Our website uses the visitor action pixel from Meta ('Meta Pixel') to measure conversions. The data processing is carried out by: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA.

With the help of the Facebook pixel, the behaviour of site visitors can be tracked after they visit our website. This allows the effectiveness of Meta advertisements to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimised. Meta receives the following categories of data: the referral URL, browser information and the person's Facebook user ID if they have a Facebook account and are logged in to Facebook.

The data is stored and processed by Meta so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Meta Data Usage Policy. This enables Meta to place adverts on Meta pages and outside Meta. This use of the data cannot be influenced by us as the site operator.

We have also activated automatic advanced matching as part of the Facebook pixel function. This function of the pixel enables us to send additional personal information about you to Facebook if you have provided us with this data and given your consent. This activation enables us to customise advertising campaigns on Facebook even more precisely to people who are interested in our services or products.
