Using the Pinterest tag
We use the Pinterest tag of Pinterest Europe Limited (Palmerston House, 2nd, Fenian Street, Floor, Dublin 2, Ireland "Pinterest") on our website.
This application is designed to target website visitors with interest-based advertising on the social network Pinterest. To achieve this, the Pinterest conversion tag has been implemented on the website. This tag establishes a direct connection to Pinterest's servers when you visit the website.

When you access our website via a pin on the social network Pinterest, a conversion tracking cookie is placed on your computer. These cookies have a limited lifespan, do not contain any personal data, and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Pinterest and we can recognize that you clicked on the pin and were redirected to this page. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics and thus optimize our website. This may include, among other things, the following information: the total number of users who clicked on one of our pins and were redirected to our website, the subpages visited on our website (e.g., category or product pages), search queries on our website, your shopping cart contents, and completed transactions.
