The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics. Here we find out 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.

Plug-ins and others

Decify
We use the web analysis service Decify on our website or parts of our website to collect so-called zero-party data, i.e. information that is explicitly and voluntarily provided by our website visitors. Decify is a web analysis service provided by Decify GmbH in Munich, Germany. Decify GmbH acts for us as a data processor on the basis of a data processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. Decify enables an analysis of the perception and use of the website by its visitors, as well as their preferences, intentions, and more. Decify collects data from surveys and user interviews and also user interactions, such as starting and submitting a survey, as well as browser and device information, such as the visitor's IP address, device type, screen resolution, user agent configuration (user agent string) and language setting. In addition, e-mail addresses and order numbers are transmitted. The data collected is used to evaluate and optimize the website and advertising/marketing measures. In addition, website visitors are assigned a "universally unique identifier" (UUID), which Decify can use to identify returning users of our website - without linking them to their personal data. The UUID is used, for example, to prevent a survey from being shown to the same website visitor more than once. Personal data may be transferred to third countries that do not offer an adequate level of data protection. In this case, it is ensured that appropriate safeguards are provided for such a transfer to ensure an adequate level of data protection. We will provide proof of these appropriate safeguards on request. The legal basis for the use of Decify is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR in a needs-based design of the website and in the evaluation and optimization of our marketing measures.
