These are text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the website .

We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization. In this case, Google’s IP address is shortened within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area , which can prevent it from being personally identifiable.

8. Google Ads
The controller has integrated Google Ads on this website. Google Ads is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads both in Google search engine results and in the Google advertising network. Google Ads enables an advertiser to pre-define certain keywords by means of which an ad is only displayed in Google search engine results when the user uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed on topic -relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and taking into account the previously defined keywords . The operator of the Google Ads services is Google Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The purpose of Google Ads is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine, as well as by displaying third-party advertising on our website. If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on the information technology system of the data subject by Google. A conversion cookie expires after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. The conversion cookie is used to track whether certain sub-pages of our website, such as the shopping cart of an online shop system, were accessed, provided the cookie has not yet expired. The conversion cookie enables both us and Google to track whether a data subject who reached our website via an Ads ad generated sales, i.e. completed or canceled a purchase. The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to compile visit statistics for our website. We, in turn, use these visit statistics to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via Ads advertisements, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective advertisement and to optimize our advertisements for the future. Neither our company nor other Google Ads advertising customers receive information from Google that could be used to identify the data subject . Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR based on your consent. The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject. With each visit to our website, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is therefore transmitted to Google. This personal data may be stored by Google in the USA. The data subject can, as already explained above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Ads can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs . Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. To do so, the data subject must click on the link www.google.de/settings/ads and make the desired settings there. Further information and Google’s applicable privacy policy can be found at Google Policies DE Privacy can be retrieved.
