If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie in your Internet browser under User Settings.

1. Facebook

Our website integrates the plug-in of the social network “facebook.com”, operated by Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). You can recognize the Facebook plugins by the Facebook logo and the “Like” button. When you visit a website that contains such a plugin, your browser connects directly to the Facebook server. Facebook then transmits the content of the plugin to your browser, which in turn integrates the plugin into the website. In this way, Facebook receives information that a user with a specific IP address, namely the IP address assigned to your Internet access at the time of transmission, has visited the corresponding website. If you are logged into your Facebook account at the same time, Facebook can assign your visit to your Facebook account even if you do not click the “Like” button. If you use the plugin by clicking on the “Like” button, your browser will also send it to Facebook and save it there. If you do not want Facebook to collect information through our website and associate it with your Facebook account, please log out of Facebook before visiting our website.
