2. First the most important things about cookies, tracking and the »PUR« option

Before we get to anything else: There are two options for using our website. With the »PUR« option, we completely dispense with advertising tracking and third-party advertising. In addition, your usage behavior is not analyzed. Cookies are only used in the PUR subscription to provide essential functions of our website, such as logging into your personal user account. In addition, we process technically necessary data that is necessary for the display as well as the stability and security of our website.    
If you decide to read our website for free, we finance our content through advertising. For this purpose, the advertisers set cookies, which enable tracking to play out and optimize advertising based on your usage behavior and your presumed interests and needs. In order to be able to provide the website, we use cookies, device identifiers and similar technologies on your end devices. A detailed overview of the services and cookies used for this purpose can be found in this data protection declaration.     
The legal basis for their use is the European Cookie or ePrivacy Directive in conjunction with the German Telemedia Act (§§ 12 ff. TMG, until November 30th, 2021) or - from December 1st, 2021 - the law regulating data protection and the protection of the Privacy in telecommunications and telemedia (§ 25 f. TTDSG)) or the European General Data Protection Regulation (Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. a (consent)).

6.2 Type of data

INFOnline GmbH collects the following data, which according to EU-DSGVO have a personal reference: 

  • IP address: On the Internet, every device needs a unique address, the so-called IP address, to transmit data. The at least short-term storage of the IP address is technically necessary due to the way the internet works. The IP addresses are shortened by 1 byte before any processing and only processed further anonymously. There is no storage or further processing of the unabridged IP addresses.
  • A randomly generated client identifier: To recognize computer systems, range processing alternatively uses either a third-party cookie, a first-party cookie, a "local storage object" or a signature that is created from various automatically transmitted information from your browser. This identifier is unique to a browser as long as the cookie or local storage object is not deleted. A measurement of the data and subsequent assignment to the respective client identifier is therefore also possible if you call up other websites that also use the measurement method ("SZMnG") of INFOnline GmbH.    
    The validity of the cookie is limited to a maximum of 1 year.

6.3 Use of Data

The measurement method used by INFOnline GmbH on this website determines usage data. This is done in order to collect the performance values ​​of page impressions, visits and clients and to form other key figures from them (e.g. qualified clients). In addition, the measured data is used as follows: 

· A so-called geolocalization, i.e. the assignment of a website call to the place of the call, takes place exclusively on the basis of the anonymized IP address and only up to the geographical level of the federal states / regions. Under no circumstances can conclusions be drawn about the specific whereabouts of a user from the geographic information obtained in this way. 

· The usage data of a technical client (e.g. a browser on a device) is merged across websites and stored in a database. This information is used for the technical assessment of the socio-information age and gender and passed on to the AGOF service providers for further range processing. As part of the AGOF study, socio-characteristics are technically estimated on the basis of a random sample, which can be assigned to the following categories: age, gender, nationality, professional activity, marital status, general information on the household, household income, place of residence, internet use, online Interests, place of use, user type.

7 Data protection and information on usage-based online advertising

Internet advertisers (e.g. online marketers or advertising agencies) use a so-called "AdServer" as a "technical tool" for the placement of usage-based online advertising.

If you now visit certain websites or click on certain advertising banners on websites you visit, the AdServer places a cookie on your computer. Certain information (data) is stored in this cookie - anonymously or pseudonymised - e.g. about the content of the advertisements on which you clicked, the product advertised there, etc.

The AdServer processes the data collected in this way on behalf of the advertiser by creating a kind of "online advertising profile" in the cookie that contains your possible interest preferences. This makes it possible to show you advertisements that may be better tailored to your interests and preferences on future visits to websites.

It is important that the AdServer does not link any collected data to other databases that could allow conclusions to be drawn about you. In particular, neither your name, your e-mail address, your residential address nor other personal information such as your date of birth or telephone number are stored in the cookie and processed by the ad server.

10 Use of Aumago

Alfons W. Gentner Verlag GmbH & Co. KG works together with Aumago GmbH (“Aumago”), Berlin, a target group marketer. Aumago uses so-called cookies, a text file that is stored in the computer's browser and collects/contains anonymous usage data for the purpose of usage-based online advertising (Online Behavioral Targeting "OBA"), such as the type of website visited, categories and/or product pages visited and/or via which browser and end device this was done. No personal information is recorded. The usage data can therefore not be linked to the real identity of the user.

The cookies are either Aumago cookies or cookies from service providers that Aumago uses. The user can either delete the cookies directly in the browser at any time or manage their cookie preferences at  www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement .

On the basis of this anonymous analysis of the user's surfing behavior, Aumago segments this information from the cookies according to industry, e.g. browser "1" receives the cookie "Industry A" on website "X" and enables more targeted online advertising from the interests assumed from this. On behalf of Alfons W. Gentner Verlag GmbH & Co. KG, Aumago will use this anonymous, non-personal information to market it as part of more targeted online advertising.

11Facebook

11.1 Social Plugins

This offer uses social plugins ("Plugins") from the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). The plugins can be recognized by one of the Facebook logos (white "f" on a blue tile, the terms "Like", "Like" or a "thumbs up" sign) or are marked with the addition "Facebook Social Plugin". The list and appearance of the Facebook Social Plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/

If a user calls up a website of this offer that contains such a plugin, his browser establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from Facebook to your browser, which integrates it into the website. The provider therefore has no influence on the amount of data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and therefore informs the users according to their level of knowledge:

By integrating the plugin, Facebook receives the information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of the offer. If the user is logged into Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to his Facebook account.

11.2 Facebook Website Customer Audiences

On our website we use the "Custom Audiences" pixel from the social network Facebook, 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. So-called tracking pixels are integrated on our website. When you visit our pages, a direct connection is established between your browser and the Facebook server via the tracking pixel. Facebook receives information from your browser, among other things, that our site has been accessed by your device. If you are a Facebook user, Facebook can use this to associate your visit to our site with your user account. We would like to point out that we, as the provider of the pages, have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or how it is used by Facebook. We can only choose which segments of Facebook users (such as age, interests) our advertising should be displayed. We use one of two Custom Audiences working methods in which no data records, in particular no e-mail addresses of our users - neither encrypted nor unencrypted - are transmitted to Facebook.

11.3 Conversion measurement with the Facebook conversion pixel

We use the "conversion pixel" or visitor action pixel from Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). By calling up this pixel from your browser, Facebook can subsequently recognize whether a Facebook advertisement was successful, e.g. led to an online purchase. We only receive statistical data from Facebook without reference to a specific person. This allows us to measure the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes. In particular, if you are logged in to Facebook, we also refer to their data protection information  https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/
