3.4 Use of technically unnecessary cookies and pixels based on consent
3.4.1 Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by users is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. In the event that IP anonymisation is activated on this website, however, Google will truncate the user’s IP address beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. IP anonymization is active on this website.
On our behalf, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to us as the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
The legal basis for this is the declaration of consent given by you when calling up this website in the context of our cookie banner (Art. 6 para. 1 a, 7 DSGVO). You can revoke the consent you have given at any time with effect for the future. Please click this link to revoke your consent and prevent the collection by Google Analytics within this website in the future. In doing so, an opt-out cookie will be placed on your device. Please note that the opt-out cookie only works in the browser in which it was set. Even if you delete your cookies, you must click this link again.
Alternatively, you can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser software. Users can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to their use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
3.4.2 Google Adwords
As an AdWords customer, we also use Google Conversion Tracking on our website. This is an analysis service of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). As part of this service, Google Adwords sets a cookie on your computer (“conversion cookie”) if you have come to our website via a Google ad. These types of cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to identify you personally. If you visit certain pages of ours and if the cookie has not yet expired, it is possible for us and Google to recognize with the help of this cookie that someone clicked on the ad and was thus redirected to our site. Since each AdWords customer receives a different cookie, it is not possible to track the cookie across other AdWords customers’ websites. The purpose of the conversion cookie is to use the information collected to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers. As an AdWords customer, we only learn the total number of users who clicked on our ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that allows us to personally identify a user.
The legal basis for the processing is the declaration of consent given by you when calling up this website in the context of our cookie banner (Art. 6 para. 1 a, 7 DSGVO). You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To do so, configure your browser setting according to your wishes and, for example, refuse to accept third-party cookies or all cookies. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “googleadservices.com”. Please note that the browser settings you make only ever apply to the browser you are using.
3.4.3 DoubleClick by Google
We use the DoubleClick by Google service on our website to present you with advertisements that are relevant to you. DoubleClick by Google is a service provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).
When using DoubleClick, a pseudonymous identification number (ID) is assigned to your browser in order to be able to determine that you have visited our site, which ads were displayed in your browser and which ads were called up. The cookies do not contain any information that allows us to identify you directly. The use of DoubleClick cookies only enables Google and its partner websites to serve ads based on previous visits to our website or other websites on the Internet.
The information generated by the cookies is transferred by Google to a server in the USA for analysis and stored there. A transfer of data by Google to third parties only takes place due to legal regulations or in the context of order data processing.
The legal basis for the processing is the declaration of consent given by you when calling up this website in the context of our cookie banner (Art. 6 para. 1 a, 7 DSGVO). You can revoke the consent you have given at any time with effect for the future. Prevent the collection of data generated by the cookies and their transmission to Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at https://support.google.com/ads/answer/7395996?hl=de.

On our website, we use the remarketing technology of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). Through the use of this technology, it is possible to address users who have already visited our websites and online services and are interested in the offer, through targeted advertising on the pages of the Google Partner Network again. The insertion of advertising is carried out through the use of cookies, i.e. small text files that are stored on the user’s computer. The purpose of the data processing is to use the text files to analyse user behaviour when visiting the website and then to use them for targeted product recommendations and interest-based advertising.
The legal basis for the processing is the declaration of consent given by you when calling up this website in the context of our cookie banner (Art. 6 para. 1 a, 7 DSGVO).
The remarketing cookies used have a maximum validity of 60 days after your last visit. Please note that this period starts to run again when you visit our website again.
You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. Such a revocation is possible via the page https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922. Alternatively, you can deactivate the use of third-party cookies by visiting the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative.
We also point out that Google has its own privacy policies, which are independent from ours. We do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies and procedures.

3.4.11 YouTube
On our website, we use a service from YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA to integrate videos. The videos are stored on http://www.YouTube.com. You can play these videos directly from our website. The videos are all embedded in “enhanced privacy mode”, which means that no data about you as a user is stored by YouTube unless you play the videos. Nevertheless, YouTube contacts the Google service Double Click, whereby, according to YouTube, no data is stored in this case. Only when you play the videos will your IP address and the information that you have watched the video be stored by YouTube. If you are logged in to YouTube, this information is also assigned to your user account with YouTube. If you do not wish this, you must log out of your YouTube account before playing the video. We have no influence on the data collection and processing by YouTube. You can find more information about the data processing by YouTube in their privacy policy.

