On the basis of his / her express consent, when a user clicks on an advertisement played by us on Facebook, an addition is added to the URL of our linked page by Facebook pixels.

In addition, this cookie collects specific customer data such as the e-mail address that we use on our website linked to the Facebook ad for processes such as Collect sales transactions, account registrations or registrations (exp data comparison). The cookie is then read by Facebook Pixel and enables the data, including the specific customer data, to be forwarded to Facebook. With the help of the Facebook pixel with extended data comparison, Facebook is on the one hand able to precisely determine the visitors to our online offer as a target group for the presentation of advertisements (so-called "Facebook ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel with extended data comparison in order 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 that based on the websites visited), which we transmit to Facebook (so-called "Custom Audiences").
