This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”).

As part of Google AdWords we use the conversion tracking feature. If you click on an ad by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that the Internet browser stores on the user’s computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification of users. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, both Google and we can identify that the user has clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

Every Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be traced back to AdWords customers via the websites. The information collected with the aid of conversion cookies is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers find out how many users in total clicked on their ad and were redirected to the page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they are not given any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking you can reject utilisation thereof by simply deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie in the user settings of your Internet browser. This will ensure that you are not included in conversion tracking statistics.
