9.1 Instagram as Standard Plugin
Our website uses so-called social plugins ("plugins") of the Instagram online service
operated by Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Rd, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA ("Instagram").
The plug-ins are labeled with an Instagram logo, for example in the form of an "Instagram camera". An overview of the Instagram plugins and their appearance can be
found at: http://blog.instagram.com/post/36222022872/introducing-instagram-badges.
When you access a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser
establishes a direct connection to Instagram's servers. Instagram transfers the content
of the plugin directly to your browser and integrates it into the page. This integration
informs Instagram that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our
website, even if you do not have an Instagram profile or are not currently logged in to
Instagram. This information (including your IP address) is directly transmitted from your
browser to an Instagram server in the USA and stored there.
If you are logged in to Instagram, Instagram can immediately associate your visit to our
website with your Instagram account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by
pressing the "Instagram Camera" button, this information is also directly transmitted to
an Instagram server and stored there. The information is also published on your
Instagram account and signaled to your contacts.
The described data processing processes are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1)
point f GDPR, on the basis of Instagram's legitimate interests in the insertion of
personalized advertising for the purpose of informing other users of the social network
about your activities on our website and for the purpose of demand-oriented design of
the service.
If you do not want Instagram to associate the information collected through our website
directly with your Instagram account, you must log out of Instagram before visiting our
website. You can also prevent the loading of the Instagram plugins and thus the data
processing procedures described above with add-ons for your browser for the future,
e.g. with the script blocker "NoScript" (http://noscript.net/).
Please refer to Instagram's privacy policy for the purpose and scope of data collection
and the further processing and use of data by Instagram and your rights and setting
options for protecting your privacy at: https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388/
9.2 Instagram with Shariff Solution
Our website uses so-called social plugins ("plugins") of the Instagram online service
operated by Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Rd, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA ("Instagram").
In order to increase the protection of your data when you visit our website, these
buttons are not fully integrated into the page as plug-ins and only fully operational when
using an HTML link. This type of integration ensures that no connection to Instagram's
servers is established when you access a page on our website that contains such
buttons. When you click the button, a new browser window opens and opens the
Instagram page, where you can interact with the plugins (if necessary, after entering
your login data).
Please refer to Instagram's privacy policy for the purpose and scope of data collection
and the further processing and use of data by Instagram and your rights and setting

9.3 Use of YouTube Videos
This website uses the YouTube embedding function for display and playback of videos
offered by the provider YouTube, which belongs to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon
House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 ESW5, Ireland ("Google").
To this end, the extended data protection mode is used to ensure, according to provider
information, that user information will only be stored once the playback function of the
video is started. When the playback of embedded YouTube videos is started, the
provider sets "YouTube" cookies in order to collect information about user behavior.
According to indications from YouTube, the use of those cookies is intended, among
other things, to record video statistics, to improve user-friendliness and to avoid
improper actions. If you are logged in to Google, your information will be directly
associated with your account when you click on a video. If you do not wish to be
associated with your profile on YouTube, you must log out before activating the button.
Google saves your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and
evaluates them. Such an evaluation takes place in particular according to Art. 6 (1) point
f GDPR, on the basis of the legitimate interests of Google in the insertion of personalized
advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. You have
the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact
YouTube to exercise this right. When using YouTube, personal data may also be
transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.
Regardless of whether the embedded video is played back, a connection to the Google
network "double click" is established when visiting this website. This may trigger further
data processing beyond our control.
Further information on YouTube's privacy policy can be found in the provider's data
protection declaration at: www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
To the extent required by law, we have obtained your consent to the processing of your

On our website, plugins of the video portal Vimeo of Vimeo, LLC, 555 West 18th Street,

that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Vimeo's
servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Vimeo directly to your browser and
integrated into the page. Through this integration, Vimeo receives the information that
your browser has called up the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not
have a Vimeo account or are not currently logged in to Vimeo. This information
(including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a Vimeo server in
the USA and stored there. If you are logged in to Vimeo, Vimeo can immediately assign your visit of our website to
your Vimeo account. If you interact with the plugins (e.g. pressing the start button of a
video), this information is also transmitted directly to a Vimeo server and stored there.
The data processing operations described are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1)
point f GDPR, on the basis of Vimeo's legitimate interest in market research and the
need-based design of the service.
If you do not want Vimeo to assign the data collected via our website directly to your
Vimeo account, you must log out of Vimeo before visiting our website.
The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the
data by Vimeo as well as your related rights and privacy settings can be found in
Vimeo's privacy policy: https://vimeo.com/privacy
For videos from Vimeo that are embedded on our site, the tracking tool Google Analytics
of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, is
automatically integrated. This relates to Vimeo's own tracking which we do not have
access to and which cannot be influenced by our site. Google Analytics uses "cookies",
which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use
the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will
generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States, where
it may also be transmitted to servers of Google LLC.
This processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR on the basis of
Vimeo's legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization
and marketing purposes.

