9.7. Facebook-,CustomAudiences and Facebook-Marketing-Services

Within our online offer, due to our legitimate interests in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer we deploy the so-called "Facebook pixel" -s of the social network Facebook, which is developed by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or if you are resident in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").

 Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active). With the help of the Facebook pixel, Facebook is able to identify the visitors of our online offer as the target group for the presentation of advertisements (so-called "Facebook ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to display the Facebook ads posted by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined by the websites visited) that we submit to Facebook (so-called "Custom Audiences"). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we also want to make sure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and do not seem annoying. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can also track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes, in which we can see whether users have been redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called " conversion").

The Facebook pixel is directly integrated by Facebook upon visiting our websites and can store a so-called cookie, i.e. a small file, on your device. If you then log in to Facebook or visit Facebook in a logged-in state, the visit to our online offer will be noted in your profile. The data collected about you is anonymous to us, so we do not provide any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and can be used by Facebook as well as for its own market research and advertising purposes.

Furthermore, when using the Facebook pixel, we use the additional function "extended matching" (in this case data such as phone numbers, e-mail addresses or Facebook IDs of the users) for the formation of target groups ("Custom Audiences" or "Look Alike Audiences") Facebook (encrypted). Further information on "extended matching":https://www.facebook.com/business/help/611774685654668).

Processing of the data by Facebook takes place within the framework of Facebook's data usage policy. Accordingly, general information on the presentation of Facebook ads, in the data usage policy of Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. For specific information and details about the Facebook pixel and how it works, see the Facebook Help section:  https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616. You may object to the collection by the Facebook pixel and the use of your data to display Facebook ads. To set what types of ads you see within Facebook, you can go to the page facebook-set up and follow the usage-based advertising settings:  https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads. The settings are platform-independent, i.e. they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.

You may also object to the use of cookies for the purpose of measuring reach and advertising purposes via the deactivation page of the network advertising initiative (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/) and additionally the US website (http://www.aboutads.info/choices) or the European website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/).
