8. Google Ads Conversion Tracking

In order to draw the attention of potential users and customers to our website, we use the online advertising program "Google Ads" and, in the context of Google Ads, conversion tracking, an analysis service of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google").

Google Ads sets a cookie on your computer ("conversion cookie"), if you have reached our website via a Google ad. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not expired, we and Google can recognize that someone has clicked on the ad and thus been redirected to our site. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. As a result, cookies cannot be tracked across the web pages of Google Ads customers.

The information collected through the conversion cookie is used to compile conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted into conversion tracking. Google ads customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they don't receive information that personally identifies users.

If you don't want to participate in tracking, you can opt-out of this cookie by visiting the OneTrust cookie bot on our website and choosing not to accept the cookie, or by changing your browser setting to generally disable the automatic placement of cookies. You can also disable cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain "googleadservices.com".
