Google

We use Google Maps for maps, locations and route planning.  Google Maps is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States. By embedding Google Maps your IP address is transferred directly to Google and a cookie stored as soon as you visit this kind of website. You can obtain information and opt out at any time from data processing by Google at http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

We use the remarketing and Google AdWords function from Google Inc. (“Google”) on our websites. This function is implemented via a cookie and is used to present website users with web advertising tailored to their interests as part of the Google advertising network. If you do not want to use Google’s remarketing function, you can disable this permanently by adjusting the relevant settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively you can disable the use of cookies for targeted advertising via the advertising network initiative by following the instructions at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp. Further information on Google remarketing and Google’s privacy policy is available at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=en

If you access our websites via a Google ad, Google AdWords stores a cookie on your computer. This cookie becomes invalid after 30 days. We use the information collected with the aid of this conversion cookie to create statistics about our conversion rate. This means that we find out how many users came to our websites via a Google ad. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can disable cookies for conversion tracking by specifying in your browser settings that cookies from the relevant domain are to be blocked: Google AdWords: googleadservices.com

Facebook

We use the Facebook service Customer Audience and the Facebook pixel on our websites to optimize our advertising offering, provided you have given the relevant consent to Facebook. Further information on these Facebook services and data privacy information from Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”) can be accessed under the link https://www.facebook.com/policy.php

If you use a Facebook User Account, the set Facebook cookie makes the Facebook pixel aware of this on our websites. The same cookie is used to transfer the collected usage data to Facebook for analysis and marketing purposes. You can check and/or disable directly via Facebook the way in which Facebook collects, further processes and uses this data. The Facebook pixel is a JavaScript code which transfers the following data to Facebook:

• HTTP header information (including IP address, web browser information, page storage location, document, website URL and web browser user agent, as well as date and time of use)
• Pixel-specific data; this includes the pixel ID and Facebook cookie data, including your Facebook ID (this data is used to link events to a certain Facebook advertising account and to assign them to a Facebook user)
• Additional information on visiting our websites, as well as on standard- and user-defined data events.
  • Orders placed (sales transactions)
  • Registrations and trial subscriptions completed
  • Products searched, product information accessed

The aforementioned data processing only affects users that have a Facebook account or have accessed a Facebook partner page (whereby a cookie was set). The playing out of advertising on Facebook (partner) pages on the basis of the Customer Audience service does not affect any users that are not Facebook members. If the Facebook ID included in the Facebook cookie can be assigned to a Facebook user, Facebook assigns this user to a target group (Custom Audience) on the basis of the rules stipulated by us, provided the rules are relevant. We use the information obtained in this way to present Deutsche Telekom advertising on Facebook (partner) pages.

If you would like to opt out from using the Facebook pixel, you can set an opt-out cookie on Facebook or disable JavaScript in your browser. Further information along with setting options for protecting your personal privacy for advertising purposes is available from the Facebook privacy guidelines at https://www.facebook.com/ads/website_custom_audiences/.
