Analysis Advertising tracking
Use of Google Analytics
We use the web analysis service Google Analytics of Google Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; "Google") on our website.
The data processing serves the purpose of analysing this website and its visitors as well as for marketing and advertising purposes. For this purpose, Google will use the information obtained on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide further services to the website operator in connection with website and internet use. In this context, the following information may be collected, among other things: IP address, date and time of the page view, click path, information about the browser you use and the device you use, pages visited, referrer URL (website via which you accessed our website), location data, purchase activities. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.
Google Analytics uses technologies such as cookies, web storage in the browser and tracking pixels, which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated thereby about your use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. There is no adequacy decision of the EU Commission for the USA. The data transfer takes place, among other things, on the basis of standard contractual clauses as suitable safeguards for the protection of personal data, available at: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks and https://business.safety.google/adsprocessorterms/. Both Google and US state authorities have access to your data. Your data may be linked by Google with other data, such as your search history, your personal accounts, your usage data from other devices and any other data that Google holds about you.
IP anonymisation is activated on this website. As a result, your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
The processing of your personal data takes place on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR out of our overriding legitimate interest in the needs-based and targeted design of the website. You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to this processing of personal data concerning you.
You can prevent the collection of data generated by Google Analytics and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
In order to prevent the collection and storage of data by Google Analytics across devices, you can set an opt-out cookie. Opt-out cookies prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website. You must carry out the opt-out on all systems and devices used for this to have a comprehensive effect. If you delete the opt-out cookie, requests will again be transmitted to Google. If you click here, the opt-out cookie will be set: Disable Google Analytics.

We use the online advertising programme "Google Ads" on our website and, within this framework, conversion tracking (visit action evaluation). Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland).
If you click on an advertisement placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is placed on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity, do not contain any personal data and therefore do not serve to identify you personally. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that you have clicked on the advertisement and were redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. There is therefore no possibility that cookies can be tracked across the websites of Ads customers.
The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie serves the purpose of creating conversion statistics. In this context, we learn the total number of users who have clicked on one of our advertisements and were redirected to a page provided with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.
Your data may be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the USA. There is no adequacy decision of the EU Commission for the USA. The data transfer takes place, among other things, on the basis of standard contractual clauses as suitable safeguards for the protection of personal data, available at: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks and https://business.safety.google/adscontrollerterms/.
You can deactivate personalised advertising for you in the advertising settings at Google. Instructions on this can be found at https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de
Alternatively, you can prevent the use of cookies by third parties by visiting the opt-out page of the Network Advertising Initiative at https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and implementing the further information on opting out stated there. You will then no longer be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
Further information and Google's privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/
We use the remarketing or "Similar Audiences" function of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) on our website.
The application serves the purpose of analysing visitor behaviour and visitor interests. To carry out the analysis of website usage, which forms the basis for creating interest-based advertisements, Google uses cookies. The cookies record visits to the website as well as anonymised data about the use of the website. No personal data of the website's visitors is stored. If you subsequently visit another website in the Google Display Network, you will be shown advertisements that are highly likely to take into account product and information areas previously accessed.
Your data may be transferred to servers of Google LLC in the USA. There is no adequacy decision of the EU Commission for the USA. The data transfer takes place, among other things, on the basis of standard contractual clauses as suitable safeguards for the protection of personal data, available at: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks.
Your personal data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, based on our overriding legitimate interest in addressing page visitors in a targeted manner with interest-based advertising. You have the right to object at any time to this processing of personal data concerning you on grounds relating to your particular situation.

We integrate Google Analytics and Google Ads of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; "Google") via the Google Tag Manager. We use cookies and comparable technologies of Google Analytics and Google Ads only with your consent in our cookie settings: Google Analytics with the consent "Google Analytics 4 (statistics)", Google Ads with the consent "Google Ads & ADCELL (marketing)". This also applies to the processing described in the preceding sections on Google Analytics, Google Ads conversion tracking and the remarketing function. In addition, we use the following features:
Enhanced conversions: If you have consented to "Google Ads & ADCELL (marketing)" and complete an order, the email address provided during the order, your telephone number (if provided) and your first and last name are converted into hash values (unreadable character strings) using the SHA-256 process before transmission and, together with the postcode and country of the billing address as well as the conversion (order number, order value, ordered items and the information whether it is your first order with us), transmitted to Google Ads and Google Analytics. Email address, telephone number and name are not transmitted to Google in plain text. Google matches the hash values with likewise hashed data from Google accounts in order to attribute the order to a previous interaction with one of our advertisements, including across devices. We receive from this only aggregated statistics, no information about individual persons. Without this consent, neither hash values nor postcode and country are transmitted.
