These cookies are deleted at the end of your visit.

10.3 Technically not necessary mechanisms

We only use technically not necessary cookies and tracking mechanisms if you have given us your prior consent. 

The only exception to this is the cookie that stores the current status of your privacy settings (selection cookie).

In addition, Google can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. The cookies do not contain any personal information such as e-mail addresses, names or addresses.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google's server. Through the integration of the floodlight tag, Google receives the information that you have called up the relevant part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us.

If you generally want to reject cookies, you can set up your browser so that it always informs you when a cookie is to be set.

Technically this is done using the "Tealium AudienceStream CDP Cookie”. You can revoke this function at any time in the "Privacy settings" with deselecting the “Marketing” consent on our website and we will remove you from the customer match list of the providers.

You can access the main contents of the agreement at  link at any time: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. In particular, it regulates which security measures "Meta" must observe (https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/data_security_terms) and how data subject rights can be asserted against "Meta".

10.3.9 Pinterest pixel

Name: Pinterest Tag Conversion Tracking Pixel

Provider: Pinterest Europe Ltd, Palmerston House, 2nd Floor, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Function: If you have reached our website from a pin on Pinterest, we set a cookie on your computer, which interacts with a likewise implemented "tag" in the form of a JavaScript code from Pinterest. If the user is redirected from a pin on Pinterest to pages on this website and the cookie has not yet expired, the tag records certain user actions predefined by us and can track them (e.g. completed transactions, leads, searches on the website, calls to product pages). When such an action is performed, your browser sends a request ("Request") from the cookie to Pinterest's server via the Pinterest tag, with certain information about the action (including type of action, time, browser type of the end device). Through this transmission, Pinterest can create statistics about the usage behaviour on our website after forwarding from a Pinterest Pin, which serve us to optimize our offer. Regarding this processing of Pinterest Analytics data, there is a Joint Controllership between Pinterest and us. Details of this are set out in the Pinterest Joint Controller Addendum ("JCA") in the Pinterest Advertising Services Agreement, which can be found here and which sets out the respective responsibilities for compliance with the obligations relating to joint processing under the GDPR: https://business.pinterest.com/en/pinterest-advertising-services-agreement/. This means, in particular, that both joint data controllers will preserve and enable your data subject rights under data protection law in their area of responsibility.

We do not receive any information from Pinterest that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can object to this by deactivating the Pinterest tag conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. You can change the cookie settings in your browser at any time. If you generally want to reject cookies, you can set up your browser so that it always informs you when a cookie is to be set. In this way, you can decide for each individual cookie whether you allow the cookie or not.
