• Type of Internet browser used
• Internet browser version

11. Meta Pixel
on our website, we use the analytics tool Meta Pixel (formerly "Facebook Pixel") from Meta Platforms Inc. or Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, D2 Dublin, Ireland ("Meta"). The Meta Pixel works with a JavaScript code snippet that is executed when someone opens a page. We use it to analyze the effectiveness of our advertising. We cannot identify individual users via our Facebook Business profile or specifically address them with advertising, but only user groups.

We use the Meta Pixel in such a way that the sending of pixel actions to Meta is interrupted until cookie consent has been given. The legal basis for the setting of these cookies and the subsequent further processing of your personal data is therefore your consent (Section 25 (1) TTDSG, Art. 1 (1) sentence 1lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time via the data protection settings on our website.

With the Meta Pixel, we want to ensure that visitors to our website on Facebook are shown advertisements that meet certain characteristics (interest in certain products, gender, certain age, living in a certain city, etc.). Meta calls the grouping of users based on certain characteristics "Custom Audiences". The advertising on Facebook should be shown to potentially interested parties and not to those who are unlikely to be interested in our product. Our Custom Audience therefore consists of the "Website Custom Audiences" function, i.e. the meta pixel matches visitors to our website with people on Facebook so that we can then create a Facebook ad for this target group. This is called "retargeting".

In addition, our custom audience can also consist of "engagement custom audiences" (custom audiences by interaction) in relation to user interactions on Instagram or Facebook. "Engagement" means, for example, that a person has clicked on a video on our Facebook page or that the person has followed our Instagram profile or left a comment there. With Engagement Custom Audiences, we can show ads to these people. While Engagement Custom Audiences are based on actions within the meta technologies, Website Custom Audiences are based on actions that take place on our website and are recorded by the meta pixel. We also use the "Lookalike Audience"function. This allows us to reach new people who are likely to be interested in our company because they are similar to our existing customers.

The pixel also helps us to statistically track the effectiveness of advertisements. This is called Meta "Conversion". The meta pixel tells us whether people in the target group have visited our website, searched for a specific product on our website, looked at a specific product or product category, whether a purchase was initiated, whether a purchase was completed. The meta pixel tells us whether people were directed to our site from a paid search engine result and whether people are interested in special offers. We can only see from the statistics whether or that this has happened - we cannot identify individual persons.

In your Facebook profile, you can choose whether you want to receive personalized advertising. You can object to the collection by Meta Pixel and the use of your data for Facebook Ads (as part of a Custom Audience). If your browser does not accept third-party cookies, the meta pixel will not be set.

You can find the Facebook data policy here: www.facebook.com/policy.php.
You can find more information from Meta about the Meta Pixel here: www.facebook.com/business/

Note on data transfers to the USA
‍The Meta Pixel is used on the basis of a contract that we have concluded with Meta Platforms Ireland.

The USA is a third country within the meaning of the GDPR, for which an adequacy decision of the EU Commission (the so-called"EU-US Data Privacy Framework" or "EU-US DPF") exists.

Another example would be if we process your data on the basis of your consent, you withdraw your consent and we do not process the data on any other legal basis. However, your right to erasure does not always exist.For example, we may process your personal data to comply with a legal obligation or because we need it for litigation.  

13.5 Right to information
If you have exercised your right to rectify, erase or restrict the processing of your data, we are obliged to notify all recipients to whom we have disclosed your personal data of the rectification, erasure or restriction of the processing of your data, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

13.6 Right to data portability
You have the right, under certain conditions, to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and the right to have this data transferred to another controller. This is the case if we process the data either on the basis of your consent or on the basis of a contract with you and that we process the data using automated procedures.
You have the right to request that we transfer your personal data directly to an other controller, insofar as this is technically feasible and does not affect the freedoms and rights of other persons.

13.7 right to object
You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data based on Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. e or lit. f GDPR for reasons arising from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

We will no longer process your personal data after an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

If we process your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to direct advertising. If you object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process it for these purposes.

13.8 right to with draw your consent
You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR. The withdrawal of consent does not retroactively invalidate the lawfulness of the processing.

13.9 Right of lodge a compaint with a supervisory authority
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy. In particular, you may exercise your right to lodge a complaint in the Member State of your residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR.

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are text files that are sent to your browser by our web server when you visit our website and are stored on your computer for later retrieval. Cookies are then sent to the server of our website with every server enquiry or page request. A cookie can therefore be used to identify your internet browser when you visit the website again. Some of the functions that we have integrated into our website also use web storage objects. These work in a similar way to cookies, but are temporarily stored in your browser and are generally not transmitted to the server.

There are session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, and there are persistent cookies, which are stored on your hard drive until their preset expiry date is reached or until you actively remove them. With web storage objects, a distinction is made between local storage objects, which never expire, and session storage objects, which are deleted when the browser is closed.

With cookies, a distinction is made between first party cookies (only visible from the domain you are currently visiting) and third party cookies (visible across domains and regularly set by third parties).

Cookies and web storage objects are divided into the following categories:

Technically necessary: these are absolutely necessary in order to move around the website, use basic functions and ensure the security of the website; they do not collect information about you for marketing purposes or store which web pages you have visited. The legal basis for the setting of technically necessary cookies and web storage objects is Section 25 para. 2 TTDSG.

Optional: These are used, for example, for analysis and marketing purposes and to display external content such as videos. Analys is cookies and web storage objects collect information about how you use a website, which pages you visit and, for example, whether errors occur when using the website. Marketing cookies and web storage objects are used to show you customised advertising on the website or offers from third parties and to measure the effectiveness of these offers. These are technologies that are not technically necessary. The legal basis for the use of these cookies and web storage objects is therefore your consent in accordance with Section 25 (1) TTDSG.

Please note the following: You can ensure yourself that no cookies and similar technologies are stored on your computer at all, or that the storage of only certain cookies is permitted. You can select this in your Internet browser settings. You can also view and delete the stored cookies there. If you block all cookies, you may not be able to use all the functions of our website.
