When a user visits specific pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can identify that the user has clicked on the advertisement and has been directed to this page.
Every Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked using the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained with the help of the conversion-cookie is used to create conversion-statistics for AdWords customers, who have opted-in to conversion tracking. In this way, customers learn how many users who clicked on their ad have then been redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, they do not receive any information that could be used to identify any particular user. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this by disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie in your browser settings. As a result, you will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
The legal basis for storage of conversion cookies is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour aimed at optimising its website and its advertising.
For more information about Google AdWords and Google conversion tracking, please refer to Google’s privacy policy at http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.
You can set your browser to notify you every time before storing cookies and decide on a case-by-case basis, whether to accept them. You can also limit the acceptance of cookies to certain cases, block the acceptance of cookies altogether or enable automatic deletion of cookies when you close the browser. If you disable cookies you may not be able to use all the functions and features of our website.
