Mode of operation	The “Google Analytics” web analysis service uses technologies such as “cookies”, “tracking pixels” and “device fingerprinting” in order to gain an understanding of certain user behaviour on websites. This will also involve the processing of information which is stored on users’ terminals. Drawing upon the “tracking pixels” incorporated in websites, together with the “cookies” deposited on users’ terminals, “Google” will process the generated information concerning the utilisation of our website by users’ terminals – assuming that a given website is accessed – together with access data for purposes of statistical analysis of website use. The access data will include, in particular, the IP address, browser information, the previously visited website and the date and time of the server request. “Google Analytics” is used with the extension “anonymizeIp()”. Accordingly, IP addresses are further processed in order to make it substantially difficult to identify any individuals. According to information from “Google”, IP addresses are pre-abbreviated within European Union member states. Third-party country transfer: Consent for Google Analytics also includes consent for the possibility of the data being transferred to the USA without a reasonable level of data protection and without adequate guarantees (lack of enforceability of data subjects’ rights, lack of legal protection options and the possibility of disproportionate intervention with users’ data by governmental sources). The utilisation of Google Analytics presupposes third-party country transfer. If you do not wish to approve third-party country transfer, then you will need to deselect Google Analytics

Name	Google Ads
Recipient	Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001)
Lifetime	1 Year
Mode of operation	The “Google Ads” marketing tool employs technologies such as “cookies”, “tracking pixels” and “device fingerprinting” in order to display advertisements relevant to users, and in order to improve reporting on the performance achieved by campaigns. Using “Google Ads”, advertisements relevant to established interests can be faded in with search results. This will also involve the processing of information which is stored on users’ terminals. The “Google Ads” online advertising tool is utilised, with the “dynamic remarketing” function. This is a procedure by means of which users can be re-targeted. The “dynamic remarketing” function can be used in order to recognise website users from other websites within the “Google” advertising network (in “Google” search or on “YouTube”, “Google Ads” or on other websites) and in order to present them with advertisements tailored to their interests. Such advertisements may also relate to products and services which users have already seen on our website. To that end, there is analysis of users’ interactions with our website, in order to determine, for example, which offers are interesting for users, and in order to make it possible to present targeted advertising to users on other webpages, i.e. after they have completed their visit to our own website. Where users visit our website, a “cookie” will be stored by “Google Ads” on users’ terminals. Using “cookies” and “tracking pixels”, “Google” processes the information generated by users’ terminals, indicating how our website has been used and indicating interactions with our own website together with the access data with particular reference to the IP address, browser details, the website previously visited together with the date and time of the server request, for purposes of fading in and analysing personalised advertisements. “Google Ads” is also used – by way of the “conversion” function – using advertising media (formerly: “Google AdWords”) on external websites in order to draw attention to our attractive offers. By consulting the details gathered from advertising campaigns, we can draw conclusions as to how successful individual advertising measures have been. These advertising measures are supplied by “Google” by way of “ad servers”. For that purpose, we employ “ad server cookies” by means of which it is possible to gauge certain parameters affecting reach measurement – for example: the fading-in of advertisements, the user’s viewing period or clicks applied. This will also involve the processing of information which is stored on users’ terminals. Where users visit our website by way of having selected a “Google” advertisement, a “cookie” will be stored by “Google Ads” on users’ terminals. By means of “cookies” and “tracking pixels”, “Google” processes the information generated from the user’s terminal, referring to interactions with our own advertising media (calling up a given Internet page or clicking on a promotion/advertisement) and users’ access data – with particular reference to the IP address, browser details, the previously visited website and the date and time of the server request – in order to analyse and to display our advertisements’ reach measurement. Corresponding to the marketing tool employed, the user’s browser will automatically set up a direct connection with Google’s server. Where users are registered with a “Google” service, “Google” is able to attribute the visit to the corresponding user account. Third-party country transfer: Consent for Google Ads also includes consent for the possibility of the data being transferred to the USA without a reasonable level of data protection and without adequate guarantees (lack of enforceability of data subjects’ rights, lack of legal protection options and the possibility of disproportionate intervention with users’ data by governmental sources). The utilisation of Google Ads presupposes third-party country transfer. If you do not wish to approve third-party country transfer, then you will need to deselect Google Ads.

By this means, users of the website and users of “Facebook” belonging to a comparable target group can receive relevant advertisements (“Facebook ads”) when they are visiting the “Facebook” and “Instagram” social networks. By consulting the details gathered from advertising campaigns, we can – furthermore – draw conclusions as to how successful individual advertising measures have been. In the process of presenting advertising media, we are sent certain reach-measurement parameters, such as: the fading-in of advertisements, duration of viewing or clicks on the part of users and visits to our website’s subsidiary pages. Using the “Facebook pixels” (these are small graphics which are also incorporated on our website and which are automatically loaded on board when our website is selected, and which enable tracking of user behaviour), the user’s browser will automatically set up a direct connection with Facebook’s server. By incorporating the “Facebook pixel”, “Facebook” uses the information generated by “cookies”, concerning the utilisation of our website by users’ terminals – where a given website was selected, for example – and conducts the processing of access data with particular reference to your IP address, browser information, the previously visited website, the “Facebook ID” together with the date and time of the server request, for purposes of fading in personalised advertisements. Where users are registered with a “Facebook” service, “Facebook” is also able to attribute the collected information to the user’s corresponding “Facebook account”. Third-party country transfer: Consent for Facebook Custom Audiences also includes consent for the possibility of the data being transferred to the USA without a reasonable level of data protection and without adequate guarantees (lack of enforceability of data subjects’ rights, lack of legal protection options and the possibility of disproportionate intervention with users’ data by governmental sources).

