This tool establishes direct contact between the networks and users only after users click on one of these buttons.
This tool does not automatically transfer user data to the operators of these platforms. If users are logged into one or more of the social networks, the Like, +1, and Share buttons will display an information window in which the user can edit the text before it is sent.
Our users can share the content of this page on social networks without their providers creating profiles of users’ surfing behavior.
Facebook plugins (Like & Share buttons)
Our website includes plugins for the social network Facebook, Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA. The Facebook plugins can be recognized by the Facebook logo or the Like button on our site. For an overview of Facebook plugins, see https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
When you visit our site, a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server is established via the plugin. This enables Facebook to receive information that you have visited our site from your IP address. If you click on the Facebook “Like button” while you are logged into your Facebook account, you can link the content of our site to your Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to associate visits to our site with your user account.

Retargeting
The 4Players websites use retargeting technologies such as Pixel from Facebook Ireland Limited. We use this technology to make our online presence more interesting for you. This technology enables users of the Internet who are already interested in 4Players to be targeted with advertising on websites of our partners. We are confident that a mix of a personalised, interest-based advertising is generally more interesting for users of the Internet than advertising which has no such personal basis. This advertising is incorporated into the websites of our partners on the basis of cookie technology and an analysis of previous usage behaviour. This form of advertising is completely anonymous. No personal data is stored and no usage profile will be associated with your personal data.

The cookies are used for the purpose of creating pseudonymized user profiles. If you want to prevent your user behavior from being analyzed, you can use your browser settings to block the “4players.de” domain from creating cookies on your device.

This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”).
As part of Google AdWords, we use so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that your internet browser stores on your computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification of the user. Should the user visit certain pages of the website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the website can tell that the user clicked on the ad and proceeded to that page.
Each Google AdWords advertiser has a different cookie. Thus, cookies cannot be tracked using the website of an AdWords advertiser. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for the AdWords advertisers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, advertisers do not obtain any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can opt-out of this by easily disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie by changing your browser settings. In doing so, you will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
Conversion cookies are stored based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its website and its advertising.
For more information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking, see the Google Privacy Policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser.

If you do not pay outstanding invoices despite repeated reminders, we are entitled to transfer the data required to collect a debt to a debt collection service provider in order to collect the debt on our behalf. Alternatively, we may sell outstanding receivables to a debt collection service provider. The latter then becomes the owner of the claim and asserts the claims in his own name. We cooperate with the following debt collection service provider: REAL Solution Inkasso GmbH & Co. KG, Normannenweg 32, 20537 Hamburg, Germany.
The data protection regulations for this service provider can be viewed here: Privacy Policy
The lawful basis for the transmission of data in connection with the collection of a debt is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The transmission of data in connection with the sale of receivables is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
