Google Analytics

Order data processing

Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics

This website uses the “demographic characteristics” function in general.

Google Analytics remarketing

Our websites use the functions of Google Analytics and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

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, personalized advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one device (e.g. mobile phone) can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g. tablet or PC).

If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browser history to your Google account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalized advertising messages can be displayed on every device on which you log in with your Google account.

To support this function, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs, which are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data in order to define and create target groups for cross-device advertising.

 

You can permanently object to cross-device remarketing / targeting by deactivating personalized advertising in your Google account; follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

The aggregation of the recorded data in your Google account takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent, which you can give to Google or revoke (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). In the case of data collection processes that are not merged in your Google account (e.g. because you do not have a Google account or have objected to the merging), the collection of data is based on Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that the website operator has an interest in the anonymised analysis of the website visitors for advertising purposes.

Cookies are small text files that the Internet browser stores on the user's computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. If the user visits certain pages on this website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can see that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

Every Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The conversion tracking tag page has been forwarded.

ActiveCampaign

We use the email marketing provider ActiveCampaign, LLC, 150 North Michigan Avenue, Suite 1230, Chicago, IL 60601, USA for the manual and automated dispatch of newsletter emails.

With the judgment of the European Court of Justice on October 6, 2015, the Safe Harbor Agreement is no longer valid. The data transfer to non-European service providers is moving in a legal gray area until a new agreement on transatlantic data transfer is drawn up by politicians. The registration in the newsletter distribution is done on a voluntary basis. It requires your consent to the transfer of your email data to ActiveCampaign. If you do not agree, you cannot use the newsletter service.

ActiveCampaign guarantees the technical processing of the contact management and the sending of the newsletter. According to ActiveCampaign, customer data will not be passed on to third parties, but can be made accessible by order of state investigative authorities.

ActiveCampaign also enables us to subdivide the newsletter recipients based on different categories (so-called tagging). The newsletter recipients can be classified according to gender, personal preferences (e.g. vegetarian or non-vegetarian) or customer relationship (e.g. customer or potential customer). In this way, the newsletters can be better adapted to the respective target groups.

If you do not want an analysis by ActiveCampaign, you must therefore unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for this in every newsletter message. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.

Legal basis

The data processing takes place on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. The
