Use of the ADCELL partner program
We use the "ADCELL" partner program of Firstlead GmbH (Rosenfelder Str. 15-16, 10315 Berlin; "ADCELL").
ADCELL and we are joint controllers for the collection of your data and the transmission of this data to ADCELL when the service is integrated.

The cookies serve the purpose of correct billing within the partner program by recording the success of an advertising medium. The cookies recognize that you clicked on the advertisement and the origin of the order from the advertiser can be traced. ADCELL also uses so-called tracking pixels.

Among other things, ADCELL can recognize that the partner link on this website has been clicked.
