Our website uses so-called social plugins ("plugins") of the social network Facebook operated by Facebook Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA ("Facebook").

​​​​​The plugins are labeled with a Facebook logo or the addition "Facebook Social Plug-in" or "Facebook Social Plugin".
An overview of the Facebook plugins and their appearance can be found at: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins

If you access a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of Facebook. The content of the plugin is directly sent from Facebook to your browser and integrated into the page.
Through this integration, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook profile or are not currently logged in to Facebook.

This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a server of Facebook in the USA and stored there. If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can immediately associate your visit to our website with your Facebook profile.

If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the "I like" button or by submitting a comment, this information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there.
The information is also published on your Facebook profile and signaled to your Facebook friends. The described data processing processes take place in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR on the basis of Facebook's legitimate interests in the insertion of personalized advertising for the purpose of informing other users of the social network about your activities on our website and for the purpose of demand-oriented design of the service.

If you do not want Facebook to associate the information collected through our website directly with your Facebook profile, you must log out of Facebook before you visit our website.

Within the framework of the contract with Criteo, we determine the scope of the respective marketing campaign.

The implementation of this marketing campaign, including the decision over which advertisements are delivered where, is then the responsibility of Criteo.

For this, a code from Criteo is exported directly by Criteo to our website and so-called (re-)marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also known as “web beacons” are integrated.

With the help of these tags, an individual cookie, i. e. a small file, is saved on your device (instead of cookies other comparable technologies may also be used).

The web pages visited by the user, the content they are interested in, the offers they clicked on as well as technical information on browser and operating system, referring web sites, duration of the visit and other information regarding the usage of the online services are stored in this file.

When you retrieve this content, the device you are using establishes a connection to Cloudflare and this results in the processing of the IP address of the device you are using.
