This website uses the online advertising programme “Google AdWords” from Google and its conversion tracking. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits specific pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can see that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. It is therefore not possible to track cookies through the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to compile conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who have clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they receive no information with which users can be personally identified. Users who do not wish to participate in tracking can easily disable the Google conversion tracking cookie on their Internet browser under user settings.
