This website uses the YouTube embedding feature to display and play videos from the provider “YouTube,” which is owned by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).

This feature uses the enhanced privacy mode, which, according to the provider, does not begin storing user information until the video(s) are played. When embedded YouTube videos are played, the provider “YouTube” uses cookies to collect information about user behavior.

According to information from “YouTube,” these are used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve the user experience, and prevent abusive behavior. If you’re signed in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account when you click on a video. If you do not want this to be linked to your YouTube profile, you must log out before clicking the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and analyzes them. Such an analysis is carried out, in particular, in accordance with Art. 6, para. 1(a). f GDPR, based on Google’s legitimate interests in displaying personalized ads, conducting market research, and/or tailoring its website to user needs. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; to exercise this right, you must contact YouTube.

You may revoke the consent you have provided at any time, effective for the future, by disabling this service using the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.

When using YouTube, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the U.S. Regardless of whether the embedded videos are played, a connection to the Google network is established every time this website is accessed, which may trigger further data processing operations beyond our control.

For the transfer of data from the EU to the U.S., the provider has joined the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with European data protection standards based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

REINER SCT uses products and services provided by Visable GmbH (www.visable.com) in cooperation with that company for analytical and marketing purposes. To this end, data is collected, processed, and stored using web beacon technology to create usage profiles that are at least pseudonymized and, where possible and appropriate, fully anonymized. The collected data, which may initially still contain personal information, is transmitted to Visable or collected directly by Visable and used there to create the aforementioned usage profiles. Visitors to this website are not personally identified, and no other personal data is combined with the usage profiles. If IP addresses are identified as containing personal information, they will be deleted immediately.

Exclude visitor tracking (Note: This link sets a first-party cookie for opt-out)

As part of our online services, we use the “Meta Pixel” service provided by the following company: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Meta”)

When a user clicks on an ad we’ve posted on Facebook and/or Instagram, “Meta Pixel” adds a parameter to the URL of our linked page. After the redirect, this URL parameter is then stored in the user’s browser via a cookie set by our linked page itself.

This enables Meta, on the one hand, to identify visitors to our website as a target audience for displaying advertisements (so-called “ads”). Accordingly, we use the service to display the Facebook and/or Instagram ads we place only to users who have shown an interest in our online offerings or who exhibit certain characteristics (e.g., interests in specific topics or products, determined based on the websites they have visited), which we transmit to Meta (so-called “Custom Audiences”).

On the other hand, the “Meta Pixel” allows us to track whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an ad and what actions they took there (so-called “conversion tracking”).

The data we collect is anonymous to us, so it does not allow us to identify individual users. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta, which means it can be linked to the respective user profile and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes.

All of the processing operations described above—in particular, the setting of cookies to retrieve information from the device you are using—will only be carried out if you have given us your consent in accordance with Art. 6, para. 1(a). a) You have given your explicit consent under the GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time, effective for the future, by disabling this service in the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.

We have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our website visitors’ data and prohibits its unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

The information generated by Meta is generally transmitted to and stored on a Meta server; in this context, it may also be transmitted to servers operated by Meta Platforms Inc. in the U.S.

For data transfers to the United States, the provider has joined the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with European data protection standards based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

By analyzing the data from the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful each individual advertising measure is. Our goal is to show you advertisements that are relevant to you, make our website more interesting for you, and ensure that advertising costs are calculated fairly.

If the user visits certain pages on this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can tell that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. Every Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot, therefore, be tracked through Ads customers’ websites. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. Customers can see the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, you will not receive any information that could be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can block this functionality by disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie in your web browser under User Settings. They will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

We use Google Ads based on our legitimate interest in targeted advertising in accordance with Art. 6, para. 1(a). in accordance with the GDPR. When using Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the U.S.
