4. google adwords
We use Google Adwords to draw attention to our services on external websites with the help of advertising material (so-called Google Adwords). We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the advertising campaign data. We do this in order to show you advertising that is of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.
These advertising materials are delivered by Google via so-called “ad servers”. For this purpose, we use ad server cookies, through which certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of ads or clicks by users, can be measured. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Adwords will store a cookie on your PC. These cookies generally lose their validity after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally. The unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values for this cookie.
These cookies enable Google to recognize your Internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of an Adwords customer’s website and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. A different cookie is assigned to each Adwords customer. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Adwords customers. We ourselves do not collect and process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. Based on these evaluations, we can recognize which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising media; in particular, we cannot identify users on the basis of this information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our level of knowledge: Through the integration of AdWords Conversion, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will find out your IP address and store it.
You can prevent participation in this tracking process in various ways:
a) By setting your browser software accordingly, in particular by suppressing third-party cookies, you will not receive any ads from third-party providers;
b) By deactivating cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser so that cookies from the domain https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated are blocked, https://www.google.de/settings/adswhereby this setting is deleted when you delete your cookies;
c) By deactivating the interest-based ads of providers that are part of the “About Ads” self-regulation campaign via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choiceswhereby this setting is deleted when you delete your cookies;
d) By permanently deactivating it in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers under the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.

6. Dealfront – Leadfeeder
Our website uses the technologies of Dealfront (Liidio Oy as part of Dealfront Group GmbH) to analyze visitor behavior.
In this process, the IP address of a visitor is processed.
This processing has the purpose of helping us understand which businesses (B2B) are visiting our site, by enriching IPs with associated information such as the company name or industry code.
To do this, at the beginning of the visitor’s session, their IP address and corresponding session data is matched against a large whitelist of known companies.
Optional (depending on customer’s choice): To increase data protection of our visitors we have turned on “IP address anonymisation”, so that only shortened values instead of the actual IP addresses will be stored. If the feature is on, we will not store the actual IP address anywhere in our systems, including logs. This anonymisation makes it impossible to connect outside IP address information later, preventing identification of an individual person.
Optional (depending on customer’s choice): As part of this processing, first party cookies are used in order to analyze visitor behavior.
Whenever we process website traffic data, this is based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR) in optimizing our products, services, sales and marketing.
To prevent this processing activity, you (website visitor) may install and configure appropriate ad-blockers or use no-script-plugins in your browser.
