Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. These cookies expire after 180 days and are not used for personal identification.
If the user is redirected to pages on this website from a pin on Pinterest and the cookie has not yet expired, the tag records certain user actions predefined by us and can track them (e.g. completed transactions, leads, search queries on the website, views of product pages). When such an action is carried out, your browser sends an HTTP request from the cookie to Pinterest's server via the Pinterest tag, with which certain information about the action (including type of action, time, browser type of the device) is transmitted.
Through this transmission, Pinterest can create statistics about usage behavior on our website after being redirected from a Pinterest pin, which we use to optimize our offering.
However, we do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies to read information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent to this in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service in the “cookie consent tool” provided on the website.
TikTok pixels
This website uses the “TikTok Pixel”, a tracking technology from the social network “TikTok” from TikTok Technology Limited, 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Ireland (“TikTok”).
With the help of cookies (small text files that are stored on the device used), information about surfing behavior on our website is collected in a pseudonymized form, transmitted to TikTok, stored there and evaluated in order to then enable interest-based and personalized product recommendations to be displayed on TikTok. The subject of the information collected and processed pseudonymously is the device ID, the device type, time stamp, the operating system used and the IP address. The information can be assigned to the user using additional information that TikTok has stored about the user, for example due to the ownership of an account on the social network “TikTok”. TikTok can also combine the information collected via the pixel with other information that TikTok has collected via other websites and/or in connection with the use of the social network “TikTok” and thus create pseudonymized usage profiles. Under no circumstances can the information collected be used to personally identify visitors to this website.
The TikTok Pixel also allows us to track the effectiveness of advertisements on TikTok. If the user is redirected to pages on this website by an ad on TikTok and the cookies have not yet expired, the pixel records certain user actions predefined by us and can track them (e.g. completed transactions, leads, search queries on the website, views of product pages). When carrying out such an action, your browser sends an HTTP request from the cookie to the TikTok server via the TikTok pixel, which transmits certain information about the action. Through this transmission, TikTok can create statistics about usage behavior on our website after being redirected from a TikTok ad, which we use to optimize our offering.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies to read information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent to this in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service in the “cookie consent tool” provided on the website. We have concluded an order processing agreement with TikTok for the use of the TikTok Pixel, which obliges TikTok to protect the data of our site visitors and not to pass it on to third parties. TikTok generally transmits collected information outside the European Economic Area and relies on so-called standard data protection clauses of the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with European data protection levels.
Twitter conversion tracking
This website uses conversion tracking technology from Twitter International Company, One Cumberland Place, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, D02 AX07 Ireland (“Twitter”).
If you have come to our website from a tweet or an advertisement on Twitter, we will place a cookie on your computer that interacts with a “tag” that is also implemented in the form of a JavaScript code from Twitter. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. If the user is redirected from Twitter to pages on this website and the cookie has not yet expired, the tag records certain user actions predefined by us and can track them (e.g. completed transactions, leads, search queries on the website, views of product pages). When such an action is carried out, your browser sends an HTTP request to Pinterest's server via the "tag" from the cookie, with which certain information about the action (including type of action, time, browser type of the device) is transmitted.
Through this transmission, Twitter can create statistics about usage behavior on our website after redirection, which we use to optimize our offering.
However, we do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies to read information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent to this in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service in the “cookie consent tool” provided on the website.
