Google Analytics
On our websites, we use “Google Analytics” to analyse user data, a service provided by Google LLC (“Google”), 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Thereby, Google Analytics uses cookies. Cookies are small text files which are stored on your computer. The information saved in the cookie about your use of this website will be transmitted to and stored on a server by Google in the United States. However, we have activated the setting “anonymizeIP”. This is an IP anonymization, the use of which masks the IP address you are using in the last octet or the rear blocks. This means that the last numbers of your IP address are replaced by a “0” before being transferred to the USA. A direct personal reference is thus excluded. Furthermore, the data collected with Google Analytics cannot be linked with other data. We employ the usage data collected by means of Google Analytics for the evaluation and statistical analysis of the use of our website by its visitors. The data collected this way will be deleted after 14 months.
Personal data is collected and processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU-GDPR) (“Legitimate interest”). Our legitimate interest consists in the optimisation of our website, including its evaluation and analysis.

1. Use of the Google browser add-on (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout) to deactivate Google Analytics. The browser add-on prevents Google Analytics from transmitting information about visiting the website.
2. Alternatively to the browser add-on or within browsers on mobile devices, please click the following link:

Google Ads Conversion
On our website, we use Google Ads Conversion in order to draw attention to our offers by applying means of advertising (so-called Google Ads) on external websites. This is a web analysis service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter referred to as “Google”).
In relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. We are thus pursuing the interest of displaying advertisement to you which corresponds to your interests, in order to make our website more appealing to you.
These means of advertising are delivered by Google via so-called “ad servers”. For this purpose, we use ad server cookies which can be used to measure certain parameters for success such as the display of ads or the clicks by the users. If you access our website via a Google advertisement, Google Ads stores a cookie on your terminal device. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally.
The unique cookie ID, the number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), the last impression (relevant for post view conversions) and the opt-out information (the marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values for this cookie. These cookies enable Google to recognize your web browser. If a user visits certain pages on an Ads customer's website and the cookie stored on his or her computer has not expired, Google and the customer can see that the user clicked on the ad and was directed to this page. Each Ads customer is assigned a different cookie. Therefore, cookies cannot be traced via the websites of Ads customers.
In the context of the aforementioned advertising measures, we ourselves do not collect and process any personal data. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. These evaluations enable us to identify which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data by using such means of advertising. In particular, this information does not enable us to identify the users.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We do not have any influence on the extent and the further use of the data collected by Google due to applying this tool. Therefore, we inform you according to our state of knowledge: By integrating Ads Conversion, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or you are not logged in, it is possible that the provider may find out and store your IP address.
Google Adwords Remarketing
Our website uses Google AdWords remarketing campaigns. This is a web analysis service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View CA 94043, USA (hereinafter referred to as “Google”), which is controlled in conjunction with Google AdWords. To place ads on internet websites, Google uses cookies which are stored on your computer. Those cookies serve to record the user's visits and to identify the web browser on a particular computer. They do not serve to identify a person. Remarketing is aimed specifically at reaching visitors who have already called up the website. While you are on websites that are part of the Google display network, or when you search Google for terms related to our products, interest-related ads are placed. To enable this, the information generated by the cookie is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there. You can object to the collection and storage of data for the future at any time. For this purpose, you can deactivate the use of cookies by Google. You can do this under the following link (http://www.google.com/settings/ads) by deactivating the interest-related ads on Google. The so-called “opting-out” prevents remarketing by storing a cookie on your PC. Note, however, that if you select the option “Delete cookies” in your browser settings, the “opting-out cookie” will also be removed and remarketing will be applied again. For further information about Google and the limitation of data usage please visit (link). By using this website, you agree to Google's proceeding and the results of remarketing.
Google Tag Manager
This website uses the Google Tag Manager. The Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage website tags via an interface. The tool itself (which implements the tags) is a domain which doesn’t use cookies and which does not collect any personal data. The tool triggers other tags which, in turn, may collect data. The Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been carried out at domain or cookie level, this will persist for all tracking tags implemented with the Google Tag Manager.
MAPP Germany GmbH
In some newsletters, we include tracking links that enable us to evaluate your user behaviour. The information collected this way is stored by the provider of the newsletter software on its server in Germany. We use this data exclusively for the purposes of technical administration of the websites, for customer administration, market research and only to the extent necessary for such purposes. If you do not wish the tracking, you have the possibility to unsubscribe from our newsletter. To do this, you can use the link provided in each newsletter or send an email to info@boerse-stuttgart.de.
Facebook
Within our websites, we use the Website-Custom-Audience-Pixel of Facebook Inc. 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). Facebook is certified under the EU Privacy Shield.
This process allows us to follow the behavior of our users once they have viewed or clicked on a Facebook ad. Through this, we are able to evaluate the effectiveness of the Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and can thus optimize our advertising measures. When you visit our website, this information is passed on to Facebook.
The data collected by us is anonymous and gives us no indication of the identity of the user. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook are able to use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Facebook’s data use policy. You can allow Facebook and its partners to display ads on and off Facebook. Additionally, a cookie can be stored on your hard drive for this purpose.
