Using Google Ads conversion tracking
We use the online advertising program "Google Ads" on our website and, within this framework, conversion tracking (visit action evaluation). Google Conversion Tracking is an analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; Google).
When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is placed on your computer. These cookies have a limited lifespan, do not contain any personally identifiable information, and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. This means that cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of different Ads customers.
The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics.
