The full IP-address is transferred only in exceptional cases to a server owned by Google in USA and cut there. By order of the website provider Google will use this information to evaluate your user behaviour on our website for the creation of reports about website activities and to enable further service to the website provider in respect to website utilization and internet utilization of connected services.

§ 11 Use of Remarketing

(1) Our websites use remarketing technologies of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). We use these technologies to create the internet offering more interest for you. This technique allows us to appeal to those internet users who have already shown interest in our products again with advertisement on websites of our partners. We are convinced that the flash of a personalized and interest-related advertisement is generally more interesting for the internet user than promotion without such a personal reference.

(2) This website uses so-called „remarketing-tags“.  Visiting a page on this website including a „remarketing-tag“ will lead to the positioning of a cookie on the computer of the user by a provider of online advertisement (e.g. Google) and to an allocation to suitable remarketing-target group lists. This cookie serves also in future to switch remarketing campaigns (interest-related advertisement) on other websites.

(3) Flashing these advertising media on the pages of our partners happens also on the basis of a cookie-technology and an analysis of former user behaviour. By their own account Google does not collect personal data in the course of this procedure. Personal data are not stored and user profiles are not consolidated with individual-related data. 

(4) If you do not wish to receive interest-related advertisement, the use of cookies by Google for this purpose can be deactivated by selecting: https://www.google.de/settings/ads.