Name	LinkedIn Ads (Retargeting)
Recipient	LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland
Lifetime	1 Year
Mode of operation	On our website, we use the “LinkedIn Ads” retargeting function belonging to LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company (Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland; hereinafter referred to as: LinkedIn). In this connection, LinkedIn will have particular recourse to the information generated by cookies, tracking pixels and fingerprinting methods and concerning how our website is used by your terminal, in order to draw conclusions about a given instance of user behaviour on our website. In this context, furthermore, there is also processing of the information which is stored on users’ terminals, particularly including: IP addresses, browser information, log-on data, information concerning the employed operating system and further details about your terminal. By this means, it is possible for users of our website and users of LinkedIn who belong to a defined target group to be specifically addressed – when they visit the LinkedIn social network – with advertisements relevant to their interests (“LinkedIn ads”). Using LinkedIn’s employed tracking technologies, your browser will automatically set up a direct connection with LinkedIn’s servers. If you are signed up for a LinkedIn service, LinkedIn is able to attribute the logged information to your user account. Even if you do not have a user account with LinkedIn, and even if you are not logged onto it, it is possible for LinkedIn specifically to gain knowledge of your IP address and further identification characteristics, and to process the same. In this connection, we do not carry out any personally-related identification of the respective users. We use the “LinkedIn ads” conversion function for that purpose. To the extent that you reach our website by way of a LinkedIn advertisement, LinkedIn will deposit a cookie on your terminal or in your browser in order to gauge the reach of our advertisements, in order to enable the attribution of a given advertising medium’s success and in order to achieve continuous improvement of our advertisements. Using cookies, LinkedIn will process the information generated by your terminal, concerning interactions with our advertising media (e.g. the calling-up of a given Internet page or a click on an advertising medium) such as: your IP address, device and browser details, referrer URL and time stamps for purposes of gauging our advertisements’ reach and performance, in which process LinkedIn will apply an abbreviation of the IP addresses. By means of using LinkedIn’s conversion tracking functions, we are able, in particular, to determine the extent to which the advertisements which we have inserted may have given rise to related actions on our website. To that end, your browser automatically sets up a direct connection with LinkedIn’s server. If you are logged in to a LinkedIn service, LinkedIn is able to attribute the logged information – particularly the details of your visit to our website – to your user account. Even if you do not have a user account with LinkedIn, and even if you are not logged onto it, it is possible for LinkedIn specifically to gain knowledge of your IP address and further identification characteristics, and to process the same. In the process of analysis, LinkedIn does not share any personal data with ourselves, but only sends us statistical analyses of the success of our advertising media. As the result, we learn – in the form of statistics – of the extent to which our advertisements as faded in on LinkedIn have been successful and have led to related actions on our website. In this context, furthermore, we receive statistical analyses as to which categories of persons (e.g. those belonging to a given profession, company or field) have carried out actions. On that basis, we can specify our target categories and improve the alignment of our advertising media. Third-party country transfer: Consent for LinkedIn also includes consent for the possibility of the data being transferred to the USA without a reasonable level of data protection and without adequate guarantees (lack of enforceability of data subjects’ rights, lack of legal protection options and the possibility of disproportionate intervention with users’ data by governmental sources). The utilisation of LinkedIn Ads presupposes third-party country transfer. If you do not wish to approve third-party country transfer, then you will need to deselect LinkedIn Ads.

Lifetime	1 Year
Mode of operation	On our website, we have incorporated Google’s “Google Maps” external map service. “Google Maps” enables user-friendly use of the map functions on our website. Where the map function is employed, there is also processing of in-formation as stored on users’ terminals. The visit to the website will enable “Google” to acquire confirmation that users have selected the corresponding subsidiary page of our website. Furthermore, the access data – such as the IP address, browser information, the previously visited website and the date and time of the server request – will be forwarded to “Google”. This takes place ir-respective of whether “Google” has provided a user account by means of which the user is logged on, and irrespective of whether there is no user account, at all. If users are logged on to “Google”, then the user data is directly attributed to the respective Google account. “Google” will place the corresponding utilisa-tion data in store as utilisation profiles and will process the data for its own statistical analysis and online advertising purposes, irrespective of whether or not there is a “Google” user account in place. Third-party country transfer: Consent for Google Maps also includes consent for the possibility of the data being transferred to the USA without a reasonable level of data protection and without adequate guarantees (lack of enforceability of data subjects’ rights, lack of legal protection options and the possibility of disproportionate intervention with users’ data by governmental sources).

Furthermore, the access data – especially the IP address, browser information, the previous-ly visited website and the date and time of the server request – will be for-warded to “Google”. This takes place irrespective of whether “YouTube” has provided a user account by means of which the user is logged on, and irrespec-tive of whether there is no user account at all. When users are logged on to “Google”, the user details are directly attributed to the corresponding YouTube account. “YouTube” stores the data as utilisation profiles and will process this data – for purposes of statistical analysis and advertising – irrespective of whether there is a “Google” user account in place. Third-party country transfer: Consent for YouTube also includes consent for the possibility of the data being transferred to the USA without a reasonable level of data protection and without adequate guarantees (lack of enforceability of data subjects’ rights, lack of legal protection options and the possibility of disproportionate intervention with users’ data by governmental sources).
