To calculate conversion ads, Microsoft Advertising places a cookie on your computer when you have accessed our website via a Microsoft Bing Ad. This allows Microsoft Advertising and us to recognise that someone has clicked on an advertisement, been redirected to our website, and reached a previously defined landing page (conversion page).
We only learn the total number of users who clicked on a Bing Ad and were then directed to the conversion page. If you do not wish for information about your behaviour to be used by Microsoft, you can decline the placement of cookies.

When you reach our website via such an advertisement, a cookie is placed on your computer. Our website integrates a Bing Universal Event Tracking (UET) tag — a piece of code that, in conjunction with the cookie, stores among other things the time spent on the website, which sections of the website were visited, and which advertisement led the user to the website. You can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website, as well as the processing of such data, by disabling the placement of cookies.

This information may be attributed to you with the help of additional information that Pinterest has stored about the user — for example, by virtue of holding an account on the "Pinterest" social network. Pinterest analyses browsing behaviour using an algorithm and can subsequently display targeted product recommendations as personalised advertising banners on the user's Pinterest account. Pinterest may also combine the information collected via the pixel with further information collected by Pinterest from other websites and/or in connection with use of the "Pinterest" social network, thereby creating pseudonymised usage profiles.
For remarketing services, our website uses Pinterest's conversion tracking technology, the "Pinterest Tag". If you have arrived at our website from a Pin on Pinterest, we place a cookie on your device that interacts with a likewise implemented "tag" in the form of JavaScript code from Pinterest. When a user is redirected from a Pin on Pinterest to our website, the Pinterest Tag records certain user actions predefined by us and can track these (e.g. leads, search queries on the website, views of product pages).
As a result of our collaboration, we also process your personal data as joint controllers. To safeguard your rights and in compliance with the requirements of the GDPR, we have concluded an agreement that establishes rules for the processing of your personal data.
