§ 8 Online advertising
DoubleClick by Google
(1) This website continues to use the online marketing tool DoubleClick by Google. DoubleClick uses cookies to serve ads relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed more than once. In addition, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later uses the same browser to go to the advertiser's website and buy something there. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information. By using this tool, we are interested in showing you advertising that is of interest to you, increasing the attractiveness of our website for you and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs. The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR.
(2) Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to 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 are therefore informing you according to our current level of knowledge: Through the integration of DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or clicked on one of our advertisements. 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 and save your IP address.
(3) You can prevent participation in this tracking process in various ways:
a) by setting your browser software accordingly, in particular the suppression of third-party cookies means that you will not receive any advertisements from third-party providers,
b) by deactivating cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser so that cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com" are blocked, https://www.google.de/settings/ads, whereby this setting deleted when you delete your cookies,
c) by deactivating the interest-based ads of the providers who are part of the self-regulatory campaign "About Ads" via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, whereby this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies,
d) by permanent deactivation in your browsers Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome 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 offer to their full extent.
Alternatively, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) website at http://www.networkadvertising.org.

§ 9 Hubspot
We have integrated the service of Hubspot for marketing activities on our website. Hubspot Inc. is a service provider from the USA with a branch in Ireland (Hubspot Ireland Limited in 2nd Floor 30 North Wall Quay, Dublin 1, Ireland).
We use the software solution for our own marketing, lead generation and customer service. This includes email marketing, which handles the sending of newsletters as well as automated mailings, social media publishing and reporting, contact management such as user segmentation and CRM, landing pages and contact forms.
Hubspot uses cookies, which are small text files that are stored locally in the cache of your web browser on your terminal device and enable an analysis of your use of the website by us. Hubspot analyzes the information collected (e.g., IP address, geographic location, browser type, length of visit, and pages viewed) on our behalf so that we can generate reports about the visit and the pages viewed.
Information collected by Hubspot and the content of our website is stored on servers of Hubspot's service providers.
Insofar as you have given your consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO, the processing takes place on this website for the purpose of website analysis.
Since a transfer of personal data to the USA takes place, further protection mechanisms are required to ensure the level of data protection of the DSGVO. To ensure this, we have agreed standard data protection clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 (2) c) DSGVO. These oblige the recipient of the data in the USA to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe. In cases where this cannot be ensured even by this contractual extension, we endeavor to obtain additional regulations and commitments from the recipient in the USA.
You can object to the processing of your personal data at any time with effect for the future.
