(1) Nature and purpose of processing: “Tailored Audiences” and “Conversion Tracking” by LinkedIn offer the opportunity to target existing users and customers who have visited the Freudenberg website with relevant campaigns. This is done by LinkedIn using a website tag to store anonymized user data. When a user visits our website, a LinkedIn cookie is placed in the browser.
At LinkedIn, you can decline interest-based advertising here. Please note that rejection of such advertisements will not remove any ads from the pages you visit.

(1) Nature and purpose of processing: We use Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program from Google LLC. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). Google Ads enables us to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when the user enters certain search terms in Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, targeted advertisements can be displayed based on user data available to Google (e.g., location data and interests) (target group targeting). As website operators, we can evaluate this data quantitatively, for example, by analyzing which search terms led to the display of our advertisements and how many advertisements led to corresponding clicks.
In addition, Google Ads uses web beacons, invisible graphics that enable Google to analyze clicks on this website, traffic on this website, and similar information. This results in an individual cookie, i.e., a small file, being stored on the website user's device.
The following information is stored in this file:
We also receive an individual “conversion cookie.” Google uses the information collected with the help of the cookie to generate conversion statistics for us. However, we only learn the anonymous total number of users who clicked on our ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. We have implemented the “anonymizeIP()” function for this purpose in order to anonymize your IP address. No data is collected that could be used to identify individual website visitors. User data is processed pseudonymously within the Google advertising network. This means that Google does not store and process the names or email addresses of users, for example, but processes the relevant data in relation to cookies within pseudonymous user profiles. This means that, from Google's perspective, the ads are not managed and displayed for a specifically identified person, but for the cookie owner, regardless of who that cookie owner is. This does not apply if a user has expressly permitted Google to process the data without this pseudonymization.
(2) Legal basis: The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
(3) Recipients: Our website is maintained by service providers who act as our processors. All service providers are contractually obliged to treat your data confidentially.
(4) Third-country transfer: The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision by the European Commission for companies that are certified under the Data Privacy Framework.
Google is certified but does not rely on this framework. We have concluded so-called standard contractual clauses with Google LLC.
(5) Storage period: Data will only be processed in this context as long as the relevant consent has been given. After that, it will be deleted.
(6) Mandatory or required provision: The provision of your personal data is voluntary and based solely on your consent. Without your consent, we cannot show you any advertisements.
(7) Withdrawal of consent: You may revoke your consent at any time.
(1) Nature and purpose of processing: We use the Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland
The Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to integrate tracking or statistical tools and other technologies on our website. The Google Tag Manager itself does not create any user profiles, does not store cookies, and does not carry out any independent analyses. It only manages and runs the tools integrated via it. However, the Google Tag Manager does collect your IP address, which may also be transferred to Google’s parent company in the United States.
(2) Legal basis: The Google Tag Manager is used on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the quick and uncomplicated integration and administration of various tools on his website.
If appropriate consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to information in the user’s end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. This consent can be revoked at any time.
(3) Recipients: Our website is maintained by service providers who act as our processors. All service providers are contractually obliged to treat your data confidentially.
(4) Third-country transfer: The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision by the European Commission for companies that are certified under the Data Privacy Framework. Google is certified in accordance with the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the US, which is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the US. Every company certified under the DPF is obliged to comply with these data protection standards.

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (data processing on the basis of a balance of interests); this also applies to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 4 GDPR.
If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate interests for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.
(2) Recipients of an objection
The objection can be made informally with the subject "Objection", stating your name, address or other identifying information to the above-mentioned contact details.
To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. TLS).

The new data protection declaration will then apply to your next visit.
