Cookie type: B

Data collected: see “Data Collected by Google Analytics“

Legal basis: Article 6 (1)(f) GDPR.

11 – Advertising

11.1 Advertising with Google Ads (Google AdWords)

We use the services of Google Ads Conversion to draw attention to our services by means of advertising materials (so-called Google Ads) on external websites. We can determine how successful our advertising measures are on the basis of the data of the advertising campaigns. We are interested in showing you advertisements that are of interest to you, in making our website more interesting for you, and in achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.

These advertising materials are delivered by Google via so-called “Ad Servers”. For this purpose, we use ad server cookies, through which we can measure certain parameters for success such as the display of ads or clicks by users. If you are directed to our website via a Google ad, Google Ads will store a cookie on your device. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify you. As a rule, the analysis parameters stored with this cookie are the unique cookie ID, the number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), the last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (a mark indicating that the user no longer wishes to be addressed).

These cookies enable Google to recognize your Internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of an Ads customer’s website and the cookie stored on their device has not yet expired, Google and the customer can determine that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to this page. Each Ads customer is assigned a different cookie. Therefore, cookies cannot be traced via the websites of Ads customers. We do not collect and process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. We can determine which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective on the basis of these evaluations. We do not receive any further data from the use of advertising material; in particular, we cannot identify users on the basis of this information.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. We have no influence on the extent and the further use of the data which are collected through the use of this tool by Google, and therefore inform you according to our level of knowledge: As a result of the integration of Ads Conversion, Google receives information that you accessed the corresponding part of our Internet website or you clicked on one of our advertisements. If you are registered with one of Google’s services, Google can associate your visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider may obtain and store your IP address.

As already described above, you can prevent cookies from being set by our website at any time by making the corresponding settings in your browser, thus permanently objecting to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the browser you use would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on your device. In addition, a cookie set by Google Ads can be deleted at any time using the browser or other programmes.

You have the possibility to object to personalised advertising by Google. To this end, you must go to this link from each of the browsers you use and carry out the desired settings there. Personalised advertisement can be deactivated here. For more information on Google Ads, go here.

Google is subject to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield. For more information and the applicable privacy policy of Google, go here.

Cookie type: C

Legal basis: Article 6 (1)(a) GDPR.

11.2 Advertising with Google Dynamic Remarketing

After you visit our website, Google Remarketing will display our ads to you during your subsequent use of the Internet.

This is how Google can determine your previous visit to our website.

12 – Social networks

12.1 Data processing by social networks

Furoo maintains publicly accessible profiles in social networks. The social networks we use are listed further below in this Privacy Policy.

Social networks like facebook and twitter can carry out a comprehensive analysis of your usage behaviour when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. “like” buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media sites will trigger several processing activities relating to data protection. More specifically:

When you are logged in your social media account and you visit our social media site, the operator of the social media portal can associate this visit with your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected when you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, data are collected through cookies which are stored on your device, or through identification of your IP address.

Using the data collected in this manner, the operators of the social media portals can generate user profiles in which they store your preferences and interests. They can thus display interest-based advertisement to you within and outside the respective social media sites. In those cases in which you have an account with the respective social network, the interest-based advertisement can be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.

Please also note that we cannot trace all processing activities on the social media portals. Therefore, depending on the provider, the operators of the social media portals may carry out further processing activities. For more details, please refer to the terms of use and data safeguard provisions of the respective social media portals.

12.2 Legal basis

The objective of our social media sites is to ensure the most comprehensive presence on the Internet. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) DSGVO. The analysis processes triggered by the social networks may be based on diverging legal bases that must be indicated by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR).

12.3 Responsibility and assertion of rights

When you visit one of our social media sites, we are responsible, together with the operator of the social media platform, for the data processing operations triggered by this visit. You can generally assert your rights (right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and to lodge a complaint) both toward us and toward the operator of the respective social media portal.

Please keep in mind that, despite the joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full control over the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our possibilities considerably depend on the company policy of the respective provider.

12.4 Storage duration

The data we directly collect through our social media sites will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request their deletion, revoke your consent for their storage, or the purpose for their storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Any mandatory statutory provisions – especially those regarding data retention periods – shall remain unaffected by this provision.

We do not have any influence on the storage duration of your data stored by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For more details, please request information directly from the operators of the social networks (e.g. in their Privacy Policy, see below).

12.5 Social networks in detail

Facebook

We maintain a profile on facebook. The provider is Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA. Facebook is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield.

You can adjust the advertising settings in your user account yourselves. To do so, click on the following link and log in. For more details, consult facebook’s data policy.