By a personal customer profile we mean a database consisting of the following data:

By this we mean data that is collected when you visit our website and our social media presences, when you use one of our apps and when you receive our newsletter or push messages. In detail, this is, for example, information about which pages you view, when and for how long you visit us or use our apps, whether you read our newsletters and which end devices you use for this purpose. You can find out which data is collected in detail and on what legal basis within the scope of the respective digital offer in the data protection information of the respective digital offer.
2. Customer and contract-related data
By this we mean data that we have received from you as part of a pre-contractual or contractual relationship. This includes, for example, your name, contact details, contractual details such as your tariff and your consumption and also technical or construction data if it was collected as part of our (pre-)contractual relationship (e.g. roof area, system performance data).
3. Other information provided
By this we mean all data that you have given us yourself or generated by means of our applications outside of our contractual or pre-contractual relationship. This can be, for example, your expressed interest in one of our products or services, but also, for example, a notice of an upcoming move or other changes to your home, which could have an impact on the optimal tariff for you. Another example is when you use our e-mobility driving simulation to find out whether an e-car could be useful for you.
4. Data that we collect in the context of your communication with us.
We understand this to mean data that we collect in connection with a communication with you in addition to the information provided in terms of content. This concerns in particular our assessment of your satisfaction.
If you have given your consent to the creation of a personal customer profile, this data will be merged and evaluated on a personal basis. The creation of your personal customer profile serves the purpose that we can refer you to content individually tailored to your interests, where we assume that they could be particularly helpful or interesting for you in your situation. It also allows us to provide you with more relevant offers that are more likely to be of interest to you. Furthermore, with the help of the customer profile, we can offer advice that meets your personal needs and give you more transparency around your energy consumption and costs and help you avoid unnecessary consumption.
The legal basis for the data processing is your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 a) DSGVO). The personal customer profile created will be deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was created, but at the latest when you withdraw your consent.
Please note that the granting/non-granting of consent does not affect data processing that is already permitted on the basis of other legal grounds (such as for contractual purposes (Art. 6(1)(b)) or for legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) DSGVO)).
3.6 Use of the registration function
Individual offers on our website require registration. The use of these offers is voluntary. The data required for registration are requested in the course of the registration process. These are, for example, your name, your e-mail address, your date of birth and a password of your choice. The provision of this data is required for registration purposes.

3.10 Integration of news feeds
On our website we have integrated so-called news feeds of social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Google+. When you visit our website, these news feeds are deactivated by default. This means that without activating the news feeds on your part, no data is sent to the respective social networks. To activate the newsfeeds, you must first click on them. The newsfeed will then remain activated until the browser window is closed. As soon as you have activated the respective newsfeed, a direct connection is established with the server of the respective social network, whereby the content of the newsfeed is transmitted to your browser and integrated by it into the displayed website. Through the activation, the information that you have visited our website is transmitted to the operator of the respective social network. If you are logged into the respective social network via your personal user account during your visit to our website, the social network can assign the website visit to your account. This applies regardless of whether you actually use the newsfeed after activation. By interacting with the newsfeed, e.g. by leaving a comment, this corresponding information is transmitted directly to the respective social network and stored there. The legal basis for the data transmission to the respective social network is your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 a) DSGVO), which you give by activating the respective newsfeed. We would like to point out that we have no influence on the scope of the data collected by the social networks by means of the news feeds. The scope and the purposes of data processing pursued by the social networks as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy can be found in the data protection notices of the respective social networks.

Furthermore, we use your e-mail address exclusively for sending the newsletter. If you register for our newsletter, we log your IP address, the date and the time of your registration for verification purposes. The data collected when you subscribe to the newsletter will not be merged with other data collected via our website unless you have given us your consent to do so.
