We use Facebook Pixel, a tool operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA ("Facebook"), on our website for the analysis, optimization and economic operation of the website. With the help of Facebook Pixel, Facebook is able to determine the visitors of our website as a target group for the display of Facebook ads. Accordingly, we use Facebook Pixel to display the Facebook ads we post only to Facebook users who have shown an interest in our website. This means that with the help of Facebook Pixel we want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and are not annoying. We can also use Facebook Pixel to track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users have been redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called "conversion" or "visitor interaction").

Facebook Pixel is deployed by Facebook directly when you visit our website and can store a cookie on your device. If you then log in to Facebook or visit Facebook while being logged in, the visit to our website will be recorded in your profile. The data collected about you is anonymous to us, it does not provide us with any information about the user’s identity. However, Facebook stores and processes the data so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible. This means that user profiles can be created from the processed data. Facebook processes the data in accordance with Facebook's Privacy Policy. You can find more information on how Facebook Pixel works and in general on how Facebook ads are displayed in Facebook's Privacy Policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy.

Furthermore, when using Facebook Pixel, we use the additional function "Advanced Matching". Here, data for the formation of target groups ("Custom Audiences" or "Look Alike Audiences") is transmitted to Facebook in encrypted form. This data is information that we collect via our website such as name, email address, etc., including information from non-Facebook users who are not logged in to a Facebook account while visiting our website.

You may opt out of Facebook Pixel and the collection and use of your information to display Facebook ads. To configure what types of ads you see within Facebook, you can go to the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions on the settings for usage-based ads: 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.
