9) References and links
In the case of direct or indirect references to external websites ("links") that are outside the author's area of responsibility, a liability obligation would only come into force if the author was aware of the content and it was technically possible and reasonable for him to prevent use in the event of illegal content. The author therefore expressly declares that at the time the links were created, the corresponding linked pages were free of illegal content. The author has no influence on the current and future design and on the content of the linked pages. He therefore expressly distances himself from all content on all linked pages that was changed after the link was created. This statement applies to all links and references set within our website as well as to external entries in guest books, discussion forums and mailing lists set up by the author. For illegal, incorrect or incomplete content and in particular for damage resulting from the use or non-use of information provided in this way, the provider of the page to which reference is made is solely liable, not the person who merely refers to the respective publication via links.
10) Copyright and trademarks
The author endeavors to protect the copyrights of graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts, to use self created graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts or to use license-free graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts in all publications. All brands and trademarks mentioned on the website which may be protected by third parties are subject without restriction to the provisions of the applicable trademark law and the ownership rights of the registered owner. Solely by naming does not mean that trademarks are not protected by the rights of third parties. The copyright for published objects created by the author remains solely with the author. Duplication or use of such graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the author's approval.

12) Retargeting/Remarketing and Conversion Tracking
Meta Pixel
Within our online offering, we use the "Meta Pixel" service of the following provider: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta"). When a user clicks on an ad we have placed on Facebook and/or Instagram, the URL of our linked page is extended by a parameter using "Meta Pixel." This URL parameter is then entered into the user’s browser via a cookie set by our linked page. This allows Meta to determine the visitors of our online offering as a target group for the display of ads (so-called "Ads"). Accordingly, we use the service to display the Facebook and/or Instagram ads we have placed only to those users who have shown interest in our online offering or who exhibit certain characteristics (e.g., interests in certain topics or products, determined based on the visited websites) that we transmit to Meta (so-called "Custom Audiences"). Furthermore, "Meta Pixel" can be used to track whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an ad and what actions they perform there (so-called "Conversion Tracking"). The data collected is anonymous to us, meaning it does not allow us to draw conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta, enabling a connection to the respective user profile, and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes. All described processing, especially setting cookies for reading information on the used end device, will only be carried out if you have given us your explicit consent according to Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect by disabling this service in the "Cookie-Consent-Tool" provided on the website. We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, ensuring the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibiting unauthorized disclosure to third parties. The information generated by Meta is generally transmitted to a Meta server and stored there; this may also involve a transfer to Meta Platforms Inc. servers in the USA. For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, ensuring compliance with the European data protection level based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission.
13) Tools and Miscellaneous
Cookie-Consent-Tool
This website uses a "Cookie-Consent-Tool" to obtain effective user consent for consent-requiring cookies and cookie-based applications. The "Cookie-Consent-Tool" is displayed to users as an interactive user interface when the page is accessed, allowing them to grant consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications by ticking a box. All consent-requiring cookies/services will only be loaded if the respective user gives the corresponding consent by ticking the box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the respective user's end device if consent is given. The tool sets technically necessary cookies to store your cookie preferences. Personal user data is not generally processed in this context. If, in individual cases, the processing of personal data (such as the IP address) occurs for storage, assignment, or logging of cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR based on our legitimate interest in lawful, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a lawful design of our internet presence. An additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. As data controllers, we are legally obliged to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user's consent. If necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, ensuring the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibiting unauthorized disclosure to third parties. Further information about the operator and the configuration options of the Cookie-Consent-Tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

When processing personal data for the purpose of direct marketing based on Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object according to Art. 21(2) GDPR. Unless otherwise specified in the other information of this statement regarding specific processing situations, stored personal data will be deleted when they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
