Facebook Pixel
This website uses the so-called “Facebook Pixel” of the social network “Facebook” (Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2 Ireland) for the following purposes:
- Facebook (Website) Custom Audiences
We use the Facebook Pixel for remarketing purposes in order to be able to address you again within 180 days. This means that users of the website as part of visits to the social network “Facebook” or other websites that use this method can be shown adverts related to their interests (“Facebook ads”). We therefore pursue our interest to show you adverts that could interest you in order to design our website or offers to be more interesting for you. - Facebook Conversion
Furthermore, with the help of the Facebook Pixel, we want to ensure that our Facebook ads match the interests of the user and do not annoy the user. With the help of the Facebook Pixel, we can track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes, being able to see whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called “conversion”).
On the basis of the marketing tools used, your browser automatically sets up a direct connection with the Facebook server as soon as you have consented to the use of cookies that are subject to approval. Three types of data are recorded by Facebook in the process:
HTTP-HEADER: HTTP headers contain a sequence of information that is sent via a standard web log between an arbitrary browser enquiry and an arbitrary server in the internet. HTTP headers contain information such as IP addresses (which can only be evaluated at general federal level in Germany), information on the web browser, page storage location, document, URI reference and user agent of the web browser.
PIXELSPEZIFISCHE DATEN: This comprises the Pixel ID and Facebook cookie data, which are used to link events with a specific Facebook advertising account and to assign the data to a person who is known to Facebook.
OPTIONALE WERTE: Developers and marketers can send additional information about your visit via standard and user-defined data events. The following user-defined data events are recorded on this website:
- Clicking on a partner shop
- Opening a data sheet/operating instructions
- Clicking on an app download badge
- 75% scroll depth
- Starting a chat
Data sent to Facebook through the use of the Facebook Pixel are stored there for 180 days, according to Facebook. After this period, the data are encrypted and anonymised.
By integrating the Facebook Pixel, Facebook receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding web page of our website or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a service from Facebook, Facebook can assign your visit to your account. The legal basis for the processing of data is your consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
The processing of data by Facebook is carried out as part of Facebook’s data usage policy. You can also obtain special information and details on the Facebook Pixel and its mode of functioning in the Facebook help section. You will find more information on the cookies used by Facebook Pixel in the “cookie policy” section.

Together with Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (Facebook), we are mutually responsible for the collection and transfer of the data as part of this process. This is valid for the following purposes:
