Essential cookies
These are cookies that we need in order to provide you with a properly functioning website and to enable you to use the homepage we provide.

Analytical and performance cookies
These cookies help us measure traffic to individual pages on the homepage to determine which areas of our website have been visited. We use this to identify a visitor’s habits so that we can improve our online products and services. We may log IP addresses (the electronic addresses of computers connected to the Internet) to analyse trends, administer the website, track users’ movements and gather broad demographic information.

These cookies are not essential to the website and we will therefore ask for your consent before activating these cookies. You can withdraw your consent at any time.

The list below shows the cookies we have installed that are not strictly necessary and require your consent.

Facebook Conversion Tracking Pixel
This tool allows us to track the actions of users after they have been redirected to a provider website after clicking on a Facebook ad. This allows us to track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes. The data collected remains anonymous. This means that we cannot see an individual user’s personal data. However, the collected data is stored and processed by Facebook. We inform you about this according to our information. Facebook is able to connect the data to your Facebook account and use the data for their own advertising purposes, in accordance with Facebook’s privacy policy.

Facebook Conversion Tracking also allows Facebook and its partners to show you ads on and off Facebook. In addition, a cookie is stored on your computer for these purposes. By using the website, you agree to the data of the Facebook pixel integration.

Google Ads and Conversion Tracking

In order to draw attention to our products and services, we place Google Adwords ads and use Google Conversion Tracking for the purpose of personalised, interest- and location-based online advertising. The option to anonymise IP addresses is controlled by an internal setting in the Google Tag Manager, which is not visible in the source of this page. This internal setting is set in such a way that the anonymisation of IP addresses is achieved.

The ads are displayed after search queries on websites of the Google advertising network. We have the option to combine our ads with specific search terms. Cookies allow us to serve ads based on a user’s previous visits to our website.

When a user clicks on an ad, Google sets a cookie on the user’s computer. Further information on the cookie technology used can also be found in Google’s notes on website statistics and in the privacy policy.

With the help of this technology, Google and we as a customer receive information about the fact that a user has clicked on an advertisement and has been forwarded to our web pages. The information obtained in this way is used exclusively for statistical analysis to optimise advertisements. We do not receive any information with which visitors can be personally identified. The statistics provided to us by Google include the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and, if applicable, whether they were redirected to a page on our website that was tagged with a conversion tag. These statistics allow us to track which search terms were clicked on particularly often and which ads lead to the user contacting us via the contact form.

Google Analytics and Conversion Tracking
This website uses Google Analytics. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will evaluate your use of the website in order to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with further services relating to website activity and internet usage.

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser add-on. If you click here, an opt-out cookie will be set to prevent future collection of your data when visiting this website: Privacy Center.

In addition, we use Google Conversion Tracking in connection with Google Analytics. This enables us to record the behaviour of our website visitors. We are also shown how many clicks on advertisements from external sources have led to our website. To opt-out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites visit http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

HubSpot
We use the services of the software manufacturer HubSpot. HubSpot is a service platform. The service used is an integrated software solution that allows us to manage customer data and cover various aspects of our online marketing. This includes, among other things, the analysis of landing pages and reporting. So-called “web beacons” are used and cookies are stored on the end device you use.

In the process, the following personal data may be collected, for example, IP address, geographical location, type of browser, duration of the visit, pages viewed. The information collected as well as the content of our website is stored on servers of our software partner HubSpot. We use HubSpot to analyse the use of our website. This enables us to constantly optimise our website and make it more user-friendly. We also use the information to determine which of our company’s services are of interest to customers and to contact them for advertising purposes. In addition, we use the analysis to optimise our website for you.

However, we only use your IP address in a shortened version. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online offer by the users may also be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The processing takes place on the basis of EU standard contractual clauses. Through this, HubSpot offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law.

LinkedIn Conversion Tracking
The Overdose. website uses the analysis and conversion tracking technology of the LinkedIn platform. With the aforementioned technology from LinkedIn, you can be shown more relevant advertising based on your interests. Overdose. also receives aggregated and anonymous reports from LinkedIn of ad activity and information about how you interact with the Overdose. website.
