5. Usage of Google AdWords Conversion Tracking
This website uses the online advertising program "Google AdWords" and conversion tracking within the scope of Google AdWords. The cookie for conversion tracking is set if a user clicks on an advertisement created by Google. Cookies are small text files that are saved on your computer system. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and do not have the purpose of personal identification. If the user visits certain pages from this website and the cookie has not yet expired, both we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the advertisement and was forwarded to this site. Every Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked through the websites from AdWords customers. The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookies helps to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have decided for conversion tracking. The customers find out the total number of users that clicked on their advertisement and were forwarded to a website equipped with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not contain any information that can be used to identify users. If you would not like to participate in the tracking, you can refuse this usage by easily disabling the Google conversion tracking cookie through your internet browser under user settings. Then you will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
