Meta Pixel
We use Meta Pixel of the social network Facebook for the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offers.

Accordingly, we use these pixels to display the ads placed by us only to users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to Meta (so-called “Custom Audiences”). Meta Pixel helps ensure that our Facebook and other Meta Ads correspond to the potential interest of users and do not have a harassing effect. With the help of Meta Pixel, we can, on the other hand, track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook or other Meta ad (so-called “conversion”).
Your actions are stored in one or more cookies in the process. These cookies allow Meta to match your user data (such as IP address, user ID) with your Facebook or other Meta account data. The collected data is anonymous and not visible to us and can only be used in the context of advertisements. You can prevent the linking with your Facebook account by logging out before you take any action.
To set which types of ads are displayed to you within Meta platforms, you can visit the page set up by Meta and follow the instructions there for the settings of usage-based advertising: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads or in your Instagram profile under ad preferences.
The settings are done in a device-independent manner, which means that they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.
