This website uses the online marketing tool DoubleClick by Google from the operator Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("DoubleClick").
DoubleClick uses cookies to display ads relevant to users, improve campaign performance reports or prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed multiple times. The processing is based on our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our website in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
In addition, DoubleClick may use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later visits the advertiser's website with the same browser and makes a purchase there. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personal information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google's server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data that Google collects through the use of this tool and therefore inform you on the basis of our knowledge: Through the integration of DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or are not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will find out and store your IP address.
If you wish to object to participating in this tracking process, you can deactivate conversion tracking cookies by setting your browser to block cookies from the www.googleadservices.com domain, https://www.google.de/settings/ads, with this setting being removed when you delete your cookies. You can also obtain information on cookie setting from the Digital Advertising Alliance at the internet address www.aboutads.info and make settings for this purpose.
