Privacy Policy and Data Protection Notice for Customers, Suppliers and other Business Partners

1.5.1 We use the services of Google AdWords (including Google AdWords remarketing) so that we can place advertisements (called “Google AdWords”) on external websites for the purpose of drawing attention to attractive offers. Using the data gathered from these advertising campaigns, we are able to determine how effective individual advertisements are. We use this tool to show you advertisements that might interest you, to make our website more appealing to your specific interests, and to calculate our advertising costs in a fair manner.

1.5.2 These advertisements are delivered by Google via what are known as ad servers. For this purpose, we use ad server cookies that enable us to gauge success by means of a number of metrics, such as how often advertisements are displayed and how many times they are clicked by users. If you are linked to our website by a Google advertisement, Google AdWords will save a cookie on your PC. These cookies will normally expire after 90 days and are not used to identify you personally. A cookie of this type will normally contain data for analysis such as the unique cookie ID, the number of ad impressions for each placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (a flag specifying that the user no longer wishes to be shown advertisements).

1.5.3 These cookies allow Google to recognise your Internet browser. If a user visits specific pages on the website of an AdWords customer and the cookie saved on the user’s computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer are able to discern that the user has clicked on the advertisement and was linked to this page. A different cookie is assigned to each AdWords customer. It is therefore not possible to track cookies via the websites of AdWords customers. We do not collect or process any personal data ourselves in the aforementioned advertisements. Rather, we simply receive statistical analyses of the data from Google. Based on these analyses, we are able to determine which of the advertisements placed are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of advertising, nor in particular are we able to use this information to identify users.

1.5.4 The legal basis for processing your personal data as part of the ‘Google Adwords’ service is your declaration of consent in accordance with point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. Your personal data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was processed or if you withdraw your consent. As a general rule, the relevant cookies are deleted after 90 days.

1.5.5 You can find an overview of the cookies used on our website for Google Adwords purposes in the cookie details of our cookie banner under “Change cookie settings“. You will find this in the footer of the homepage. There you can withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data for Google Adwords purposes at any time with future effect.

1.6.1 Our websites use the tool DoubleClick by Google. DoubleClick uses cookies in order to show relevant advertisements to users, to improve reporting on campaign performance, and (if the frequency capping feature is enabled) to prevent users from seeing the same advertisements multiple times. Using a cookie ID, Google can register which advertisements have been shown in which browser, preventing users from seeing the same advertisement multiple times. Furthermore, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to record what are known as conversions, which are related to ad requests. A conversion happens if, for example, a user sees a DoubleClick advertisement and then later visits the advertiser’s website and makes a purchase using the same browser. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personal information.

1.6.2 Due to the use of Google AdWords and DoubleClick by Google, your browser will automatically establish a direct connection to the Google server. We have no control over the scope and further use of data collected by Google through the use of these tools, so the information in this privacy policy reflects our current understanding of the matter. As DoubleClick has been integrated into our web services, Google will be notified when you visit the relevant part of our website or click on one of our advertisements. If you are registered with a Google service, Google may be able to attribute the visit to your individual account. Even if you are not registered with or logged into Google, it may be possible for Google to identify and save your IP address.