Remarketing and audiences: With your consent to "Google Ads & ADCELL (marketing)", Google uses cookies and comparable technologies to record which pages and products you have accessed on our website and assigns your browser to audiences (remarketing lists). On this basis, ads for our products can be displayed to you on other websites and in Google services. We use data from Google Analytics via the linking of Google Analytics with Google Ads for audiences and personalised advertising only if you have additionally consented to "Google Ads & ADCELL (marketing)".
Google signals: If you have consented to "Google Analytics 4 (statistics)", we use the "Google signals" feature in Google Analytics. In doing so, Google links the session data collected on our website with your Google account, provided you are signed in to Google and have activated personalised advertising in your Google account. This enables cross-device reports and audiences. We only receive aggregated evaluations, no information about individual persons or Google accounts. Irrespective of consent on our website, you can prevent this linking at any time by deactivating personalised advertising in your Google account: https://adssettings.google.com
Consent mode (Google Consent Mode v2): The Google Tag Manager is loaded when our website is accessed and communicates your consent status to Google. As long as you have not consented, Google Analytics and Google Ads do not set or read any cookies. In that case, neither cookie identifiers nor your email address or other hashed contact data are transmitted to Google, and no data is used for personalised advertising. In this case, Google receives only cookieless signals with information such as consent status, time, page accessed, whether you reached our website via an advertisement, browser and device information as well as, in the case of an order, order number, order value, ordered items (item number, quantity, price) and the information whether it is your first order with us; for technical reasons, your IP address is transmitted to Google in this process. If you come to us via a Google advertisement, we store its click identifier (e.g. gclid) exclusively in your shop session on our server and append it once to the address of the order confirmation page after you complete your order; thereafter it is deleted from the session. This enables Google to attribute the order to the advertisement if you have consented to "Google Ads & ADCELL (marketing)". Without this consent, Google Ads removes the click identifier from its signals; in the cookieless signals of Google Analytics, it is contained as part of the accessed page address. Google uses these signals to estimate conversions and the use of the website in aggregated form (modelling). The legal basis for these cookieless signals is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in measuring the effectiveness of our advertising without setting cookies. You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to these processing operations of personal data concerning you.
Otherwise, the storage of information in your terminal device and access to it take place on the basis of your consent pursuant to § 25 (1) TDDDG (German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act), and the processing of your personal data on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by calling up the cookie settings (icon at the bottom of the screen) and deactivating the respective consent. The lawfulness of the processing carried out until withdrawal remains unaffected.
The recipient of the data is Google. A transfer to Google LLC in the USA is possible. Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework; the transfer takes place on the basis of the adequacy decision of the EU Commission (Art. 45 GDPR).
Storage duration according to Google: cookies from Google Ads (e.g. _gcl_au) have a duration of up to 90 days, cookies from Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_*) of up to 2 years; membership of remarketing audiences ends after no more than 540 days. Otherwise, the storage duration is governed by Google's information: https://policies.google.com/technologies/retention
Further information can be found at https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/9888656 (enhanced conversions), https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/10000067 (consent mode) and in Google's privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy
We participate in the "Google Customer Reviews" programme of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; "Google"). If you have consented to "Google Customer Reviews" in our cookie settings, we load a script from Google on the order confirmation page after you complete an order, which displays a window to you. In it, you decide for yourself whether Google may invite you by e-mail after delivery to take part in a voluntary survey about your purchase from us.
So that Google can display this window and, where applicable, send you the survey, we transmit to Google: your e-mail address, the order number, the delivery country, the estimated delivery date and the GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) of the ordered items. When the script is loaded, Google also receives technical data such as your IP address and information about your browser; in this context, cookies and comparable technologies from Google may be used. Only if you consent to participation in the window will Google send you the survey. Google may publish your review together with the reviews of other customers as a review of our shop, for example in Google Shopping and in Google ads. Google processes the survey and the publication of the reviews under its own responsibility; information on this can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
The legal basis for loading the script and transmitting the aforementioned data to Google is your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR; § 25 (1) TDDDG). Without this consent, we do not load any script from Google and do not transmit any data to Google. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future in the cookie settings (icon at the bottom of the screen). A transfer of personal data to the USA is possible; Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, for which an adequacy decision of the European Commission pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR exists.
We use the analysis service Microsoft Clarity of Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd., One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland ("Microsoft") on our website.
