8) Online marketing

8.1 Facebook Pixel for creating Custom Audiences (with the Cookie Consent Tool)
The so-called "Facebook Pixel" of social network Facebook is used within the scope of our online content, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quare, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").
If a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us which is played on Facebook, an addition is added to the URL of our linked page by Facebook Pixel. If our site allows data sharing with Facebook via Pixel, this URL parameter is written to the user's browser via a cookie which is set by our linked site. This cookie is then read out by Facebook Pixel and allows the data to be forwarded to Facebook.
With the aid of the Facebook pixel, Facebook can determine the visitors to our online content as a target group for displaying advertisements (so-called "Facebook ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook Pixel to only display the Facebook ads which we have placed to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online content or have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of websites visited), which we transmit to Facebook (so-called "Custom Audiences"). With the aid of the Facebook pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads match the potential interest of the users and do not have a harassing effect. This allows us to further evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by tracking whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called "conversion").
The data which is collected is anonymous for us, meaning that we cannot draw any conclusions about the user's identity. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection can be made to the respective user profile, and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook data usage policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). This data may allow Facebook and its partners to place ads on and outside of Facebook.
The data processing associated with the use of the Facebook Pixel is only carried out with your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DGPR. You can revoke the consent which you have given at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

8.2 Use of affiliate programmes

- ADCELL Partner Programme (Firstlead GmbH)
We participate in the partner programme "ADCELL" of Firstlead GmbH, Rosenfelder St. 15-16, 10315 Berlin (hereinafter "ADCELL"). Within the scope of its services, ADCELL stores cookies on the terminal devices of users to document transactions (e.g. "sales leads") when a visitor clicks on an advertisement with the partner link. These cookies are exclusively used to correctly assign the success of an advertising medium and the corresponding billing within the framework of the network. ADCELL also uses so-called tracking pixels. Information such as visitor traffic on the site can be evaluated via these pixels.
The information that is generated by cookies and tracking pixels about the use of this website (including the IP address) and the delivery of advertising formats is transmitted to an ADCELL server, where it is stored. Among other things, ADCELL can recognise that someone has clicked on the partner link on this website. ADCELL can pass on this (anonymised) information to contractual partners under certain circumstances, but data such as the IP address will not be stored together with other stored data.
If the information also contains personal data, the described processing is based on our legitimate financial interest in processing commission payments with ADCELL in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
If you wish to block the evaluation of user behaviour via cookies, you can set up your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and decide whether to accept them or block the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general. If you do not agree to the processing of your data as described above, you can optionally deactivate the data processing at www.adcell.de/datenschutz.
Insofar as it is legally required, we have obtained your consent for the processing of your data as described above in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.a GDPR.

Pinterest retargeting pixel

A pixel (Pinterest tag) of Pinterest Europe Ltd. (Palmerston House, 2nd Floor, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Pinterest") is integrated on this website. Information about the surfing behaviour of website visitors can be collected, stored and evaluated in pseudonymised form with the aid of the pixel. The information can be assigned to the user with the aid of further information which Pinterest has stored about the user, e.g. due to ownership of an account on the "Pinterest" social network. Pinterest analyses surfing behaviour using an algorithm, and can then display targeted product recommendations on the user's Pinterest account in the form of personalised advertising banners. Pinterest may also combine the information collected via the pixel with other information that Pinterest has collected via other websites and / or in connection with the use of the social network "Pinterest", and therefore create pseudonymised usage profiles. However, under no circumstances can the collected information be used to personally identify visitors to this website.
All of the above-mentioned processing, particularly the setting of cookies for reading out information on the terminal device that is used, only takes place if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 Para.1 lit. a DGPR. You can revoke the consent which you have given at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

This website uses the "Pinterest Tag" conversion tracking technology by Pinterest Europe Ltd, Palmerston House, 2nd Floor, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Pinterest").
If you have accessed our website from a pin on Pinterest, we will set a cookie on your computer which interacts with a "tag" which is also implemented in the form of a JavaScript code from Pinterest. Cookies are small text files which are stored on your terminal device. These cookies lose their validity after 180 days, and are not used for personal identification.
If the user is redirected to pages on this website from a pin on Pinterest and the cookie has not yet expired, the tag records certain user actions which we have predefined and can track these (e.g. completed transactions, leads, searches on the website, product page call-ups). When an action such as this is being performed, your browser sends an HTTP request to the Pinterest server via the Pinterest tag from the cookie, with which certain information about the action is transmitted (including the type of action, point in time, browser type of the terminal device).
By means of this transmission, Pinterest can generate statistics about the usage behaviour on our website after forwarding from a Pinterest Pin which we can use to optimise our offer.
However, we do not receive any information with which the user can be personally identified.
All of the above-mentioned processing, particularly the setting of cookies for reading out information on the terminal device that is used, only takes place if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 Para.1 lit. a DGPR. You can revoke the consent which you have given at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.
