Online Behavioural Advertising
Information about Online Behavioural Advertising (OBA)
Usage-based online advertising, also referred to as "online behavioural advertising (OBA)", is technology that makes it possible to display advertising on visited websites that is tailored to your assumed preferences and thus more interesting for you. Based on the previous anonymized surfing behaviour of internet users, the users' interests are combined to create user profiles and displayed in accordance with the assumed user interests. This makes it possible to deliver advertising as selectively as possible. This form of selected advertising is based on your previous, anonymized surfing behaviour (or more precisely, the surfing behaviour documents via the browser) and is generally called usage-based online advertising.
The advertising on our sites, services, applications and tools will be optimised according to your predicted interests by collecting and processing data in anonymous form about your usage behaviour. For this purpose, we will use cookies, web beacons or similar technologies (see our Cookie Notice). We set these with your consent obtained via our cookie banner. The usage data collected via our websites, services, applications and tools will be stored in pseudonymous form. We may provide anonymous and statistical data regarding the use of our websites, services, applications and tools to third party providers for advertising purposes. You can control (e.g. what information you want to share) and update your personal preferences to improve and personalise your experience on our website, including advertising tailored to your interests, as you use our websites, services, applications and tools. To do this, you can use the link to the cookie settings at the beginning of this notice.

What type of data will be collected?
Information about your activities on and usage of our websites, services, applications and tools (e.g. which display ads you clicked on, which subpages you visited, your search queries etc.) is collected. Since it cannot be fully ruled out that the collected usage data may be indirectly referenced to your person, all usage data will be stored in anon-ymous or pseudonymous form so that an identification of you as a person will almost certainly not be possible. Your IP address, which is transmitted due to technical reasons, will be fully anonymised by an independent third party and will in the above-mentioned context not be used for the targeted display of advertisement.
