Google AdWords
Our website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you have reached our website via an ad placed by Google, Google AdWords sets a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad served by Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can see that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be traced through the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers see the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, you will not receive any information that personally identifies users.
If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this – for example via browser settings that generally deactivate the automatic setting of cookies or set your browser so that cookies are blocked by the “googleleadservices.com” domain.
Please note that you may not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not wish measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies in your browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.
Use of Google Remarketing
This website uses the remarketing function of Google Inc. This makes it possible to present interest-related advertising to website visitors within Google’s advertising network. For this purpose, a so-called “cookie” is stored on the visitor’s computer. The string contained in it serves to recognize a visitor when he or she visits websites that are part of the Google advertising network. This may include advertisements that refer to content previously viewed on websites that use Google Remarketing.
Google uses the so-called “DoubleClick” cookie for this purpose. This is the same cookie that is used on websites that run advertising programs from Google subsidiary DoubleClick. No advertising from third parties is placed on our pages. The DoubleClick cookie is used here for remarketing purposes only.
Google does not collect any personal data with the remarketing function according to its own statements. However, if you do not wish Google to use the “interest-based advertising” function, you can always deactivate it in the settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads Alternatively, you can also configure your browser so that it accepts no cookies or only certain cookies. Please note that this may limit the functionality and convenience of websites.
