The information about your use of this website generated by the cookie (including your IP address) is transferred to a Google server in the United States and is saved there.

Facebook Pixel.

We use the “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.

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/.

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

We use services and content provided by third parties on our website. For this kind of integration, it is technically necessary to process your IP address so that the content can be sent to your browser.
