This data allows an individual conclusion to be drawn about the newsletter recipient and is processed by Klaviyo for the automated creation of statistics that show whether a specific recipient has opened a newsletter message. For the evaluation, the sent e-mails contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which are single-pixel image files that are stored on our website. This makes it possible to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked on. With the help of the web beacons, Klaviyo automatically creates general, non-personal statistics about the response behavior to newsletter campaigns.

  • Data recipient: Klaviyo, Inc, 125 Summer St, Floor 6 Boston, MA 02111, USA, https://www.klaviyo.com/
  • Klaviyo privacy policy: https://www.klaviyo.com/legal/privacy-notice

  • Third-country-transfer: Data processing is carried out in the USA.
  • Appropriate safeguards for the transfer of data: We have entered into a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with Klaviyo to protect your personal data. This also contains the EU standard contractual clauses from 2021, which are to be considered as appropriate safeguards according to Art. 46 (2) lit c) DSGVO. In order to comply with the requirements of the ECJ from its judgment (C-311/18), additional measures have been agreed with Klaviyo, which are also included in the above-mentioned DPA, to protect your personal data.

IV.7. Web analysis, Marketing

Google Analytics and Remarketing

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Ltd. (Google). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”. This is information that is often stored in databases on your terminal device and which enables an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by users is generally transmitted to the parent company of Google in the USA and stored there.

Our website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the extension //«_anonymizeIp()»//, which ensures anonymisation of the IP address by truncating it and excluding direct personal reference. By extension, your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to Google's parent company in the USA and shortened there.

Our website uses the “demographic characteristics” function for this purpose. This allows reports to be created that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of the site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person.

Our website uses the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. This function makes it possible to link the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-based, personalised advertising messages that have been adapted to you on one end device (e.g. mobile phone), depending on your previous usage and surfing behaviour, can also be displayed on another of your end devices (e.g. tablet or PC). To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated IDs of users, which are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create target groups for cross-device ad advertising.

  • Purpose of the processing: Tracking (e.g. interest/behavioural profiling), visit action evaluation, interest-based and behavioural marketing, profiling (creation of user profiles), conversion measurement (measurement of the effectiveness of marketing measures), reach measurement (e.g. access statistics, recognition of returning visitors). These purposes apply to us as well as to Google and its parent company.
  • Legal basis: For the use of Google Analytics and Remarketing, you may give us your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sent. 1 lit. a GDPR, which you can revoke at any time with future effect by deselecting “Marketing” or “Google Analytics” in the cookie settings on our site.
  • Storage period: We store the anonymised data determined in this way for a maximum period of 14 months. Afterwards, the data is deleted automatically. With regard to the storage period by Google, we refer you to their privacy policy.
  • Objection / Opt-Out: You can object to the collection of your data by installing a browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
    You can also deactivate personalised advertising directly at Google: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/

Google Tag Manager

On our website we use the Google Tag Manager of the company Google. The Google Tag Manager is an online tool with which we can integrate and manage website tags centrally and via a user interface. Tags are small sections of code that, for example, record your activities on our website. For this purpose, JavaScript code sections are inserted into the source code of our website. The tags come from Google Ads or Google Analytics, for example, but tags from other companies can also be integrated and managed via the manager. Such tags take on different tasks. They can collect browser data, embed buttons, set cookies and also track users across multiple websites. In the Tag Manager account settings, we have allowed Google to receive anonymised data from us. However, this refers to only the use and usage of our Tag Manager and not your data stored via the code sections.

  • Purpose of the processing: Tracking (e.g. interest/behavioural profiling), visit action evaluation, interest-based and behavioural marketing, profiling (creation of user profiles), conversion measurement (measurement of the effectiveness of marketing measures), reach measurement (e.g. access statistics, recognition of returning visitors). These purposes apply to us as well as to Google and its parent company. As far as we are aware, Google also uses the data collected in this way (anonymised) for its own purposes. In this respect, we refer your to Google's privacy policy.
  • Legal basis and legitimate interests: For the integration of the Google Tag Manager on our website, this processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behaviour for optimisation and marketing purposes. The use of the various tags then takes place in accordance with the sections described separately with the express consent of the user.
  • Storage period: With regard to the storage period by Google, we refer you to their privacy policy.
  • Data recipient: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland

  • Third-country transfer: If non-anonymised data is transferred to Google LLC, then data processing takes place in the USA.

