Use of Google Adwords Conversion / Remarketing
We possibly use the offer of Google Adwords to draw attention to our offers by means of advertising material (so-called Google Adwords) on external websites. In relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. In this way, we pursue the interest in showing you advertising that is of interest to you, to increase the attractiveness of our website for you and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs. The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO.
These advertising media are delivered by Google via so-called «Ad Servers». For this purpose, we use ad server cookies, through which certain parameters can be measured to measure success, such as display of the ads or clicks by the users. If you reach our website via a Google ad, Google Adwords will store a cookie in your PC. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally. For this cookie, the unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be contacted) are usually stored as analysis values.
These cookies enable Google to recognize your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages on an Adwords client’s website and the cookie stored on their computer has not expired, Google and the client can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. Each Adwords client is assigned a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked through the websites of Adwords clients. We ourselves collect and process.
Based on these evaluations, we can identify which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising material, in particular we cannot identify the users on the basis of this information.
Due to the marketing tools we may use, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge: Through the integration of AdWords Conversion, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will find out your IP address and save it.
You can prevent participation in this tracking procedure in various ways:
– by adjusting your browser software accordingly, in particular by suppressing third-party cookies, so that you do not receive advertisements from third-party providers,
– by disabling cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain «www.googleadservices.com«, www.google.de/settings/ads , this setting will be cleared when you delete your cookies,
– by deactivating the interest-based ads of the providers that are part of the self-regulation campaign «About Ads» via the link www.aboutads.info/choices, whereby this setting is deleted when you delete your cookies,
– by permanently deactivating it in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browser under the link www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this offer to their full extent.
