Hence, your data can be analysed across devices if you have enabeled "personalised advertising" in your account settings and your end devices are linked to your Google account. This makes it possible to identify which device is searching for products and then return to complete purchases on another device, such as a tablet.The cross-device reports created in this context contain only aggregated data. We therefore only receive statistics generated on the basis of Google Signals. To prevent Google Signals from collecting and storing data across devices, you can deactivate the "personalised advertising" function in your Google Account settings. For more information, please visit https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de. For more information on data processing and data protection for Google Signals, please visit https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=en.

We use the extended implementation of the consent mode (Advanced Consent Mode). In this case, user data is transmitted to Google in the form of "pings" even if consent has not been granted. These pings may contain the following information, among others: IP address to derive the IP country (the IP address is not logged), date and time of the page view, URL of the pages visited, user agent, referrer URL (website from which you accessed our website) or information about the triggering of website events such as a conversion. On the basis of this information, Google models user data in order to be able to carry out a comprehensive usage analysis despite the refusal of consent.


The information generated by this about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Google has certified itself in accordance with the TADPF and has thus undertaken to comply with European data protection principles.
Both Google and US government agencies have access to your data.

Use of Google Ads conversion tracking
Our website uses the online marketing program "Google Ads", including conversion tracking (evaluation of user actions). Google conversion tracking is a service operated by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; "Google").
If you click on adverts placed by Google, a cookie is placed on your computer for conversion tracking. These cookies have limited validity, do not contain any personal data and thus cannot be used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognise that you have clicked on the advert and were forwarded to this page. Every Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. It is therefore not possible to track cookies relating to the websites of Ads customers.
The information collected using the conversion cookie serves the purpose of producing conversion statistics.

When you visit Pinterest, you will then be shown personalised, interest-related Pinterest ads. If you reach our website via a Pin on the Pinterest social network, a cookie for conversion tracking is placed on your computer.

Use of Linkster

On this site, we use the tracking technology of Linkster GmbH, Colonnaden 5, 20354 Hamburg, Germany, to measure and visualize insights into partnerships and advertising channels. This is a function for measuring the efficiency of the respective advertising measures. Furthermore, the information enables us to assign advertising successes for billing purposes with the respective advertising partners. When you click on an ad integration, cookies are set in your browser, which are read in the event of a transaction. At each touchpoint, your browser sends an HTTP request to the Linkster server, transmitting certain information. This information includes the URL of the website on which the advertising material is placed (referrer URL), the browser identifier (user agent) of your device (including information about the device type and operating system), the IP address of the device (this IP address is anonymized and hashed by us before storage), HTTP headers (data packets automatically transmitted by your browser containing various technical information), the time of the request and, if previously stored on the device, the cookie with its content.
A cookie is a small data packet exchanged between your browser and the server. Information relevant to the web application can be stored and transmitted in this data packet, e.g., the contents of a virtual shopping cart.
The tracking technology stores cookies on your device to document actions. A 24-character anonymous ID is stored in the cookie. Linked to this ID, the data is stored encrypted in our database on the server.
This contains information about the last touchpoints (i.e., when a specific advertising medium was displayed or clicked by a device). The stored touchpoints can, if necessary, be assembled into a sequence chain (user journey).
In the event of an action request, the order number and the shopping cart value of your order are usually also transmitted and stored by us. In addition, the following values can be transmitted and stored: your customer number, new customer attribute, your age and gender, as well as the information you provided in a customer survey.
The cookies stored by Linkster GmbH are deleted after 30 days at the latest. The information transmitted to us and the cookies serve exclusively for the purpose of correctly attributing the success of an advertising medium and the corresponding billing, and are justified by our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
If you do not want cookies to be stored in your browser, you can achieve this by configuring your browser settings accordingly. You can disable the saving of cookies in your respective browser under Extras/Internet Options, restrict them to certain websites, or set your browser to notify you as soon as a cookie is sent. Please note, however, that in this case, you must expect a limited presentation of the online offers and restricted user navigation. You can also delete cookies at any time. In this case, the information stored in them will be removed from your device.
The collection and processing of tracking data can also be deactivated by clicking on this tracking opt-out link: https://trck.linkster.co/privacy-optout.do
Access your data: https://trck.linkster.co/privacy-mydata.do
You can find details on which specific cookies are used by our tracking technology in the following overview:

  • TRS: Unique, 24-character identifier (ID) for tracking partnerships. This cookie is stored in the client browser and identifies database records containing the touchpoint data.

  • TRSCJ: Fallback cookie with rudimentary touchpoint data for tracking partnerships. This cookie contains encrypted all touchpoint data on the client browser.

  • trs_db_optout: Clicking the tracking opt-out link writes a special cookie that disables tracking in the device's current web browser. Tracking is reactivated as soon as you delete the tracking opt-out cookie.

Use of Decify

We use the web analysis service Decify on our website or on parts of our website to collect so-called zero-party data, i.e., information explicitly and voluntarily provided by our website visitors.
Decify is a web analysis service of Decify GmbH in Munich, Germany. Decify GmbH acts as a data processor for us on the basis of a data processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. Decify enables an analysis of the perception and use of the website by its visitors, as well as their preferences, intentions, and more. Decify collects data from surveys or questionnaires of the users and additionally user interactions, such as starting and submitting a survey, as well as browser and device information, such as the visitor's IP address, device type, screen resolution, user agent string configuration, and language setting. In addition, e-mail addresses and order numbers are transmitted. The collected data is used to evaluate and optimize the website and advertising/marketing measures.
Furthermore, website visitors are assigned a "Universally unique identifier" (UUID), through which Decify can track returning users of our website – without linking to their personal data. The UUID is used, for example, to avoid showing the same website visitor a survey multiple times.
In this context, personal data may be transferred to third countries that do not offer an adequate level of data protection. In this case, it is ensured that appropriate safeguards are provided for such a transfer in order to ensure an adequate level of data protection. We will provide proof of these appropriate safeguards upon request.
The legal basis for the use of Decify is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in the needs-based design of the website and in the evaluation and optimization of our marketing measures.

Use of Mable

Within our online offering, a tool provided by Mable GmbH, Kaiserstraße 88, 76133 Karlsruhe (hereinafter "Mable") is used. Mable enables us, in the interest of the users and in our own interest, to better control our data flows and to decide and control which data is passed on to third parties. It also allows us an independent evaluation of this data according to our own criteria. When we work with certain partners, e.g., for the purpose of online marketing, this often requires the integration of code components that cause a direct server connection and the collection of personal data of our website users by the partner. In this case, we often have no influence on the exact data collected or the data flows. Mable allows us to use partner programs without integrating their code into our website. In this case, a direct server connection to the website users by the third party is not required. Instead of the direct server connection, the partner receives the aggregated data, if any, from us.
For the aforementioned purpose of processing and disclosure, we process the following data of the website users: a pseudonymous user identifier; visitor behavior on websites (visitor behavior includes, among other things, data on where visitors come from, which areas of a website are visited, and how often and how long which subpages and categories are viewed). This data can be added to the information stored in your user account or collected during the ordering process, regardless of whether the purchase was completed.
The data processing takes place on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

Use of ABlyft

Name of the service: ABlyft. ABlyft is a service of Conversion Expert GmbH, Zeppelinring 52c, 24146 Kiel, Germany https://ablyft.com.

User data (IDs, etc.) is not stored. You can object to the use of ABlyft at any time by clicking on the following link: buoh.shop?ablyft_opt_out=true. Data transfer to a third country does not take place.
