1. We use the offering of Google Adwords, to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertisements (so-called Google Adwords) on external websites. We can determine the success of the individual advertising measures in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns. We aim at showing you advertisements that are of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.
    
2. These advertisements are delivered by Google via so-called "Ad Servers". For this purpose, we use ad server cookies, through which certain parameters for measuring success, such as the insertion of advertisements or clicks by users, can be measured. If you access our website via a Google advert, Google Adwords stores a cookie on your PC. In general, these cookies expire after 30 days and are not intended to personally identify you. With regard to this cookie, the unique cookie ID, the number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), the last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (mark that the user no longer wishes to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values.
    
3. These cookies enable Google to recognize your Internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of the website of an Adwords customer and the cookie stored on his/her computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user has clicked on the advertisement and has been re-directed to this page. Each Adwords customer is assigned a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be traced via the websites of Adwords customers. We do not collect and process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. Google only provides us with statistical evaluations. On the basis of these evaluations, we are able to determine which of the advertising measures are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data relating to the use of advertising measures; in particular we are not able to identify users on the basis of this information.
    
4. On account of the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google’s server. We have no influence on the extent and the further use of the data which are collected by Google using this tool and therefore inform you according to our level of knowledge: By the integration of AdWords Conversion, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our Internet presence or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google is able to assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or are not logged in, the provider may obtain and store your IP address.
    
5. You can prevent the use of this tracking process in various ways: a) by setting your browser software accordingly, in particular by suppressing third-party cookies, you will not receive any advertisements from third-party providers; b) by deactivating cookies for conversion tracking, by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com", https://www.google.com/settings/ads, whereby this setting is cancelled if you delete your cookies; c) by deactivating the interest-related advertisements of the providers who take part in the self-regulation campaign “About Ads” via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices,  whereby this setting is cancelled if you delete your cookies; d) by permanently deactivating in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers using the following link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. Please note that in this case you may not be able to use the full range of all functions of this offering.
    
6. The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR (EU). Further information about Google’s data protection is provided here at: https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://services.google.com/sitestats/en.html.

3. YouTube components with enhanced privacy mode
   On our website we use components (videos) from the company YouTube, LLC 901 Cherry Ave., 94066 San Bruno, CA, USA, a company of Google Inc., Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. We use the "extended privacy mode" option provided by YouTube.
   
   When you visit a page that has embedded video, a connection to the YouTube servers is established and the content is displayed on the website by notifying your browser.

   According to YouTube, in "- extended data protection mode -" only data is transmitted to the YouTube server, in particular which of our websites you have visited when you watch the video. If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, this information is associated with your YouTube member account. You can prevent this by logging out of your member account before visiting our website. More information about YouTube's privacy policy is available from Google at the following link: https://policies.google.com/privacy

It can happen that within our pages third party content, such as videos from YouTube, map material from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites are integrated. This always presupposes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as "third-party providers") are aware of the IP address of the users. Without the IP address, they would not be able to send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of this content. We make every effort to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP address only to deliver the content. However, we have no influence on this if the third-party providers store the IP address for statistical purposes, for example. As far as we are aware of this, we inform the users about it.

In addition to Adwords Conversion, we use the Google Remarketing application. This is a procedure we would like to use to contact you again. This application allows you to view our advertisements after visiting our website when you continue to use the Internet. This is carried out by means of cookies stored in your browser on the basis of which your usage behaviour is recorded and evaluated by Google when visiting various websites.  Thus Google can determine your previous visit to our website. According to its own statements, Google does not combine the data collected in the context of remarketing with your personal data, which may be stored by Google. According to Google, a pseudonymization is used for remarketing in particular. The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR (EU).
