Facebook Pixel, Facebook Custom Audiences and Facebook Conversion

Within our website, the so-called “Facebook Pixel” of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or if you are a resident of the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”), is used.

With the help of the Facebook pixel, it is possible for Facebook to determine you as a visitor to our website as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called “Facebook ads”). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to display the Facebook ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g., interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the web sites visited) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called “Custom Audiences”). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and do not have a harassing effect. With the help of the Facebook Pixel, we can further track the effectiveness of the Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called “conversion”).

The processing of data by Facebook takes place within the framework of Facebook’s data usage policy. Accordingly, general information on the display of Facebook ads, in the data use policy of Facebook. Specific information and details on the Facebook pixel and how it works can be found in Facebook’s help section.

For the processing of data for which Facebook acts as data processor, we have concluded a data processing contract with Facebook in which we oblige Facebook to protect our customers’ data and not to pass it on to third parties.

You can object to the collection by the Facebook pixel and use of your data to display Facebook ads. To control what types of ads are displayed to you within Facebook, you can visit the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions there on the settings for usage-based advertising.  The settings are platform-independent, i.e., they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices. You can also opt out of the use of cookies for reach measurement and advertising purposes via the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page and additionally via the US web site aboutads.info or the European web site youronlinechoices.com.

Use of AddThis Plugins

Our website uses so-called social plugins (“plugins”) of the bookmarking service AddThis, which is operated by AddThis LLC, Inc. 8000 Westpark Drive, Suite 625, McLean, VA 2210, USA (“AddThis”). You can find an overview of the AddThis plugins and their appearance here: https://www.addthis.com/get/sharing. When you call up a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the AddThis servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly to your browser by AddThis and integrated into the page. Through the integration, AddThis receives the information that your browser has called up the corresponding page of our website and stores a cookie on your end device to identify your browser. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to an AddThis server in the USA and stored there. AddThis uses the data to create anonymised user profiles, which serve as a basis for personalised and interest-based advertising targeting of visitors to websites with AddThis plugins. For the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by AddThis, please refer to the privacy policy of AddThis: http://www.addthis.com/privacy/privacy-policy. If you wish to object to the collection of data by AddThis for the future, you can set a so-called opt-out cookie, which you can download from the following link: http://www.addthis.com/privacy/opt-out. You can also completely prevent the loading of AddThis plugins with add-ons for your browser, e.g., with the script blocker “NoScript” (https://noscript.net/).

Google Analytics

DWR Agency uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online offer by the users is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. In doing so, pseudonymous user profiles can be created from the processed data.

We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymisation activated. This means that the IP address of the user is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by the user’s browser will not be merged with other data from Google.

Users can change or revoke the storage of cookies by making the appropriate setting in the Cookie Policy.

For more information on Google’s use of data for advertising purposes, settings and opt-out options, please visit the Google Privacy Policy.

Social Network Interaction and Widgets: Social network widgets, buttons and plug-ins on the Website passively transmit data relating to social network members on the relevant social network. These technologies may allow a social network to personally identify its members and know the web sites its members have visited. This is always the case when social network buttons are embedded. If you are a member of a social network or use web services in these categories, you should check the privacy policies of these services to find out what data they collect and whether the respective service offers options on how the data is collected and used. If you disable advertising cookies, the passive tracking associated with these buttons will be blocked on our website.
