  1. DoubleClick by Google

This website also uses the online marketing tool DoubleClick by Google. DoubleClick uses cookies to display advertising that is relevant for the user, to improve reports about campaign performance or to prevent a user seeing the same ad multiple times. Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are shown in which browser to prevent them from being shown multiple times. Beyond this, DoubleClick can record so-called conversions related to ad queries with the help of cookie IDs. This is the case, for example, if a user sees a DoubleClick ad and subsequently uses the same browser to call up the website of the advertiser and purchases something there. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any person-related information.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the extent and additional use of the data gathered through the use of this tool by Google, and that is why we inform you according to the extent of our knowledge: By integrating DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked one of our ads. If you are registered for a service provided by Google, Google can allocate the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered at Google or are not logged in, it is possible that the provider finds out and stores your IP address.

You can avoid participating in this tracking procedure in different ways: a) through a corresponding setting in your browser software; the suppression of third-party cookies in particular leads to you not receiving any ads by third-party providers; b) by deactivating the cookies for conversion tracking, by setting your browser in such a way that cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com” are blocked, https://www.google.de/settings/ads, with this setting being deleted when you delete your cookies; c) by deactivating the interest-related ads of providers who are part of the self-regulation campaign “About Ads”, via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, with this setting being deleted when you delete your cookies; d) through permanent deactivation in your browsers Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome under the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We note that you may not be able to use all functions on our website to their full extent in this case.

The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 I p. 1 f GDPR. Additional information about DoubleClick by Google can be found at  https://www.google.de/doubleclick and http://support.google.com/adsense/answer/2839090, as well as about data protection at Google in general: https://www.google. de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
