Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program of Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

As part of Google Ads, we use conversion tracking. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files placed on the user’s computer by the internet browser. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked across websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by easily disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The storage of “conversion cookies” and the use of this tracking tool are based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its website and advertising. If consent has been requested (e.g., consent to store cookies), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

For more information about Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking, see Google’s privacy policy:
https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

You can configure your browser to inform you about cookie settings, allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude cookies for specific cases or in general, and activate automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

The processing of data entered into the newsletter registration form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of data, the email address, and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provide for newsletter subscription will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after unsubscribing. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected.

After unsubscribing from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored in a blocklist by us or the newsletter service provider to prevent future mailings. Data in the blocklist is used solely for this purpose and not combined with other data. This serves both your interests and our compliance with legal requirements for newsletter delivery (legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). Storage in the blocklist is not time-limited.
