Use of Facebook Pixel and Facebook Custom Audiences 
On our website, the so-called Facebook pixel of the company Facebook (Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland) is used. This classifies visitors to our website into specific target groups for the purpose of controlling advertising on Facebook. The data collected (e.g. IP addresses, web browser info, location data, buttons clicked, pixel IDs if applicable and additional characteristics) is not visible to us, it is only used in the context of displaying certain advertisements. Using the Facebook pixel code, so-called cookies are set. In the circumstance that you have a Facebook account and are logged in, the website visit is assigned to the logged-in Facebook user account. We also use Facebook's Custom Audiences remarketing function. This allows Facebook ads to be placed personalized The purpose of this is to improve the user experience by only displaying ads that are of interest to you. For data exchange, your browser automatically establishes a connection with Facebook servers. We then no longer have any influence over the scope and further use of the data. Facebook is responsible for further data processing. With the use of Facebook Custom Audiences, Facebook receives the information that you have visited a corresponding web page of our website or viewed an ad from us. With your registration with Facebook, your visit can be assigned to your account. In the event that you are not registered with Facebook or are not logged in, the provider can obtain and store your IP address and other identifying features. We use these functions to provide you with advertising offers that correspond to your interests. Your data is processed because you have consented to it or we can prove a legitimate interest in processing the data (according to GDPR). We store your data as long as we need it for the respective purpose (display of interest-based advertising) or you have not objected to the storage of your data or revoked your consent. You can deactivate the "Facebook Custom Audiences" function at www.facebook.com/settings/. You can find your ad settings under Facebook at www.facebook.com/help/109378269482053/, provided you are logged into Facebook.
