Within our online offer we use the "Facebook Pixel" service of the following provider in the mode of extended data comparison: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quare, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook")
If a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us on Facebook, the URL of our linked page is extended by a parameter with the help of "Facebook Pixel".

In addition, this cookie collects specific customer data such as the e-mail address that we collect on our website linked to the Facebook ad during transactions such as completing a purchase, logging into an account or registering (extended data matching). The cookie is then read and enables the data, including specific customer data, to be transmitted to Facebook.

In addition, we analyze the effectiveness of our advertisements by tracking whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an advertisement (conversion). Compared to the standard "Facebook Pixel" variant, the advanced data matching feature helps us to better measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by recording more attributed conversions.
All transmitted data is stored and processed by Facebook, so that an assignment to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook uses the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Facebook's data usage guidelines ( https://www.facebook.com /about /privacy / ) can use. The data can enable Facebook and its partners to place ads on and outside of Facebook.
