With the help of the Facebook Pixel, we can also understand the effectiveness of the Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes, in which we see whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called "conversion").
The processing of the data by Facebook is part of Facebook's data usage policy.
Accordingly, general notes on how to display Facebook Ads, in Facebook's Data Usage Policy. For specific information and details about the Facebook Pixel and how it works, visit the help section of Facebook.
You may object to the capture by the Facebook Pixel and use of your data to display Facebook Ads. To set which types of ads you see on Facebook, you can go to the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions for the usage-based advertising settings.
The settings are platform independent, i.e. they are adopted for all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices. You can also use the Cookies for distance measurement and promotional purposes via the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative and in addition the US website or the European website.

We maintain an online presence within social networks and platforms to communicate with customers, prospects, and users active there and to inform them about our services. When calling the respective networks and platforms, the terms and conditions and the data processing guidelines apply to their respective operators. Unless otherwise stated in our Privacy Policy, we process users' data as long as they communicate with us on social networks and platforms, e.g. write posts on our online presence or send us messages.

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online platforms within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. DSGVO), we make use of content or services offered by third-party providers in order to provide their content and services, such as videos or fonts (collectively referred to as "content").
This always presupposes that the third-party providers of this content perceive the IP address of the users since they could not send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. We endeavour to use only content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. Third parties may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also referred to 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 may also be stored in cookies on the user's device and may include, but is not limited to, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring web pages, visit time, and other information regarding the use of our online platforms.

We bind the function to detect bots, e.g., when entering into online forms ("ReCaptcha") of the provider Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Privacy Policy, opt-out.

We include maps from the Google Maps service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The processed data may include, in particular, users' IP addresses and location data, but these are not collected without their consent (usually as part of the settings of their mobile devices). The data can be processed in the USA. Privacy Policy, opt-out.

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) f. DSGVO) we use social plugins ("plugins") of the social network facebook.com, which operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"). The plugins can represent interaction elements or content (e.g., videos, graphics or text contributions) and can be recognised by one of the Facebook logos (white "f" on blue tile, the terms "Like," "Like" or a "thumbs up" sign ) or are marked with the addition "Facebook Social Plugin." The list and appearance of Facebook Social Plugins can be viewed here. Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, which provides a guarantee to comply with European privacy legislation. When a user invokes a feature of this online offering that includes such a plugin, their device establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to the device of the user and incorporated by him into the online offer. In the process, user profiles can be created from the processed data. We, therefore, do not influence the amount of data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and therefore informs the users according to our knowledge. By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of the online platforms. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to his Facebook account. If users interact with the plugins, for example, press the Like button or leave a comment, the information is transmitted from your device directly to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook will find out and save their IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymous IP address is stored in Germany. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as the related rights and setting options for protecting the privacy of users, can be found in Facebook's privacy policy. If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about him via these online platforms and link it to his member data stored on Facebook, he must log out of Facebook and delete his cookies before using our online platforms. Other settings and inconsistencies regarding the use of data for advertising purposes are possible within the Facebook profile settings or via the US-American site or the EU page. The settings are platform independent, ie. they are adopted for all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.
