Further information and the data protection policy concerning advertising and Google can be found in the Google Data Protection Policy and Terms of Use.
g) Google Adwords Conversion Tracking
We also use Google Conversion Tracking to statistically capture and analyse the use of our website in order to optimize our offerings for you. To this end, Google Adwords saves a cookie (point 4.) on your computer in so far as you access our website via a Google advertisement.
These cookies expire after 30 days and do not permit personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the Adwords customer’s website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked the advertisement and was redirected to that page.
Every Adwords customer receives a different cookie. Thus, cookies cannot be tracked via the webpages of Adwords customer. The information generated via the conversion cookie is used to produce conversion statistics for Adwords customers who have opted to use conversion tracking. The Adwords customers find out the total number of users who clicked their advertisement and were redirected to a page containing a conversion tracking tag. They do not receive any information, however, which can be used to identify users personally.
If you do not want to take part in the tracking procedure, you can refuse the required cookie – for example via browser settings which generally deactivate the automatic saving of cookies. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser so that it blocks cookies from the "www.googleadservices.com" domain.

We use this information to show you offers on third-party sites that reflect your interests as established by your previous use behaviour. Your use behaviour is captured and analysed entirely pseudonymously and does not enable us to identify you. In particular, the information is not combined with your personal data.
Google complies with the data protection provisions in the "US Safe Harbor" Convention and is registered in the US Department of Commerce "Safe Harbor" programme. Google uses this information to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports about the website activities for the website operator and to render other services related to the use of the website and the Internet.
Google may also transmit this information to third parties, in so far as this is required by law or if third parties process these data on behalf of Google. Third-party providers, including Google, display advertisements on websites on the Internet and use stored cookies to place advertisements on the basis of a user’s previous visits to the website. Permission to collect and store data can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.
If you do not want to take part in the tracking procedure, you can refuse the required cookie – for example via browser settings which generally deactivate the automatic saving of cookies.

i) Facebook Custom Audiences (EN)
In addition, we also use Facebook website custom audiences of Facebook Ireland Limited (4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland). This is a marketing service at Facebook. It enables us to have individually co-ordinated and interest-based advertising on Facebook shown to certain groups of pseudonymised visitors to our website who also use Facebook.
A Facebook custom audience pixel is integrated in our website. This is a Java Script code via which personal data concerning the use of the website is stored. This includes your IP address, the browser used as well as the originating and destination page. This information is transmitted to Facebook servers in the USA. Facebook is subject to the EU-US privacy shield, so that an appropriate data level is guaranteed.
There, an automated comparison will be made to ascertain whether you have stored a Facebook cookie. Via the Facebook cookie, it will automatically be established whether you belong to the target group relevant for us. If you belong to the target group, you will be shown corresponding adverts by us on Facebook. During this process, you will not be personally identified, either by us or by Facebook, through the comparison of the data.
You can also prevent the use of Facebook custom audiences by clicking on this link. Through this opt-out, any future recording of your personal data when visiting this website is prevented.
j) Facebook Pixel
We use the tracking pixel of Facebook. The social network Facebook is offered by Facebook Inc. or, if you are located in the EU, by Facebook Ireland Ltd. The Facebook pixel enables us to see how you respond to our advertisements on Facebook, for example when you click on a link in the ad that takes you to our website. Custom conversions allow us to measure and analyse the effectiveness of measures aimed at target groups in connection with Facebook. As a result, we gain a better overview of the success of our campaigns in connection with Facebook and can continually optimise them.
The tracking pixel is installed on your device when you respond to an ad we have placed on Facebook, for example because you click on a link to our site in the ad. In this context, a pixel ID is created and stored in a cookie, allowing us to analyse your user behaviour until the tracking pixel expires. The tracking pixel is not used to identify you personally.
The information recorded in connection with use of the Facebook pixel is also processed on servers of Facebook Inc. in the U.S. Facebook is certified under the U.S.-EU data protection agreement Privacy Shield and thus undertakes to comply with European data privacy requirements. If you do not want us to analyse your user behaviour in connection with Facebook ads, you can prevent that by making the relevant Cookie setting in your browser. As a Facebook user, you can also opt out of the recording of your user behaviour by the Facebook pixel in the settings for Facebook ads after you log on to your account.

To this end, cookies and pixels could be implemented which enable the recognition of an internet browser (cf. Section 4). Before being sent to trbo, your IP address is shortened at the end by 8 characters in order to guarantee an anonymised processing of IP addresses.

The pseudonymous user profiles will not be linked to direct personal data associated with the pseudonymous individual without express permission from the affected party.

The information created by the cookie about your use of our website (such as the IP address of the computer system used to access it, the time of access, the referrer URL, and information on the browser and operating system used) is usually transferred to Google servers in the U.S. and processed there. Google observes the data protection provisions of the US Privacy Shield and is registered with the US Privacy Shield programme of the U.S. Department of Commerce. As a result, there are safeguards offering compliance with EU data protection law. Google Analytics is used to protect our legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) sentence 1 point (f) GDPR) in analysing and optimising our online offer and operating this website cost-effectively. Consequently, Google processes the information on our behalf to evaluate use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide us with other services relating to website and Internet use for purposes of market research and tailoring these Internet pages to user needs.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google on the use of Google Analytics. Under that agreement, Google warrants that it will process data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as well as guarantee that the rights of data subjects are protected.
We use Google Analytics only with IP anonymisation enabled. That means the user’s IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other countries that are parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the complete IP address sent to a Google server in the U.S. and truncated there.
We have enabled the advertising functions of Google Analytics. This results in reports on target groups, demographic attributes (such as age and gender) and the interests of site visitors, as well as on our marketing campaigns. The data for these reports comes from campaigns conducted using Google services, interest-based advertising by Google, the Google Display Network, and visitors’ data from third-party providers. Your identity is not disclosed directly to us as part of that. We can use these reports to improve analysis of user behaviour even further in connection with our online offers, and optimise the way we address our target groups.

