This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google as well as visitor data from third-party providers. The data is not assigned to a specific person. This function can be deactivated at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or the collection of your data by Google Analytics can be generally prohibited as in the point. This is done as shown under “Objection to data collection”.

The data collected is anonymized for us as the operator of this website. We cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the user. However, Facebook stores and processes this data so that the respective user profile can be connected and Facebook can use this data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the Facebook Data Use Policy.
