GOOGLE ADWORDS CONVERSION TRACKING

This website also uses the Google Conversion Tracking. Google AdWords sets a cookie on your computer in case you have found our website via a Google ad. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and will not be used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the AdWords customer’s website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer will be able to recognize that the user clicked on the ad and has been redirected to these pages. Every AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Thus, cookies can not be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information gathered by the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. AdWords customers will get to know the total number of users who clicked on their ad and who were redirected to their page set up with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not include information that could personally identify the users. You can also refuse to participate in the tracking process by adjusting the required setting of a cookie – for example, via a browser setting that generally disables the automatic use of cookies. You can also disable cookies for the conversion tracking process by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com. Google’s Conversion Tracking Privacy Policy can be found at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
