Google Ads Conversion Tracking

We use Google Ads to display advertisements to you on Google and other third party websites. Google Ads is a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Ltd, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).

With conversion tracking, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. The purpose of this is to show you advertising that is of interest to you and to make our website more interesting for you. The advertising is delivered by Google via so-called “ad servers”. We use cookies for this purpose, which can be used to measure certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of the ads or clicks by users. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Adwords will store a cookie on your PC. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally.

These cookies enable Google to recognise your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of the website of an Adwords customer and the cookie stored on his computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. A different cookie is assigned to each Adwords customer. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the website of Adwords customers.

Scalable Central Measuring Method (SZM)

Some of our websites use the measurement procedure (“SZMnG”) of INFOnline GmbH (https://www.INFOnline.de) to determine statistical characteristic values about the use of our offers. The aim of the usage measurement is to statistically determine the number of visits to our websites, the number of website visitors and their surfing behaviour – on the basis of a uniform standard procedure – and thus to obtain values that are comparable across the market.

For all digital offerings that are members of the Informationsgemeinschaft zur Feststellung der Verbreitung von Werbeträgern e.V. (IVW – http://www.ivw.eu) or participate in the studies of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Online-Forschung e.V. (AGOF – http://www.agof.de), the usage statistics are regularly processed further by the AGOF and the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Media-Analyse e.V. (agma – http://www.agma-mmc.de) into reach figures and published with the performance value “Unique User” as well as by the IVW with the performance values “Page Impression” and “Visits”. These ranges and statistics can be viewed on the respective websites.

Legal basis for the processing

The measurement by means of the SZMnG measurement method by INFOnline GmbH is carried out with a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

The purpose of the processing of personal data is the creation of statistics and the formation of user categories. The statistics are used to track and document the use of our offer. The user categories form the basis for the interest-based targeting of advertising media and advertising measures. For the marketing of this website, it is essential to measure usage, which ensures comparability with other market participants. Our legitimate interest results from the economic usability of the findings resulting from the statistics and user categories and the market value of our website – also in direct comparison with third-party websites – which can be determined on the basis of the statistics.

Furthermore, we have a legitimate interest in making the pseudonymised data available to INFOnline, AGOF and IVW for the purpose of market research (AGOF, agma) and for statistical purposes (INFOnline, IVW). Furthermore, we have a legitimate interest in making the pseudonymised data available to INFOnline for the further development and provision of interest-based advertising media.

Type of data

INFOnline GmbH collects the following data, which is personal data according to the GDPR:

IP address: On the internet, every device needs a unique address, the so-called IP address, to transmit data. The storage of the IP address, at least for a short time, is technically necessary due to the way the internet works. The IP addresses are shortened by 1 byte before any processing and are only processed anonymously. Untruncated IP addresses are not stored or further processed.
A randomly generated client identifier: Range processing alternatively uses either a third-party cookie, a first-party cookie, a “local storage object” or a signature created from various automatically transmitted information from your browser to recognise computer systems. This identifier is unique to a browser as long as the cookie or local storage object is not deleted. Measurement of the data and subsequent assignment to the respective client identifier is therefore also possible if you call up other websites that also use the measurement procedure (“SZMnG”) of INFOnline GmbH.

The validity of the cookie is limited to a maximum of 1 year.

Use of the data

The INFOnline GmbH measurement procedure used on this website determines usage data. This is done in order to collect the performance values page impressions, visits and clients and to form further key figures from them (e.g. qualified clients). In addition, the measured data is used as follows:

A so-called geolocation, i.e. the assignment of a website call to the location of the call, takes place exclusively on the basis of the anonymised IP address and only up to the geographical level of the federal states / regions. Under no circumstances can the geographical information obtained in this way be used to draw conclusions about the specific location of a user.
The usage data of a technical client (e.g. a browser on a device) are combined across all websites and stored in a database. This information is used for the technical estimation of the socio-information age and gender and transferred to AGOF’s service providers for further coverage processing. Within the scope of the AGOF study, socio characteristics are technically estimated on the basis of a random sample, which can be assigned to the following categories: Age, gender, nationality, occupation, marital status, general household information, household income, place of residence, internet use, online interests, place of use, user type.

