Google Adwords Conversial Tracking
This website uses the online advertising program “Google AdWords” and, within this framework, conversion tracking. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not personally identifiable. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not expired, we and Google may recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was directed to that page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. As a result, cookies cannot be tracked through AdWords customer websites.
The information collected from the Conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for Conversion Tracking. Customers will know the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were directed to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they will not receive information that personally identifies users. Users who do not wish to participate in tracking can easily disable the Google Conversion Tracking cookie from their Internet browser under User Preferences. These users are not included in the conversion tracking statistics. Learn more about Google’s privacy policy: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ads/.
