With the remarketing function, we can present users of our website with ad impressions on other websites within the Google Ad network (“Google Ads” or those on other websites) in the Google Search or on YouTube, based on their interests. To accomplish this, the users’ interaction at our website is analyzed – for example, the offers in which the user has expressed an interest – to be able to display targeted advertising on other websites even after the visit to our own website. Google does this by storing a piece of data in the browsers of users who visit certain Google services or websites in the Google display network. Through the use of this piece of data, known as a “cookie”, the visits of these users are registered. This piece of data is used as a unique identifier of a web browser on a specific terminal and not to identify a person. In connection with the use of Google Ads Remarketing, we collect and process the following data: Pages visited, IP address, duration of the visit, other information on the use of websites, contents on the user’s interests. In addition, the target groups for advertising established by Google Remarketing may be connected with the cross-device functionalities of Google. This way, advertising messages, that are personalized and related to your interests and that are adjusted to you based on your past use and browsing behavior on any end-device, e.g. your mobile phone, may be displayed to you on any other of your end-devices, e.g. tablet or PC.
In addition, you can configure your browser accordingly to prevent third-party advertisements. You can also permanently prevent Google from tracking by using a plug-in that is suitable for all popular web browsers. Please go to https://support.google.com/ads/answer/7395996 to start the download.
Your data will be transmitted to Google for evaluation. If you have a Google account, Google can also compile the data it receives from its tracking activities.

This means, we transmit certain customer data (e.g. e-mail addresses) from our customer list to Google. If these customers are users of Google and logged into their Google account, suitable ads will be displayed to them within the Google network, e.g. YouTube, Gmail or in the search engine.

As soon as you start a YouTube video (after giving your consent) on this website, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established, and the YouTube server will be informed which of our pages you visited.

In addition, after you started a video, YouTube may store various cookies on your end device or use comparable recognition technologies, e.g. device fingerprinting.
