6.2. Retargeting

This website uses retargeting technologies, which are operated by other providers. Retargeting can be used on websites of our partners to target users with targeted advertising who have previously been interested in our shop and our products. Studies show that the integration of personalized, interest-based advertising is more interesting to the user than advertising that does not show such a personal connection. The integration of advertising material takes place in retargeting based on a cookie-based analysis of prior user behavior. Of course, no personal data is stored here either, and just as normally, use of the retargeting technology takes place with due observance of the applicable legal provisions for data protection. If you do not agree with the use of this form of advertising, you can deactivate cookies and/or delete existing cookies via the settings of your internet browser.

For example, from which city a website visitor comes, what type of browser and operating system the website visitor uses and which pages he has visited on the internet. Under no circumstances can the data collected be used to personally identify the visitor to this website. The data collected is only used to improve the offer.
