We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data from the advertising campaigns. We are interested in showing you advertisements which are of interest to you, in making our website more interesting for you and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.

(2) This advertising media is delivered by Google via “AdServers”. For this purpose, we use ad server cookies, through which certain parameters for measuring success can be measured, such as the display of advertisements or of clicks by users. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google AdWords will store a cookie on your device. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and are not used with the intention of personally identifying you. The unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (a mark that the user no longer wishes to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values for this cookie.

(3) These cookies enable Google to recognize your Internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of an AdWords customer’s website and the cookie stored on their computer has not expired, both Google and the customer are able to recognize that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to this page. Each AdWords customer is assigned a different cookie. Thus, cookies cannot be tracked using the website of an AdWords advertiser.We do not process any personal data ourselves in the aforementioned advertising measures.We only receive statistical evaluations from Google.We are able to recognize which of the advertising measures are particularly effective on the basis of these evaluations.We do not receive any further data from the use of advertising material; in particular, we cannot identify users on the basis of this information.
