These cookies have a limited validity period, contain no personal data, and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. This means that cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers.
The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. We use the advanced consent mode. Even if consent is not given, user data is transmitted to Google in the form of “pings.” These pings can contain, among other things, the following information: IP address to derive the IP country (the IP address is not logged), date and time of the page visit, URL of the pages visited, user agent, referrer URL (website from which our website was accessed), or information about the triggering of website events such as a conversion. Google uses this information to model user data in order to be able to carry out a comprehensive usage analysis despite the refusal of consent.
Your data may be transferred to Google LLC's servers in the USA. For the USA, the EU Commission has issued an adequacy decision, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Google has certified itself according to the TADPF and is thus committed to complying with European data protection principles.

When you click the buttons, a pop-up window appears where you can log in to the respective provider using your data. Only after you actively log in will a direct connection to the social networks be established.
By logging in, you consent to the transfer of your data to the respective social media provider. This includes, among other things, your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited. If you are connected to one or more of your social network accounts at the same time, the collected information will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons. The social networks listed below are integrated using the "Shariff" function.
