Our aim is to show you advertising that is of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you and to achieve a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.

The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ads ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to that page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked through the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to compile conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers will see the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag.

https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=de

In order to address users whose data we have received in the context of business or business-like relationships in an even more interest-oriented way, we use a customer matching function as part of Google Ads. For this purpose, we transmit one or more files with aggregated customer data (in particular email addresses and telephone numbers) to Google electronically. Google does not gain access to clear data, but automatically encrypts the information in the customer files by means of the transmission process using a special algorithm. The encrypted information can then only be used by Google to assign it to existing Google accounts that the data subjects have set up. This enables personalized advertising to be displayed via all Google services linked to the respective Google account.

The transmission of customer data to Google will only take place if you have given us express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke this consent to us at any time with effect for the future. Further information on Google’s data protection measures in relation to the Customer Match feature can be found here: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6334160?hl=en& ref_topic=10550182

9.30 – Yumpu

We use the “Yumpu” service of the provider i-magazine AG (“Yumpu”), Gewerbestrasse 3, 9444 Diepoldsau, Switzerland, for the display of PDF files on our website.

With Yumpu, the content of pdf files is displayed as a so-called flip catalogue that is freely accessible to everyone and easy to read directly in the web browser, without the files having to be downloaded first. To run the service, your web browser retrieves the content directly from Yumpu. Yumpu receives information about your web browser and the operating system you use, as well as your IP address. Yumpu uses this data exclusively for the purposes of displaying the affected files online. Insofar as personal data is collected and transmitted to Yumpu in this process, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the user-friendly retrieval and optimal integration of PDF files on our website. In the event that data is transmitted to Yumpu in Switzerland, the appropriate level of data protection is guaranteed by an adequacy decision of the European Commission.

10) Tools and Other

Cookie-Consent-Tool

This website uses a so-called “cookie consent tool” to obtain effective user consent for cookies requiring consent and cookie-based applications. The “Cookie Consent Tool” is displayed to users when the page is accessed in the form of an interactive user interface, on which consent can be given for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications by ticking the box. By using the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user gives corresponding consent by ticking the box. This ensures that such cookies are only placed on the user’s respective end device if consent has been given.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to store your cookie preferences. Personal user data will not be processed in this process.

If, in an individual case, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in a legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.

Another legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. As the controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.

Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our site visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

Further information on the operator and the setting options of the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.