The data processing serves the purpose of analysing the use of our website in order to improve usability and our offering. For this purpose, interactions such as clicks, scrolling and mouse movements as well as pages visited are recorded and evaluated as heatmaps and session recordings. The following information may be processed, among other things: IP address, date and time of the page view, information about the browser used, the operating system and the device (e.g. screen resolution), pages visited, referrer URL and approximate location (country/region). Microsoft Clarity uses cookies and similar technologies: on our domain _clck and _clsk, on Microsoft domains CLID, ANONCHK, MR, MUID and SM.
The storage of information in your terminal device and access to it take place on the basis of your consent pursuant to § 25 (1) TDDDG, and the processing of your personal data on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. Microsoft Clarity is only loaded after you have given your consent in our cookie settings.
A transfer of data to the Microsoft Corporation in the USA cannot be ruled out. The Microsoft Corporation is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework; the transfer takes place on the basis of the adequacy decision of the EU Commission (Art. 45 GDPR).
You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by opening the cookie settings (icon at the bottom of the screen) and deactivating Microsoft Clarity. The lawfulness of the processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected.
Storage duration according to Microsoft: session recordings are stored for 30 days, heatmaps and marked sessions for 13 months. The cookies _clck, CLID and MUID have a term of up to one year, _clsk of one day; ANONCHK, MR and SM are short-lived technical cookies.
Further information can be found in Microsoft's privacy statement at: https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement
To improve our shop, we use our own tracking pixel operated on our server to measure how our pages and tools (e.g. the vehicle assistant, the battery finder, the search) are used. Only anonymous event data is transmitted: type of event (e.g. "vehicle selected", "page left"), page type, device type (mobile/desktop) as well as rough classes for dwell time and scroll depth. No cookies are set, no information is stored in or read from the terminal device, no user identifiers are created and no data is transmitted to third parties. The IP address technically transmitted with each page view is processed only within the scope of the server log files (see section "Server log files") and is not merged with the event data.
The processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR out of our legitimate interest in a user-friendly design and troubleshooting of our shop. Since no access to information in your terminal equipment takes place, consent pursuant to § 25 TDDDG is not required.
You have the right to object to this processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation (Art. 21 GDPR), e.g. by e-mail to [email protected].
Plug-ins and other
Use of social plug-ins by means of "Shariff"
We use plug-ins of social networks on our website. So that you retain control over your data, we use the privacy-safe "Shariff" buttons.
Without your express consent, no connections to the servers of the social networks are established and consequently no data is transmitted.
"Shariff" is a development by the specialists at the computer magazine c’t. It enables greater privacy online and replaces the usual "share" buttons of social networks. More information about the Shariff project can be found here https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html.
When you click the buttons, a pop-up window appears in which you can log in to the respective provider with your data. Only after this active login by you is a direct connection to the social networks established.
By logging in, you give your consent to the transfer of your data to the respective social media provider. This includes, among other things, both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited. If you are simultaneously connected to one or more of your social network accounts, the information collected will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons. The social networks named below are integrated using the "Shariff" function.
Further information on the scope and purpose of the collection and use of the data as well as on your rights in this regard and options for protecting your privacy can be found in the linked privacy notices of the providers.

Use of social plug-ins by means of the "2-click solution"
We use plug-ins of social networks on our website by means of the "2-click solution". Without your express consent, no connections to the servers of the social networks are established and consequently no data is transmitted.
When plug-ins are integrated as standard, accessing the pages of our website that contain such a plug-in establishes a link between your computer and the servers of the social network provider, and the plug-in is displayed on the page by notifying your browser. In this process, both your IP address and the information as to which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider's servers. This applies regardless of whether you are registered or logged in to the social network. Transmission also takes place for users who are not registered or not logged in. If you are also logged in to the social network Facebook, this information is assigned to your personal user account. When using the plug-in functions (e.g. by pressing the button), this information is also assigned to your user account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plug-in. So that you retain control over your data, we have decided to initially deactivate the corresponding button. You can recognise this by the greyed-out button. Without your express consent – in the form of activating the button – no link to the server of the social network is established and consequently no data is transmitted.
Only once you activate the button does the button become active (highlighted in colour) and a direct connection to the servers of the social network is established.
By activating the button, you give your consent to the transfer of your data to the respective provider of the social network. In this process, your IP address and the information as to which of our pages you have visited are transmitted, among other things. If you are simultaneously connected to one or more of your social network accounts, the information collected will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your user accounts with the social networks before visiting our website and before activating the buttons.
The social networks named below are integrated using the "2-click function". Further information on the scope and purpose of the collection and use of the data as well as on your rights in this regard and options for protecting your privacy can be found in the linked privacy notices of the providers.
