9) Retargeting/ Remarketing and Conversion Tracking
Google Ads Conversion Tracking
This website uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and within the scope of Google Ads the
conversion tracking of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland
("Google"). We use the offer of Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of

the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns. In this way,
we pursue the aim of displaying advertising that is of interest to you, making our website more
interesting for you and achieving a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.
The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google Ads. Cookies are
small text files that are stored on your terminal device. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30
days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the
cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was
redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore
not be tracked across Google Ads customers' websites. The information obtained using the conversion
cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted in to conversion
tracking. The clients learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a
page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be
used to personally identify users. In the course of using Google Ads, personal data may also be
transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.
If the playback of embedded videos is started via the plugin, the provider also uses cookies to collect

10.2 Google Maps
This website uses an online map service provided by the following provider: Google Maps (API) by
Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").
Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps to visually display geographical
information. By using this service, you will be shown our location and a possible approach will be
facilitated.
Already when calling up those sub-pages in which the map of Google Maps is integrated, information
about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers and stored
there, this may also result in a transmission to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. This occurs
regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether a
user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account.
If you do not want the assignment with your profile at Google, you must log out before activating the
button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates
them.
The collection, storage and analysis are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO on the basis
of Google's legitimate interest in the display of personalized advertising, market research and / or the
design of Google websites. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby
you must contact Google to exercise this right. If you do not agree to the future transmission of your
data to Google in the context of the use of Google Maps, you also have the option of completely
deactivating the Google Maps web service by turning off the JavaScript application in your browser.

provider uses "Google Fonts", i.e. fonts loaded from the Internet by Google. There is no processing of
information other than that mentioned above, which is already transmitted to Google via the
functionality of ReCaptcha.
The service checks whether an input is made by a natural person or abusively by machine and
automated processing, and blocks spam, DDoS attacks, and similar automated malicious access. To
ensure that an action is performed by a human and not by an automated bot, Cloudflare Turnstile
collects the IP address of the end device used, recognition data of the browser and operating system
type used, as well as the date and duration of the visit, and transmits these to servers of the provider
for evaluation.
The legal basis is our legitimate interest in establishing individual ownership on the Internet and
preventing abuse and spam in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO.

site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

This website uses a cookie consent tool to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based
applications that require consent. The "cookie consent tool" is displayed to users in the form of an
interactive user interface when they access the page, on which consent for certain cookies and/or
cookie-based applications can be given by ticking the appropriate box. By using the tool, all
cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user grants the corresponding
consent by setting a check mark. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the respective user's
end device if consent has been granted.
The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is not
processed in this process.
If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing,
assigning or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO on the basis of
our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for
cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.
Further legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO. As the responsible party, we are
subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the
respective user consent.
Where necessary, we have concluded an order processing agreement with the provider, which ensures
the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
You can find more information about the operator and the setting options of the cookie consent tool
directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

13) Duration of the storage of personal data
The duration of the storage of personal data is determined on the basis of the respective legal basis, the
purpose of processing and - if relevant - additionally on the basis of the respective statutory retention
period (e.g. retention periods under commercial and tax law).
When processing personal data on the basis of explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO, the data
concerned will be stored until you revoke your consent.
If there are statutory retention periods for data that is processed within the scope of legal or quasi-legal
obligations on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, this data will be routinely deleted after expiry of
the retention periods, insofar as it is no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of a contract
and/or we do not have a legitimate interest in continuing to store it.
When processing personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) DSGVO, this data will be stored until you
exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21(1) DSGVO, unless we can demonstrate compelling
legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the
processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
When processing personal data for the purpose of direct marketing based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO, this
data will be stored until you exercise your right to object according to Art. 21 (2) DSGVO.
Unless otherwise stated in the other information in this statement about specific processing situations,
stored personal data will otherwise be deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which
it was collected or otherwise processed.
