Google DoubleClick

Type and Scope of Processing

We have integrated components of DoubleClick by Google on our website. DoubleClick is a brand of Google that primarily markets specialized online marketing solutions to advertising agencies and publishers. DoubleClick by Google transfers data to the DoubleClick server with each impression, click, or other activity.

Each data transfer triggers a cookie request to the affected person’s browser. If the browser accepts this request, DoubleClick sets a cookie in your browser.

DoubleClick uses a cookie ID, which is required for the execution of technical processes. For example, the cookie ID is needed to display an advertisement in a browser. Additionally, DoubleClick can track which advertisements have already been displayed in a browser using the cookie ID to prevent duplicate ads. The cookie ID also enables DoubleClick to record conversions, such as when a user previously saw a DoubleClick ad and later completes a purchase on the advertiser’s website using the same browser.

A DoubleClick cookie does not contain any personal data but may include additional campaign identifiers. A campaign identifier is used to track campaigns you have interacted with on other websites. Through this service, Google gains knowledge of data that can also be used to generate commission statements. Google can track, for instance, whether you clicked on specific links on our website. In this case, your data is transferred to the operator of DoubleClick, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Further information and the applicable data protection regulations for DoubleClick by Google can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Purpose and Legal Basis

We process your data using the DoubleClick cookie for the purpose of optimizing and displaying advertisements based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG. You provide your consent by configuring cookie settings (cookie banner/consent manager), which you can withdraw at any time with future effect in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR.

The cookie is used, among other things, to display and serve user-relevant ads, generate reports on advertising campaigns, or improve them. Additionally, the cookie prevents multiple displays of the same advertisement. Each time a page on our website with an integrated DoubleClick component is accessed, your browser is automatically instructed by the respective DoubleClick component to transmit data to Google for the purposes of online advertising and commission billing.

There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide your data. If you do not provide your consent, you can still visit our website without restrictions; however, some features may not be fully available.

We intend to transfer personal data to third countries outside the European Economic Area, particularly the USA.

We intend to transfer personal data to third countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA), particularly the USA. If there is no adequacy decision by the European Commission, we have agreed on alternative safeguards with the recipients in accordance with Art. 44 et seq. GDPR. These, unless otherwise stated, are the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) of the EU Commission as per Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of June 4, 2021. A copy of these SCCs can be viewed at:

Additionally, before transferring data to third countries, we obtain your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 49 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, which you provide via the consent manager (or other forms, registrations, etc.). Please note that such data transfers may involve unknown risks, such as data processing by foreign security authorities, whose scope and consequences are unknown to us, beyond our control, and may not be disclosed to you.
