Online marketing

Use of Google AdWords conversion tracking:

This website uses the online advertising program "Google AdWords" and conversion tracking under Google AdWords from Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). We use Google's services to make you aware of our attractive services on external websites using advertisements (called Google AdWords). We can determine how successful our individual advertising measures are in relation to data from advertising campaigns. Our purpose in doing so is to show you ads that are of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you, and to calculate advertising costs fairly. A cookie is saved for conversion tracking when a user clicks on an AdWords advertisement placed by Google. Cookies are small text files saved on your computer system. These cookies typically become invalid after 30 days and are not used to personally identify you. If the user visits certain parts of this website, and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can see that the user clicked on the ad and was transferred to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a unique cookie. Therefore, cookies cannot be tracked through AdWords customer websites. Information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ads and were transferred to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that could be used to personally identify users. If you do not want to take part in tracking, you can block this use by deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie using the user settings on your web browser. Afterwards, you will no longer be included in conversion tracking statistics. We use Google AdWords based on our justifiable interest in targeted advertisement under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