Google Optimize

We use “Google Optimize” of the company Google Ireland Ltd. (“Google”) on our website. We use this web analysis and optimisation service to increase the attractiveness, content and functionality of our internet presence by playing out new functions and content to a percentage of our users and statistically evaluating the change in usage. Google Optimize is a sub-service of Google Analytics (see section Google Analytics).

Google Optimize uses cookies to optimise and analyse your use of our website. We only use Google Optimize with IP anonymisation activated, so that your IP address is truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity and optimisation tests, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

  • Purpose of the processing: Tracking (e.g. interest/behavioural profiling), visit action evaluation, interest-based and behavioural marketing, profiling (creation of user profiles), conversion measurement (measurement of the effectiveness of marketing measures), reach measurement (e.g. access statistics, recognition of returning visitors). These purposes apply to us as well as to Google and its parent company.
  • Legal basis: For the use of Google Optimize, you may give us your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sent. 1 lit. a GDPR, which you can revoke at any time with effect for the future by deselecting “Marketing” in the cookie settings on our site.

IV.8. Conversion tracking, Remarketing

Bing Ads

We use the following tools on our website, which are provided and operated by Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”).

Bing Ads Conversion Tracking

This is a tool for measuring the reach of our advertisements. It determines how successful our advertising efforts are on Bing and Yahoo. In this way, we only display the advertisements that are of interest to the respective user. For this purpose, the UET Tag (Universal Event Tracking Tag) from Microsoft is integrated on our website. With the help of this JavaScript code, Microsoft is enabled to collect pseudonymised data about the user's visit and use of our Internet presence (e.g. about the browser session and the website displayed) via cookies and to provide us with aggregated, non-personal statistics on this basis (e.g. how many visitors have reached a certain target page).

Bing Ads Remarketing

This is a tool with which we can display relevant advertising to the user of our Internet presence after the visit to us, even if the user is already on other websites. In this way, we want to show the respective user advertisements that are of interest to said user. This is done via a cookie stored in the user's browser (see above), via which the usage behaviour is recorded and evaluated. No personal information is transmitted to us about individual website visitors, and website customer target groups can only be targeted by us in advertisements if the customer target group has reached a critical size in terms of numbers.

  • Purpose of the processing: Marketing, remarketing, profiling with user-related information (creating user profiles)
  • Legal basis: For the use of Bing Ads, you may give us your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sent. 1 lit. a GDPR, which you can revoke at any time with future effect by deselecting “Marketing” or “Bing Ads” in the cookie settings on our site.
  • Storage period: With regard to the storage period by Microsoft, we refer you to their privacy policy.
  • Objection / Opt-Out: If you do not want information about your behaviour to be used by Microsoft as explained above, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this – for example, by means of a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies. You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website, as well as the processing of this data by Microsoft, by declaring your objection under the following link: https://account.microsoft.com/privacy/ad-settings/signedout
    Deactivating interest-based ads is also possible under: https://about.ads.microsoft.com/en-us/resources/policies/personalized-ads

  • Third-country transfer: If non-anonymised data is transferred to Microsoft Corp., then data processing takes place in the USA.

Facebook Pixel

On our website, we use the Facebook Pixel function, a product of Facebook Ireland Ltd (“Facebook”). This enables Facebook to determine the visitors to our website as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called “Facebook ads”). We use Facebook Pixel to display Facebook ads placed by us only to users on Facebook, and within the services of partners cooperating with Facebook (so-called “audience network” https://www.facebook.com/audiencenetwork/), who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interest in certain topics or products that are evident from the websites visited) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called “custom audiences”). In addition, we also want to make sure that our Facebook ads match the potential interests of the users and do not bother the users. With the help of the Facebook Pixel, we can also track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called “conversion measurement”).

