Google-Adwords

We also use the Google advertising tool Google Adwords to advertise our website. In doing so, our website uses the Conversion Tracking analysis service provided by the company Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter “Google”. If you accessed our website via a Google advert, a cookie is stored on your computer. Cookies are small text files saved on your computer by your internet browser.

If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, this allows us and Google to identify that you as a user have clicked on an advert we placed with Google and were then forwarded to our page.

Google uses the information generated by conversion cookies to create site visit statistics for our website. These statistics tell us the total number of users that have clicked on our advertisement and, furthermore, which pages of our website were then accessed by the relevant user. Neither we nor any other Google Adwords advertisers receive any information that would permit us to personally identify users.

You can prevent the installation of conversion cookies by adjusting your browser’s settings correspondingly, i.e. the browser setting that disables the automatic setting of cookies generally or blocks cookies from the domain googleadservices.com specifically.
