Google marketing and remarketing services

GDPR) we use Google marketing and remarketing services on our site, hereinafter Google marketing services, of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, hereinafter Google. The use of the Google marketing services is for the user-friendly design and continuous optimization of our site as well as for analysis purposes and for the economic improvement of our online offer.

Insofar as you have given your consent, we can use the Google marketing services to display targeted advertisements for our site on third party sites in such a way that they are adapted to the potential interests of the users. The advertisements can be adapted to the extent that the user receives offers on other pages which he has viewed but not purchased on our site (remarketing). On our site and on sites where Google marketing services are activated, a (re-)marketing tag, a corresponding code, is executed by Google for this purpose and the Internet pages are integrated. This code generates a cookie on your device, in which it is noted which Internet pages you have visited as a user, which contents you are interested in and which offers you have completed or just viewed.

We use the Google Ads service as part of these Google marketing services. By using Google Ads we can see what happens after a user clicks on the corresponding advertisement. This can be the purchase of a product, registration for a newsletter, a call to our company or the download of a file. Corresponding customer actions, which we have defined, are called conversions. The conversion cookie is therefore specially tailored to us and cannot be tracked by other Ads customers. These conversion cookies are important for us, as they enable us to compile statistics on the usage of all customers in order to optimize our offer.

Complaints and admonition

Should you feel that your rights have been violated or you are otherwise disadvantaged, please inform us yourself. You will then receive a personal and individual reply. Within the scope of your duty to minimize damages, we would like to point out that costs incurred by a lawyer commissioned by you out of court, without prior contact, will not be borne by us. There is expressly no will on our part that you instruct a lawyer with a cease-and-desist letter and/or the submission of a declaration of discontinuance with the threat of prosecution. Consequently, a presumed intention cannot be considered.
