Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking
This website uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”).
As part of Google Ad, we use so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification of the user. Should the user visit certain pages of the website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the website operator can tell that someone clicked on the ad and proceeded to that page.
Each Google Ad advertiser receives a different cookie. Thus, cookies cannot be tracked via the website of an Ad advertiser. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Ad advertisers who have opted for conversion tracking. Ads customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, advertisers do not obtain any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can opt-out of this by easily disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie by adjusting your browser settings. In doing so, you then will no longer be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
Conversion cookies are stored pursuant to Article 6 (1) lit. f of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its website and its advertising.
For more information about Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking, see Google’s Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