Storage period of the data

The full IP address is not stored by INFOnline GmbH. The shortened IP address is stored for a maximum of 60 days. The usage data in connection with the unique identifier are stored for a maximum of 6 months.

Passing on the data

The IP address as well as the shortened IP address are not passed on. For the preparation of the AGOF study, data with client identifiers are passed on to the following AGOF service providers:

Kantar Germany GmbH (https://www.tns-infratest.com/)
Ankordata GmbH & Co KG (http://www.ankordata.de/homepage/)
Interrogare GmbH (https://www.interrogare.de/)

If you do not wish to participate in the measurement, you can object under the following link: https://optout.ioam.de To guarantee exclusion from the measurement, it is technically necessary to set a cookie. Should you delete the cookies in your browser, it is necessary to repeat the opt-out process under the above link.

Further information on data protection in the measurement procedure can be found on the website of INFOnline GmbH (https://www.infonline.de), which operates the measurement procedure, the data protection website of AGOF (http://www.agof.de/datenschutz) and the data protection website of IVW (http://www.ivw.eu).

Legal basis for the processing

The measurement by means of the SZMnG measurement method by INFOnline GmbH is carried out with a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

The purpose of the processing of personal data is the creation of statistics and the formation of user categories. The statistics are used to track and document the use of our offer. The user categories form the basis for the interest-based targeting of advertising media and advertising measures. For the marketing of this website, it is essential to measure usage in order to ensure comparability with other market participants. Our legitimate interest results from the economic usability of the findings resulting from the statistics and user categories and the market value of our website – also in direct comparison with third-party websites – which can be determined on the basis of the statistics.

Type of data

INFOnline GmbH collects the following data, which is personal data according to the GDPR:

IP address: On the internet, every device needs a unique address, the so-called IP address, to transmit data. The storage of the IP address, at least for a short time, is technically necessary due to the way the internet works. The IP addresses are shortened by 1 byte before any processing and are only processed anonymously. Untruncated IP addresses are not stored or further processed.
A randomly generated client identifier: Range processing alternatively uses either a third-party cookie, a first-party cookie, a “local storage object” or a signature created from various automatically transmitted information from your browser to recognise computer systems. This identifier is unique to a browser as long as the cookie or local storage object is not deleted. Measurement of the data and subsequent assignment to the respective client identifier is therefore also possible if you call up other websites that also use the measurement procedure (“SZMnG”) of INFOnline GmbH.

The validity of the cookie is limited to a maximum of 1 year.

Use of the data

A so-called geolocation, i.e. the assignment of a website call to the location of the call, takes place exclusively on the basis of the anonymised IP address and only up to the geographical level of the federal states / regions. Under no circumstances can the geographical information obtained in this way be used to draw conclusions about the specific location of a user.
The usage data of a technical client (e.g. a browser on a device) are combined across all websites and stored in a database. This information is used for the technical estimation of the socio-information age and gender and transferred to AGOF’s service providers for further coverage processing. Within the scope of the AGOF study, socio characteristics are technically estimated on the basis of a random sample, which can be assigned to the following categories: Age, gender, nationality, occupation, marital status, general household information, household income, place of residence, internet use, online interests, place of use, user type.

Storage period of the data

Passing on the data

The IP address as well as the shortened IP address are not passed on. For the preparation of the AGOF study, data with client identifiers are passed on to the following AGOF service providers:

Kantar Germany GmbH (https://www.tns-infratest.com/)
Ankordata GmbH & Co KG (http://www.ankordata.de/homepage/)
Interrogare GmbH (https://www.interrogare.de/)
