Definitions
This section provides an overview of the terms used in this Privacy Policy. Many of the terms are taken from the law and especially in style. 4 GDPR. The legal definitions are binding. The following explanations, on the other hand, are primarily intended to serve as an understanding. The terms are sorted alphabetically.
- Visit Action Evaluation: “Conversion Tracking” is a method for determining the effectiveness of marketing activities. As a rule, a cookie is stored on the devices of the users within the websites on which the marketing measures are carried out and then retrieved again on the target website. For example, this allows us to track whether the ads we ran on other websites were successful).
- IP masking: IP masking is a method in which the last octet, i.e. the last two numbers of an IP address, is deleted so that the IP address can no longer be used to uniquely identify a person. Therefore, IP masking is a means of pseudonymising processing methods, especially in online marketing
- Interest-based and behavioral marketing: Interest- and/or behavioral marketing is when potential interests of users in advertisements and other content are predetermined as precisely as possible. This is done on the basis of information on their pre-behaviour (e.g. Visiting certain websites and staying on them, buying behavior or interacting with other users) that are stored in a so-called profile. Cookies are usually used for these purposes.