  • Pursuant to Art. 4 No. 7, 26 GDPR, we are jointly responsible for the processing of the data for so-called “event dates” with: Facebook Ireland Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Facebook”), 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. Parent company: Facebook, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA
  • Purpose of the processing: a) displaying content and advertising information that is relevant to users' perceived interests; b) delivering commercial and transactional messages (e.g. targeting users via Facebook Messenger); c) improving ad delivery and personalising features and content (e.g. improving the identification of which content or advertising information is likely to be relevant to users' interests).
  • Legal basis: see Facebook's data policy at: https://www.facebook.com/policy
  • Third-country transfer: Facebook Ireland, to our knowledge, transmits users' data to its parent company in the USA.
  • Appropriate safeguards for the transfer of data: Facebook relies on the Commission's standard data protection clauses under Art. 46 Para. 2 c) GDPR for data transfers to the US, cf. https://www.facebook.com/help/566994660333381?ref=dp

Google Ads (formerly AdWords)

Our website uses “Google Ads” of the company Google Ireland Ltd. (Google) in order to advertise our products with it. We use conversion tracking for this purpose on our website. This records which internet users clicked on our advertising on external websites and then came to our website. In addition, we can use it to record whether our advertisements have triggered certain actions on our website (e.g. ordering in the shop, subscribing to a newsletter, etc.). However, we only learn the anonymous total number of users who clicked on our ad and were redirected to a page marked with a so-called “conversion tracking tag”. However, we ourselves do not receive any information with which users can be identified. However, in the context of so-called conversion measurements, we can check which of our online marketing methods have led to a so-called conversion, i.e., for example, to a contract being concluded with us. The conversion measurement is used solely to analyse the success of our marketing measures.

  • Shared responsibility: We are jointly responsible for the integration of Google AdSense along with Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Parent company: Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA

Google AdSense

Our website uses “AdSense” of the company Google Ireland Ltd. (Google) to place ads on the Google advertising network (e.g., in search results, in videos, on web pages, etc.) so that they are displayed to users who have a presumed interest in the ads. Furthermore, we measure the conversion of the ads. However, we only learn the anonymous total number of users who clicked on our ad and were redirected to a page marked with a so-called “conversion tracking tag”. However, we ourselves do not receive any information with which users can be identified. However, in the context of so-called conversion measurements, we can check which of our online marketing methods have led to a so-called conversion, i.e., for example, to a contract being concluded with us. The conversion measurement is used solely to analyse the success of our marketing measures.

Our website uses Google AdSense exclusively with anonymised IP addresses. This means that your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

This type of integration ensures that when a page of our website containing such buttons is called up, no connection is yet established with the servers of the respective social network. When you click on the button, a new browser window opens and calls up the page of the social network. If necessary, after entering your login data, you can then carry out the function provided (e.g. “like” or “share”).

By clicking on the respective plugin, you are giving us your personal consent to the transmission of data to the respective social network. In particular, your IP address is transmitted to the respective social network. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time.

Google reCAPTCHA

Our website uses Google reCAPTCHA, a service provided by Google Ireland Ltd. (Google), to protect against misuse of our web forms and spam. This service monitors the user's behaviour when filling out the web form in order to distinguish humans from bots. If a bot is detected, the web form is blocked, thus preventing misuse. To do this, a code embedded in the web page, a so-called JavaScript, must be executed. Individual user input is not required. Cookies are not set for this purpose. Personal data is neither stored by the responsible party nor by Google. So-called Google WebFonts are also loaded to run the service.

If the score does not reach a certain value, the request is considered the input of a bot and the web form is not sent. If you are for some reason unable to submit the web form, there are several alternatives for contacting the controller (e.g. letter, fax, e-mail). A significant impairment is not associated with this.
  • Storage period: We do not store any data in connection with this service.
  • Data recipient: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland

Facebook uses so-called cookies. We have no influence on the scope and content of the uses of those cookies. Therefore, we refer you to the information from Facebook on the subject of cookies at: https://www.instagram.com/legal/cookies/

IV.3. Instagram Insights

Statistical data from different categories are available to us via so-called “Insights”. These statistics are generated by Instagram and made available to our account. We have no influence over this, i.e. we can neither prevent Instagram from collecting the data nor prevent it from being made available to us.

According to Facebook, these are essentially the three insights as laid out below:

  • Discovery:Measuring the number of people who have accessed Instagram content and information about where they discovered it. This mainly involves determining what reach and how many impressions the Instagram content has achieved. The reach here is the number of individual accounts that have accessed the posts. Impressions refers to the total number of views of the posts.
  • Target group:Information about current subscribers on Instagram. In particular, the development of the number of subscribers.

Due to the constant development of Instagram, the availability and processing of data changes, so we refer you to Instagram's data protection policy for up-to-date and further details.

We use this data, which is available in aggregated form, to make our posts and activities on our Instagram account more attractive to users. Information about the type of end devices used by visitors helps us to adapt the visual design of the articles accordingly.
