Temporary cookies, or “session cookies” or “transient cookies,” are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online offering and closes their browser. Such a cookie can, for example, store the contents of a shopping cart in an online shop or a login status. Cookies that remain stored even after the browser is closed are referred to as “permanent” or “persistent”. For example, the login status can be saved if users visit it after several days. The interests of users can also be stored in such a cookie, which is used for range measurement or marketing purposes. “Third-party cookies” are cookies that are offered by providers other than the person responsible for operating the online offering (otherwise, if they are only their cookies, they are referred to as “first-party cookies”).

Participation in affiliate partner programs

Within our online offering, we use industry-standard tracking measures based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offering) in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR, to the extent that these are necessary for the operation of the affiliate system. Below we explain the technical background to users.

The services offered by our contractual partners can also be advertised and linked on other websites (so-called affiliate links or after-buy systems, for example if links or third-party services are offered after a contract has been concluded). The operators of the respective websites receive a commission if users follow the affiliate links and then take advantage of the offers.

In summary, it is necessary for our online offering that we can track whether users who are interested in affiliate links and/or the offers available from us subsequently take advantage of the offers at the instigation of the affiliate links or our online platform. For this purpose, the affiliate links and our offers are supplemented by certain values, which can be part of the link or set elsewhere, for example in a cookie. The values include in particular the source website (referrer), time, an online identifier of the operator of the website on which the affiliate link was located, an online identifier of the respective offer, an online identifier of the user, as well as tracking specific values such as advertising material ID, partner ID and categorizations.

The online user identifiers we use are pseudonymous values. This means that the online identifiers themselves do not contain any personal data such as names or email addresses. They only help us to determine whether the same user who clicked on an affiliate link or was interested in an offer via our online offer took advantage of the offer, i.e. concluded a contract with the provider. However, the online identifier is personal to the extent that the partner company and we also have the online identifier together with other user data. This is the only way the partner company can tell us whether the user has taken advantage of the offer and whether we can, for example, pay out the bonus.

Retrieval of emojis and smilies

Our WordPress blog uses graphic emojis (or smilies), i.e. small graphic files that express feelings, which are obtained from external servers. The server providers collect the IP addresses of the users. This is necessary so that the emoji files can be delivered to users' browsers. The Emojie service is provided by Automattic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA. Automattic’s privacy policy: https://automattic.com/privacy/.

The Tag Manager itself (which implements the tags) does not process users' personal data. With regard to the processing of users' personal data, reference is made to the following information on Google services. Usage guidelines: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.

Google Analytics

Based on our legitimate interests (ie interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR), we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google LLC (“Google”). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about users' use of the online offering is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offering by users, to compile reports on the activities within this online offering and to provide us with other services related to the use of this online offering and internet usage. Pseudonymous user profiles can be created from the processed data.

We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymization activated. This means that the user's IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

The IP address transmitted by the user's browser is not merged with other Google data. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by setting their browser software accordingly; Users can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to their use of the online offering and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Further information on data usage by Google, settings and objection options can be found in Google's data protection declaration (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads) as well as in the settings for the display of advertising by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).

Users' personal data will be deleted or anonymized after 14 months.

Google Universal Analytics

We use Google Analytics in the form “Universal Analytics" a. “Universal Analytics” refers to a process from Google Analytics in which user analysis is carried out on the basis of a pseudonymous user ID and thus a pseudonymous profile of the user is created with information from the use of various devices (so-called “cross-device tracking”). .

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR), we use the services of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 , USA, (“Google”).

We use the AdSense service, with which ads are displayed on our website and we receive compensation for their display or other use. For these purposes, usage data, such as the click on an ad and the user's IP address, is processed, whereby the IP address is shortened by the last two digits. Therefore, the processing of user data is carried out pseudonymously.

We use Adsense with personalized ads. Google draws conclusions about their interests based on the websites visited or apps used by users and the user profiles created in this way. Advertisers use this information to target their campaigns to these interests, which is beneficial for users and advertisers alike. For Google, ads are personalized when collected or known data determines or influences ad selection. This includes, but is not limited to, previous searches, activity, website visits, app usage, demographic and location information. Specifically, this includes: demographic targeting, interest category targeting, remarketing, and targeting of customer match lists and audience lists uploaded to DoubleClick Bid Manager or Campaign Manager.

Google Doubleclick

We use the Google “Doubleclick” online marketing process to place advertisements in the Google advertising network (e.g. in search results, in videos, on websites, etc.). Double Click is characterized by displaying ads in real time based on users' presumed interests. This allows us to display advertisements for and within our online offering in a more targeted manner in order to only present users with advertisements that potentially match their interests. For example, if a user is shown ads for products that they were interested in on other online offerings, this is referred to as “remarketing”. For these purposes, when you visit our and other websites on which the Google advertising network is active, Google directly executes a code from Google and so-called (re)marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also known as " “Web beacons”) are integrated into the website. With their help, an individual cookie, ie a small file, is stored on the user's device (comparable technologies can also be used instead of cookies). This file records which websites the user has visited, what content the user is interested in and which offers the user has clicked on, as well as technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visiting time and other information about the use of the online offer.

The user's IP address is also recorded, although this is shortened within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area and only in exceptional cases is transmitted in its entirety to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google may also combine the information mentioned above with such information from other sources. If the user then visits other websites, they can be shown advertisements tailored to them based on their presumed interests based on their user profile.

User data is processed pseudonymously within the Google advertising network. This means that Google does not store and process the user's name or email address, for example, but rather processes the relevant cookie-related data within pseudonymous user profiles. This means that from Google's perspective, the advertisements are not managed and displayed for a specifically identified person, but for the cookie holder, regardless of who the cookie holder is. This does not apply if a user has expressly allowed Google to process the data without this pseudonymization. The information collected by Google Marketing Services about users is transmitted to Google and stored on Google's servers in the USA.

Online presence in social media

We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to be able to communicate with customers, interested parties and users who are active there and inform them about our services. When accessing the respective networks and platforms, the terms and conditions and data processing guidelines of their respective operators apply.

Unless otherwise stated in our data protection declaration, we process users' data if they communicate with us on social networks and platforms, e.g. write posts on our online presence or send us messages.

Integration of third-party services and content

Within our online offering, we use content or service offerings from third-party providers based on our legitimate interests (ie interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR) in order to improve their content and To integrate services such as videos or fonts (hereinafter referred to as “content”).

This always assumes that the third party providers of this content are aware of the user's IP address, as without the IP address they would not be able to send the content to their browser. The IP address is therefore required to display this content. We strive to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. Third parties may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. The “pixel tags” can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information can also be stored in cookies on the user's device and may contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visiting time and other information about the use of our online offering, as well as being linked to such information from other sources.

Google Fonts

We incorporate the fonts (“Google Fonts”) from the provider Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Data protection: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt Out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

Google Maps

We incorporate the maps from the “Google Maps” service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The data processed may include, in particular, users' IP addresses and location data, which, however, are not collected without their consent (usually carried out as part of the settings of their mobile devices). The data can be processed in the USA. Data protection: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt Out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

Further information on data usage by Google, settings and objection options can be found in Google's data protection declaration (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads) as well as in the settings for the display of advertising by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).
