° Use of the Facebook Pixel (Facebook Custom Audiences):

Furthermore, we use the so-called "Facebook Pixel" from Facebook Inc. ("Facebook") on our website. This allows interest-based advertisements ("Facebook Ads") to be displayed to users of our website when they visit the social network Facebook or other websites that also use this procedure. Through the Facebook Pixel, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Facebook server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Facebook through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge: By integrating the Facebook Pixel, Facebook receives the information that you have clicked on one of our ads or accessed the corresponding page of our website. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will learn and store your IP address and other identification features.

The purpose of using the Facebook Pixel is to ensure that our Facebook Ads are displayed only to Facebook users who have shown an interest in our online offerings. With the help of the Facebook Pixel, we want to ensure that our Facebook Ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and do not have a harassing effect. Furthermore, with the help of the Facebook Pixel, we can track the effectiveness of Facebook Ads for statistical purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook Ad. The legal basis for the use of the Facebook Pixel is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

You can object to the use of the Facebook Pixel at any time by using the opt-out option.
