If the CUSTOMER visits a certain Internet site, the third-party provider and the COMPANY can recognize that the CUSTOMER clicked on the ad and were redirected to that specific site. This makes it possible for the COMPANY to collect data that is important for its advertising activities. Where applicable, it informs the COMPANY of the total number of users that clicked on an advertisement, the length of their stay, their operating system, device model, location, payment transactions made and which mobile app functions have been used. However, it does not provide the COMPANY with any personal information regarding the user's identity.

If the CUSTOMER does not wish to participate in this form of conversion tracking, it can decline to have the necessary cookie placed on its system by setting its browser to generally deactivate the automatic placement of cookies. By way of example, the CUSTOMER can use its Internet browser's “do not track” (DNT) option.

Using the Google Inc.

Google uses so-called “cookies” to analyze usage of the website, which is the basis for interest-based advertising. To do so, Google saves a small file with a numeric sequence in the browser of the website's visitors. This number is used to record the number of visits to the website and anonymous data about the website's use. No personal data of the website's visitors is recorded.

If the CUSTOMER visits another website in the Google Display network after being at the COMPANY’S site, it will be shown advertisements that very likely take into account product and information sites that have been called up in the past. The CUSTOMER can permanently deactivate the use of cookies by Google by clicking on the following link and then downloading and installing the plug-in that the CUSTOMER finds there: www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin/. Alternatively, the CUSTOMER can deactivate the use of cookies by third parties by calling up the deactivation site of the Network Advertising Initiative at www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and following the opt-out instructions there.

Additional information about Google Remarketing and Google's data privacy policy is available here: www.google.com/privacy/ads/.

Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows the COMPANY to manage various website tags from a user interface. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-less domain and does not record any personal data. The tool triggers other tags that record data in some circumstances. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation was made at the domain or cookie level, it remains in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with Google Tag Manager.

Using Quantcast Remarketing allows the COMPANY to address those who visit the COMPANY’S website in a targeted manner.
