If you click on an ad placed by Google, the conversion tracking we use saves a cookie on your terminal device. These so-called conversion cookies lose their validity after 30 days and do not serve to identify you personally.

Through the information collected in this way, Google provides us with statistics about the visit to our website. In addition, this provides us with information about the number of users who clicked on our ad(s) and about the pages of our website that were subsequently accessed. However, neither we nor third parties who also use Google AdWords will be able to identify you in this way.

You can also prevent or restrict the installation of cookies through the appropriate settings of your Internet browser. At the same time, you can delete already stored cookies at any time. However, the steps and measures required for this depend on your specific Internet browser used. Therefore, if you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support.
