• We enrich the pseudonymous data with additional data provided to us by third-party providers. In this way, we are able to record demographic characteristics of our visitors, e.g. statements on age, gender and place of residence.We use a detection method that allows us to record the mouse pointer movement of our visitors and to evaluate it afterwards.

Which third party providers do we use in this context?

Below we name the third-party providers with whom we work in connection with visitor measurement. If the data is processed outside the EU or the EEA in this context, please note that there is a risk that authorities will access the data for security and monitoring purposes without you being informed of this or being able to appeal. If we use providers in insecure third countries and you consent, the transfer to a third country takes place on the basis of Art. 49 Par. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Third-party tracking technologies for advertising purposes

We use cross-device tracking technologies so that, based on your visit to our website, you can be shown targeted advertising on other websites and we can see how effective our advertising measures were.

Art. 6 par. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or Section 15 (3) sentence 1 TMG, provided you have given your consent via our banner. Your consent is voluntary and can be withdrawn at any time.

The individual features can be used by third-party providers to recognize your device on other websites. We can commission the relevant third-party providers to place advertising based on the pages we visit.

What does cross-device tracking mean?

If you log in to the third-party provider with your own user data, the respective recognition features of different browsers and end devices can be linked to one another. So if the third party provider e.g. has created its own characteristic for the laptop, desktop PC or smartphone or tablet you are using, these individual characteristics can be assigned to one another as soon as you use a third-party service with your login data. In this way, the third-party provider can also target our advertising campaigns across different end devices.

Which third-party providers do we use in this context?

Below we name the third-party providers with whom we work for advertising purposes. If the data is processed outside the EU or the EEA in this context, please note that there is a risk that authorities will access the data for security and monitoring purposes without you being informed of this or being able to appeal.
