5) Use of share buttons

On our website you have the option of sharing some of the content posted to various social networks. We do not use the standard plugins provided by the network operators. This means that your personal data is not automatically passed on to them.

6) Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, “Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called cookies, text files that are stored on your computer that enable an analysis of how you use the website. The information generated by the cookie about your usage will generally be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, Google will first shorten your IP address in a member state of the European Union or in other states that are parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website, compile reports regarding website activity, and provide other services to the website operator related to website and internet usage. The IP address provided by your browser in the framework of Google Analytics will not be combined with other data from Google. You may prevent the use of cookies by selecting the corresponding setting on your browser; however, we would like to inform you that this may prevent you from fully utilising all functions provided on this website. In addition, you can prevent the data generated by the cookie and that relates to your use of the website (including your IP address) from being sent to and processed by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in found here: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the [google_analytics_optout]following link[/google_analytics_optout]. This sets an opt-out cookie which will prevent the future collection of your data when visiting this website: Deactivate Google Analytics. Please be aware that, should you delete cookies from your browser settings, the opt-out cookie may also be deleted and will need to be reactivated.

You can find more detailed information on Google’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/gb.html and at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/. Please note that, on this website, Google Analytics has been extended by the code “anonymizeIp” in order to ensure an anonymous collection of IP addresses (IP masking).

7) Google Ads with conversion tracking

In order to offer targeted advertisements, we use Google Ads and conversion tracking to measure the success of Google Ad campaigns. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimisation, and economic operation of our site.

This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland), hereinafter referred to as “Google”. With certification according to the EU-US Privacy Shield, Google guarantees compliance with EU data protection requirements when processing data in the USA (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

If you click on an ad placed by Google or its partners, the conversion tracking we use will store a cookie on your device. These so-called conversion cookies expire after 30 days and do not otherwise identify you personally. This cookie helps us and Google to identify which advertisement led you to come to our website.

All information is used to measure the success of our advertising campaigns, i.e. to determine which visitors have taken which actions on our website in response to advertisements. We find out the total number of users who have clicked on our ads and which clicks led to an action. All data is anonymised and neither we nor third parties are able to identify you with this data. You can also prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your browser. Likewise, you can use the browser to delete cookies that have already been stored. However, the steps and measures required vary, depending on the browser you use. If you have any questions, please use the help function or consult the documentation for your browser or contact its maker for support.

In addition, Google provides further information with regard to its data protection practices at

8) Google Remarketing

We use the Google remarketing programme on our website. This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland), hereinafter referred to as “Google”. By certification according to the EU-US Privacy Shield https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active, Google guarantees that the data protection requirements of the EU are also observed when processing data in the USA.

We use this feature to deliver interest-based, personalised advertising on third-party websites that also participate in Google’s advertising network. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimisation, and economic operation of our site.

Google and other third-party providers who place advertisements on websites use cookies stored on the basis of previous visits by users to this website. As soon as you visit our website, Google and other third-party providers save a cookie on your device via your browser. This cookie records both your visit and the use of our website in anonymous form. Personal data will not be passed on. If you subsequently visit a third-party website that also uses the Google advertising network, advertising may appear that refers to our website or our offers there. To permanently deactivate this function, Google offers a browser plug-in for the most common Internet browsers at https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin.

You can also deactivate cookies from certain providers, for example via http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices or http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. If you have consented to the linking of your browser history with your existing Google account, your usage behaviour may also be tracked across multiple devices through cross-device marketing, so that you may be shown interest-based, personalised advertising even if you switch devices.

By using heckertsolar.com, you agree to the processing of data collected about you by Google in the manner described here for the aforementioned purpose.Google offers further information on Google remarketing at http://www.google.com/privacy/ads/.

You also have the option to change your settings in the Privacy Centre, so that you can manage and protect your data processed by Google. Your data may also be transferred to the USA. The European Commission has passed an adequacy resolution for data transfers to the USA. For reasons that arise from your particular situation, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. To do this, you must disable the JavaScript application in your browser. However, we would like to point out that, if you do this, not all the functions of this website may be available to you to their full extent, for example, the interactive map display.

10) Use of Facebook remarketing

This website uses the Custom Audiences remarketing function of Facebook Inc. (“Facebook”). This function is used to present interest-based advertisements (“Facebook ads”) to visitors of this website as part of a visit to the Facebook social network. Facebook’s remarketing tag has been implemented on this website for this purpose. This tag is used to establish a direct connection to the Facebook servers when you visit this website. A message is sent to the Facebook server indicating that you have visited this website and Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account.
