This data is deleted after its evaluation or at the latest during the next server maintenance.

Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking
This website uses Google Ads. Ads is an online advertising program from Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
As part of Google Ads, we use what is known as Conversion Tracking. When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that are placed on the user’s computer by the internet browser. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification of users. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was directed to that page.
Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of Ads customers. The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are informed about the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can opt out of this usage by easily disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via your internet browser’s user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
The storage of “conversion cookies” and the use of this tracking tool are based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its web offering and its advertising.
If consent is required for further processing, it will be obtained through the Consent Management Tool when entering the website. Any consent given under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR can be revoked at any time.

The service uses “cookies” – text files that are stored on your device. The information collected by the cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Regardless of the extended data protection mode, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network.
The legitimate interest on our part in offering the videos is justified by the additional offer for our website visitors and is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR is supported. If we have obtained consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, this is requested and obtained via our Consent Management Tool and you can also revoke it at any time.
