INDIVIDUAL ADVERTISING (retargeting)
In order to make online marketing more customer-oriented, we use retargeting technology on our website. This means that we store pseudonym data regarding, for example, which products you viewed or what type of products you put in your shopping basket or your list. In this way we are able to send or show you advertising of interest to you, such as newsletters and product recommendations that correspond to your areas of interest. Retargeting advertising is displayed using a cookie-based analysis of the previous user behavior. No personal data is stored during this process.
