11. COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

11.1 GENERAL

Cookies and similar technologies (e.g. pixel tags and device identifiers) are used by Einfache Gesellschaft Schulwegkampagne and our advertising technology partners to identify you and/or your device(s) within or outside different services and devices or across different services and devices.

“Cookies” are small text files that contain a string of characters and are used to uniquely identify a browser on a device connected to the internet. Every browser that visits our websites receives cookies from us. We also place cookies in your browser when you visit websites of other providers that host our plug-ins or tags. We use cookies and other technologies on all of our websites to ensure the best possible and safest experience on our websites and to provide you with tailored information about products and services. Einfache Gesellschaft Schulwegkampagne also uses cookies or similar technologies on its websites to collect online data, such as your mobile device ID, IP address and other data about your device, as well as behavioural data about your device usage on our websites (e.g. pages viewed, links clicked, documents downloaded). This data flows into third-party services used by Einfache Gesellschaft Schulwegkampagne, which are designed to provide targeted digital advertising and personalisation services.

11.2 TYPES OF COOKIES

We may use personalised or embedded URLs that allow us to identify you without cookies. When an obviously personalised or embedded URL is used, personal data may be collected when you navigate our website.
We may use pixel technologies embedded in the electronic channels to identify individual user visits (as opposed to the total number of visits) or for advertising purposes. Embedded pixels or other technologies can also be used in email and online advertising. In this case, they provide information about when an email or ad was opened and how effective marketing campaigns are. The data collected by these technologies can be linked to the recipient’s e-mail address.

11.3 MANAGEMENT OF COOKIE SETTINGS

If you do not wish to receive cookies, you can change the browser settings on your computer or another device that you use to access our services. Most browsers also offer features that allow you to check and delete cookies, including Einfache Gesellschaft Schulwegkampagne cookies.

12. ANALYSIS AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

12.1 GOOGLE ANALYTICS, GOOGLE ADS CONVERSION TRACKING, AND GOOGLE TAG MANAGER

To record statistics on the use of our websites and assess them for the purpose of optimising our websites for you, we also use Google Conversion Tracking. Google Ads places a cookie on your computer if you have accessed our website via a Google ad. These cookies expire after 30 days and cannot be used to identify you personally. If the user visits certain pages on the Google Ads customer’s website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can detect that you have clicked on the ad and have been redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers.

The information collected with the help of the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. They do not, however, receive information which can be used to identify users personally. If you do not want to participate in the tracking process, you can also opt out of having the cookie that is required to do this set on your browser – for example, by means of a browser setting which disables the automatic setting of cookies in general.

As part of Google Remarketing, cookies are used to collect your browsing behaviour in anonymised form for marketing purposes and to tailor advertising offers to your interests. Under no circumstances do these technologies collect or store any personal data that could be used to identify you personally.

12.2 GOOGLE PLACES API

We use Google Places API to make location-based searches easier for our customers and to automatically complete address data. The data collected by a search supported by Google Places API is subject to Google’s Terms of Service. Google processes data about the use of Places by the user. You can find more information here: https://developers.google.com/maps/terms/.

12.3 GOOGLE MARKETING PLATFORM

We use the Google Marketing Platform function on our websites to evaluate use of the websites and to enable us, Google and other advertisers who work with the Google Marketing Platform to present you with user-relevant advertising. For this purpose, a cookie is installed on the hard drive of your computer. This cookie is used to assign a pseudonymous identification number (ID) to your browser and to collect information about the advertisements displayed in your browser and how they are accessed. The information collected by the cookie about your use of websites is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. On the basis of the information collected, your browser is assigned categories relevant to your interests. These categories are used to place interest-based advertising. In addition to changing your browser settings, you can also permanently disable the Google Marketing Platform cookie with the help of a browser plug-in.

12.4 GOOGLE ANALYTICS, GOOGLE FIREBASE AND DASHTHIS

For our websites and apps, we use Google Analytics, potentially Google Firebase (analytics services provided by Google Inc. “Google”) and DashThis from Moment Zero to analyse user behaviour. Analysis of service usage makes it possible to further tailor the service to customer needs. Usage data is not linked to personal data. Google and Moment Zero may transfer anonymised usage information to third parties if required to do so by law or if third parties process the information on behalf of Google and/or Moment Zero. Under no circumstances will Google link your IP address with other data from Google. Google Analytics and DashThis from Moment Zero use cookies to analyse the websites. The information generated by the cookies may be used by Google and Moment Zero to evaluate your use of the website. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser; however, please note that if you do so, you may not be able to use all website and app functions to their full extent.
