It allows JavaScript and HTML tags to be quickly deployed and updated on our website. Google Tag Manager, which implements the tags, is itself a cookie-free domain and only collects personal information, such as the user’s (dynamic) IP address. Rather, it merely serves to manage other services, such as Google Analytics. These services, in turn, may collect data. Your personal information is transferred to Google in the USA.

The information serves us to determine how successful the individual advertising measures are and to optimize our ads on Google.
The advertising material is delivered by Google via so-called "ad servers". For this purpose, we use ad server cookies, which can be used to measure certain parameters for measuring success, such as display of the ads or clicks by users.

For this cookie, the unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values.
Due to the Google AdWords conversion tracking used by your internet browser automatically connects directly to Google's servers. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge: Through the integration of AdWords Conversion, Google receives the information that you have called up the relevant part of our website or clicked on the ad from us.

If you wish to prevent tracking of your activities on our website, please revoke your consent for the relevant cookie category or all technically unnecessary cookies and data transfers in the Cookie Consent Tool.

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you which is carried out on the basis of legitimate interests; this also applies to profiling based on this provision.
If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.
We reserve the right to adapt this privacy policy so that it always complies with the current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g., when introducing new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.
