Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking
This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).

As part of Google AdWords, we use “conversion tracking”. When you click on an ad shown by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that your internet browser stores on your computer. 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 we can tell that the user clicked on the ad and was forwarded to that page.

Each Google AdWords advertiser has a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked using the website of an AdWords customer. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for the AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, they do not obtain any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can easily opt out of this by disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie by changing your browser settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The storage of conversion cookies and the use of this tracking tool are based on Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour to optimise both its web presence and its advertising.