of Google AdSense is not merged with other Google data. The information collected by
Google may be transferred to third parties, if this is prescribed by law and/or if third
parties process this data by request of Google.
The described processing of data takes place according to Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR, for the
purpose of target-oriented advertising to the user by third parties whose advertisements

10.2 Google Ads Conversion Tracking
This website uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and the conversion
tracking within the framework of Google Ads, operated by Google Ireland Limited,
Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 ESW5, Ireland ("Google"). We use the program
of Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising
materials (so-called Google Adwords) on external websites. We can determine, in
relation to the advertising campaigns data, how successful the individual advertising
measures are. We are interested in showing you advertisements that are of interest to
you. We want to make our website more interesting for you and to achieve a fair
calculation of advertising costs.
The conversion tracking cookie is set on a user’s browser, if he clicks on an ad delivered
by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer system. These
cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal
identification. If the user visits a certain page of this website and if the cookie has not
yet expired, Google and we will be able to recognize that the user clicked on the ad and
was forwarded to this page. Each Google Ads customer gets a different cookie. Thus,
cookies cannot be traced via the website of Google Ads customers. The information
collected by the conversion cookies is used to provide aggregate conversion statistics to
Google Ads customers who have opted-in for conversion tracking. Customers are informed about the total number of users who clicked on the ad and were forwarded to a

11.3 Google Marketing Platform
This website uses the online marketing tool Google Marketing Platform of the operator
Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("GMP").
GMP uses cookies to serve ads relevant to users, to improve campaign performance
reports or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads more than once. Google uses a
cookie ID to identify which ads are shown in which browser and to prevent them from
being shown more than once. The processing is based on our legitimate interest in the
optimal marketing of our website in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
In addition, GMP can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that relate to ad
requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a GMP advertisement and
later, using the same browser, calls up the advertiser's website and makes a purchase
via this website. According to Google, GMP cookies contain no personal information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct
connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use
of the data collected by Google through the use of these tools and therefore inform you as follows according to our state of knowledge: By integrating GMP, Google receives the
information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on
an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can
allocate the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not
logged in, it is possible that the provider will find out and save your IP address. In the
context of the use of GMP, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of
Google LLC. in the USA.
If you wish to object to this tracking procedure, you can deactivate cookies for
conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain
www.googleadservices.com (see https://www.google.de/settings/ads), this setting will be
deleted when you deactivate your cookies. Alternatively, you can contact the Digital
Advertising Alliance at www.aboutads.info to find out how to set cookies and to adjust
your desired settings. Finally, you can set your browser so that you are informed about
the setting of cookies and can decide individually whether to accept them or to exclude
the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general. If cookies are not accepted,
the functionality of our website may be limited.

Google (Universal) Analytics
This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analytics service provided by
Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland
("Google"). Google (Universal) Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on
your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information
generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including the abbreviated IP
address) is usually transferred to a Google server and stored there, and may also be
transferred to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.
This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics exclusively with the extension
"_anonymizeIp()", which ensures anonymization of the IP address by shortening it and
excludes the possibility of direct personal reference. Through the extension, your IP
address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in
other signatory states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before. Only in
exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a server of Google LLC. in the
USA and shortened there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate
your use of the website, to compile reports on the website activities and to provide us
with further services related to the use of the website and the Internet. The IP address
transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google (Universal) Analytics is not
combined with other Google data. Via a special function called "Demographics", Google Analytics also enables the
compilation of statistics with statements about the age, gender and interests of site
visitors based on an evaluation of interest-related advertising and with the use of
third-party information. This allows the definition and differentiation of user groups of
the website for the purpose of target-group-optimized marketing measures. However,
data sets collected via "Demographics" cannot be assigned to a specific person.
Details on the processing operations initiated and on Google's handling of data collected
from websites can be found here:
https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites?hl=en
All the processing described above, in particular the setting of Google Analytics cookies
for reading information on the terminal device used, is only carried out if you have given
us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letter a GDPR. Without this
consent, the use of Google Analytics during your visit to our website will not take place.
You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your
right of withdrawal of consent, please deactivate this service in the
"Cookie-Consent-Tool" provided on the website. We have concluded a data processing
agreement with Google for the use of Google Analytics, which obliges Google to protect
the data of our site visitors and not to pass it on to third parties.
For the transmission of data from the EU to the USA, Google relies on so-called standard
data protection clauses of the European Commission, which are intended to ensure
compliance with the European data protection level in the USA.

our website in Google search results, as well as on third-party websites. The provider is
Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland
("Google"). To this end, Google places a cookie in the browser of your terminal device,
which automatically uses a pseudonymous cookie ID on the basis of pages you visited to
allow interest-based advertising. Processing is based on our legitimate interest in the
optimal marketing of our website in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR.
Any additional processing will only take place if you have agreed with Google that your
Google Internet and app browsing history will be linked to your Google Account and
information from your Google Account will be used for personalized ads you view on the
web. If you are logged in to Google while visiting our website, Google will use your data
in connection with Google Analytics data to create and define target group lists for
cross-device remarketing. To this end, Google temporarily links your personal data with
Google Analytics data to create target groups. When using Google Ads, personal data
may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.
