On the one hand, this makes it possible for Facebook to determine the visitors to our online offering as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called “Facebook Ads”). Accordingly, we use the service to only show the Facebook ads we place to those Facebook users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products), which are determined based on the websites visited which we transmit to Facebook (so-called “Custom Audiences”).

On the other hand, “Facebook Pixel” can be used to track whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad and what actions they took there (so-called “conversion tracking”).

The data collected is anonymous to us, so it does not allow us to draw any conclusions about the identity of the user. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies to read information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service in the “cookie consent tool” provided on the website.