You can also restrict the recording of data by not logging on to your own Google account when you visit our pages.
We do not use Universal Analytics with a user ID, which is offered by Google.
The recorded data may be transmitted to third parties where this is required by law or third parties process the data on our behalf. The user data recorded by means of cookies is automatically erased after 14 months.
You can prevent installation of cookies by making the relevant setting in your browser software.

If you do not want Facebook to associate the information collected about your visit to our website directly to your Facebook profile, you have to log out from Facebook before visiting our website. You can also completely block the loading of the Facebook plug-ins with add-ons for your browser, e.g. with the "Facebook Block-er" http://webgraph.com/resources/facebookblocker/.
b) Twitter
Plug-ins from the social network Twitter Inc. are also integrated in our website. You can recognise the Twitter plug-ins ("Twitter" button) by the Twitter logo (a white bird on a blue background) and the label "Twitter". If you open a page of our website that contains such a plug-in a direct connection between your browser and the Twitter server will be opened. This will give Twitter the information that you have visited our website with your IP address. If you click on the Twitter button while you are logged in with your Twitter account, you can link the contents of our pages to your Twitter profile. This enables Twitter to associate the visit to our pages to your user account.
We must point out that as provider of the pages we receive no knowledge about the content of the transferred data or their use by Twitter. Further information about this can be found here https://twitter.com/privacy.
If you do not want Twitter to be able to associate the visit to our pages, please log out from your Twitter user account.
c) Google+
Our website uses plug-ins from the Google Plus social network offered by Google. The plug-ins can be recognised, for example, by buttons or the label "+1" on a white or coloured background. An overview of the Google plug-ins and their appearance can be found here: https://developers.google.com/+/plugins.
If you open a page of our website that contains such a plug-in, your browser opens a direct connection to Google’s servers. Google will send the content of the plug-ins directly to your browser and integrate it in the website. This integration will give Google the information that your browser has opened the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Google Plus profile or not currently logged in with Google Plus. This information (including your IP address) will be sent by your browser directly to a Google server in the USA and saved there. If you are logged in with Google Plus, Google can directly associate the visit to our website with your Google Plus profile.
If you interact with the plug-ins, for example click the "+1ike" button, this infor-mation will also be directly sent to a Google server and saved there. The information is also published on Google Plus and displayed there to your contacts.
The purpose and scale of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Google and also your pertinent rights and settings possibilities to protect your private sphere can be found in the Google data protection information https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy.
If you do not want Google to associate the information collected about your visit to our website directly to your Google Plus profile, you have to log out from Google Plus before visiting our website. You can also completely block the loading of the Google plug-ins with add-ons for your browser, e.g. with the "NoScript" script blocker http://noscript.net/.
7. Trusted Shops seal
For the purpose of displaying our Trusted Shops seal, the comments that may be shown there and the presentation of Trusted Shops products to the consumer after order placement, the Trusted Shops Trustbadge is integrated into the website.
This serves to protect our broadly warranted interest in the optimal marketing of our product range within the context of consideration of interests pursuant to Section 6 (1) p. 1 letter f of the General Data Protection Regulation. The Trustbadge and the services advertised with it are an offer of Trusted Shops GmbH, Subbelrather St. 15C, 50823 Cologne, Germany.
When Trustbadge is accessed online, the web server will automatically store a server logfile, which contains such information as your IP address, date and time that the site was accessed, the amount of transferred data and the requesting provider (access data) and will document the retrieval. The access data will not be analysed and will be automatically overwritten no later than seven days after you completed your visit to the site.
Other personal data will transmitted to Trusted Shops only if you have authorised such transmissions, decided to use Trusted Shops’ products after completing an order or have already registered for usage. In this case, the contractual arrangement between you and Trusted Shops will apply.
8. SOVENDUS vouchers
After a purchase at www.calida.com we offer you the possibility to obtain vouchers for online portals via the Sovendus GmbH network.
As part of a process to provide you with an interesting voucher offer, we will send the hash value of your e-mail address and IP address in pseudonymised and encrypted form to Sovendus GmbH, Moltkestr. 11, 76133 Karlsruhe (Sovendus) (Section 6 (1 f) of the General Data Protection Regulation). The pseudonymised hash value of the e-mail address will be used to determine whether any objection to receiving advertising from Sovendus has been filed (Section 21 (3) and Section 6 (1 c) of the General Data Protection Regulation). The IP address will be used by Sovendus solely for the purpose of data protection and, as a rule, will be anonymised after seven days (Section 6 (1 f) of the General Data Protection Regulation). For invoicing purposes, we will provide a pseudonymised order number, order amount in the currency used for the transaction, session ID, coupon code and time stamp to Sovendus (Section 6 (1 f) of the General Data Protection Regulation). If you are interested in receiving a voucher offer from Sovendus, no objection to advertising has been linked to your e-mail address and you click on the voucher banner displayed only for this sale, we will send your encrypted form of address, name and e-mail address to Sovendus for the purpose of preparing a voucher (Section 6 (1 b) of the General Data Protection Regulation).
