On the other hand, the “Meta Pixel” can be used to track whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an advertisement and which actions they perform there (so-called “conversion tracking”).
The collected data is anonymous and does not provide us with any information about the user’s identity. However, 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.

14.4 Google reCAPTCHA
On this website we use the CAPTCHA service of the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland
Data may also be transmitted to: Google LLC, USA.
For the visual design of the Captcha window, the provider uses “Google Fonts,” i.e., fonts downloaded from the Internet by Google. No further information beyond that mentioned above, which is already transmitted to Google via the ReCaptcha functionality, is processed in this case.
The service checks whether an input has been made by a natural person or has been abusively processed by machine or automated means, and blocks spam, DDoS attacks, and similar automated malicious access. To ensure that an action is performed by a human and not an automated bot, the provider collects the IP address of the device used, identification data of the browser and operating system type used, as well as the date and duration of the visit, and transmits this data to the provider’s servers for analysis. Cookies, i.e. small text files stored in the browser of the device, may be used for this purpose.
If the processing described above is based on cookies, these will only be set if you have given us your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1). (1) point f GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.
If the processing described above is carried out without the use of cookies, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in determining individual responsibility on the Internet and avoiding misuse and spam in accordance with Art. 6 (1). (1) point f GDPR.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

15) Tools and Other
Cookie-Consent-Tool
This website uses a so-called “cookie consent tool” to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The “Cookie Consent Tool” is displayed to users when they visit the site in the form of an interactive user interface, where they can give their consent for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications by checking the appropriate boxes. Using the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user provides the corresponding consent by ticking the corresponding box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the respective end device of the user if consent has been granted.
The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed.
f, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point GDPR based on our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.
Further legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) point c GDPR. As the responsible party, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.
Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our site visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
Further information on the operator and the setting options of the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.
