If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google, and we, can recognize that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to this page.

Customers will find out the total number of users who clicked on their ad and have been redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, you will not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by easily disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via your Internet browser under User Settings.

DoubleClick uses cookies to run ads that are relevant to users, improve campaign performance reports, or avoid a user seeing the same ads multiple times. Using a cookie ID, Google records which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed multiple times. In addition, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to capture so-called conversions related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, if a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later uses the same browser to visit the advertiser’s website and buy something there. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personal information.

(2) Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server.

Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will find out and store your IP address.

(3) You can prevent participation in this tracking procedure in several ways: a) by setting your browser software accordingly the suppression of third-party cookies will prevent you from receiving third-party ads b) by disabling cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the “www.googleadservices.com” domain, https://www.google.de/settings/ads, this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies c) by disabling the interest-based advertisements of providers that are part of the “About Ads” self-regulatory campaign, http://www.aboutads.info/choices via the link, this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies d) by permanently deactivating Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome in your browsers, http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin.
