Information on usage-based online advertising

At this point we would like to inform you comprehensively about use-based online advertising. The advertising spaces on this website are marketed by the portal itself and by Traffective GmbH. Part of the advertising on this portal is optimised for you through the anonymous collection and processing of your usage behaviour with regard to predicted interests. A cookie is stored on your computer for this purpose. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer’s hard drive and enable recognition, but do not allow any personal identification of you.

In order to optimize advertising for you based on your usage interests, we have permitted the following companies to collect usage data:

We collect information about your activities on our portal (e.g. clicked advertising banners, visited sub-pages of internet offers, surfing behaviour, etc.).

This data may be used in connection with anonymous data from online questionnaires. The IP address of your computer transmitted for technical reasons will be completely anonymized by an independent third party and will not be used for the controlled insertion of advertising.
