Collected data:

• Country (via local GeoIP database, no external API call)
• Scroll depth and page load time
• UTM parameters (campaign tracking)

Revocation: You can revoke your consent at any time by selecting "Only necessary" in the cookie banner. This will delete the analytics cookie (_sp_aid) and no further data will be collected. Already collected raw data will be deleted within 90 days at the latest.

7. Meta Pixel (with consent only)

With your consent, we use the Meta Pixel (formerly Facebook Pixel) on our marketing website to measure the effectiveness of our Facebook and Instagram advertising campaigns.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with § 25(1) TDDDG (consent via cookie banner)

Provider:

Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland

Collected data:

• Device type, operating system, and browser
• IP address (stored in truncated form by Meta)

The Meta Pixel is used exclusively to measure our own advertising campaigns on Facebook and Instagram. No conversion events (purchases, carts) are captured, as our marketing website does not have any shop functionality. Only page views (PageView) are captured.

We are jointly responsible with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited for certain data processing within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR, insofar as Meta processes the data collected via the Pixel for its own purposes (ad performance measurement, targeting optimization). The details of joint controllership are governed by Meta's Controller Addendum.

Data transfer to third countries:

Meta may transfer data to the USA. The basis for the third-country transfer is the adequacy decision of the European Commission on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (Art. 45 GDPR). Meta Platforms, Inc. is DPF-certified.

Revocation: You can revoke your consent at any time by deactivating the "Marketing" category in the cookie banner. After revocation, no more data will be transmitted to Meta.
