We use technologies such as cookies, pixels, and tags on our website. These are used to store data in your device’s browser, read it out, and subsequently process it. For this processing, we use services and content from NUMBER providers.
Services in this category may use cookies and similar technologies to store and access information on your device. We use these in order to:
enable the display of the website and provide its basic functions, especially page navigation and access to secure areas,
allow the granting and withdrawal of consent,
protect our forms from abusive entries,
safeguard our website from cyberattacks and fraud attempts, and
enable the presentation of the website.
Some of the cookies and similar technologies used only contain information about specific settings and are not personally identifiable. We do not use them for the purpose of tracking your interactions, measuring or statistically analyzing usage, or for advertising purposes.
The use of these services and the related cookies or similar technologies in this category is based on § 25 (2) Nos. 1 and 2 of the TDDDG (German Telecommunications-Telemedia Data Protection Act). Any subsequent data processing is based on Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).
Services or external content and media from third-party providers in this category may use cookies and similar technologies to store and access information on your device. We use these in order to:
make our websites appealing and operate them efficiently, and
provide you with certain settings and additional website functions.
The use of these services, including the related cookies and similar technologies in this category, is based on your consent in accordance with § 25 (1) of the TDDDG (German Telecommunications-Telemedia Data Protection Act). Any subsequent data processing is carried out based on your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).
The technical storage or access, which is carried out exclusively for statistical purposes.
Services in this category may use cookies and similar technologies to store and read information on your device. We use these in order to:
count and distinguish you as an individual website visitor and to create statistical analyses of your interactions and usage of our websites,
tailor our websites to your needs and adapt them to user interactions,
test modifications on the website and measure users’ reactions to them (A/B testing), and
monitor the technical functionality of our website and enable error correction.
For this purpose, individual pseudonymous identifiers (recognition features) consisting of numbers and letters are regularly stored in cookies on your device when you visit our website and are read again on subsequent visits.
By using pseudonyms, it is possible to distinguish and recognize users individually. However, the natural person behind a pseudonym cannot usually be directly identified—especially not by name—without additional data.
Other technologies may also be used regularly to read recognition features from your device, such as browser or device fingerprinting. In this process, data from your browser (e.g., type and version), its configuration (e.g., preferred language), your device (e.g., manufacturer and model of your smartphone, operating system), or the hardware you use (e.g., screen resolution) are used to pseudonymously recognize you as a distinct user.
The use of services and related cookies and similar technologies in this category is based on your consent in accordance with § 25 para. 1 TDDDG. Any further data processing is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.
Services in this category may use cookies and similar technologies to store and access information on your device. We use these in order to:
count and distinguish you as an individual website visitor and generate statistical analyses of your interactions and usage of our websites,
track your interactions with advertisements we place through third-party providers on other websites across different devices and platforms (so-called conversion tracking),
analyze and evaluate your interactions with our website and then use this data as the basis for targeted advertising campaigns directed at you or a specific audience group to which you belong (so-called retargeting and remarketing),
improve the effectiveness of our advertising efforts and manage our ad campaigns.
To this end, we and the services we use regularly store individual pseudonymous identifiers—consisting of numbers and letters—on your device via cookies when you visit our site or another website. These identifiers are read again on your return visit to the same or another website.
Additional technologies may also be used to extract identifying features from your device—such as browser or device fingerprinting. This involves collecting information about your browser (e.g., type and version), configuration (e.g., preferred language), device characteristics (e.g., make and model of your phone, operating system), or hardware details (e.g., screen resolution) to recognize you as a distinct user in a pseudonymous way.
Where applicable, these pseudonymous identifiers processed by us or our service providers may be combined with other data. This allows services and their providers to exchange and match identifiers (IDs) with each other to recognize the same pseudonymous user across different systems (so-called ID matching or ID syncing). This enables cross-device, cross-platform, and cross-network recognition and targeting of website visitors.
If you provide identifiable information such as your name or email address, or log into social networks or online services from third-party providers that also offer tracking and advertising services, these pseudonymous identifiers can also be linked to your personal data or user account. This enables us or the service providers to create comprehensive user profiles—pseudonymous or non-pseudonymous—which can then be used for interest-based targeted advertising.
The use of these services, including cookies and similar technologies in this category, is based on your consent in accordance with § 25 (1) TDDDG. Any subsequent data processing is based on your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a of the GDPR.
