Behavioral targeting opt-out
In accordance with accepted industry best practice, we have provided the following two links that our visitors can use to opt out of Interest-Based Advertising:

Facebook Pixel
We use the “visitor action pixels” from Facebook on our website.

This allows user behavior to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This enables us to measure the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes. The data collected in this way is anonymous to us, i.e. we do not see the personal data of individual users. However, this data is stored and processed by Facebook, which is why we are informing you. Facebook may link this information to your Facebook account and also use it for its own promotional purposes, in accordance with Facebook’s Data Usage Policy https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. You can allow Facebook and its partners to place ads on and off Facebook. A cookie may also be stored on your computer for these purposes.

You can object to the collection of your data by Facebook pixel, or to the use of your data for the purpose of displaying Facebook ads by contacting the following address: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads or http://www.aboutads.info/choices/

Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus guarantees compliance with European data protection legislation:

We may pass your information to our partners for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services. When we do so, we disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the service and our partners act in accordance with the instructions we give them. This means that they cannot do anything with your personal information unless we have instructed them to do it  and they must meet the requirements of the Data Protection Act and General Data Protection Regulation to keep the information secure.

  • Right to object:
    If we are using your data because we deem it necessary for our legitimate interests to do so, and you do not agree, you have the right to object.
