ONLINE MARKETING
10.1 DoubleClick by Google
This website utilizes the online marketing tool DoubleClick by Google, operated by Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("DoubleClick").

DoubleClick uses cookies to display relevant ads to users, improve campaign performance reports, or prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. Through a cookie ID, Google records which ads are displayed in which browser and can prevent them from being shown repeatedly. The processing is based on our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our website according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Additionally, DoubleClick can capture conversions using cookie IDs, which are related to ad requests. This occurs, for example, when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later, using the same browser, visits the advertiser's website and makes a purchase. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain personally identifiable information.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google's server. We have no influence on the extent and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you to the best of our knowledge: By integrating DoubleClick, Google receives information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible for the provider to obtain and store your IP address.

If you wish to opt-out of this tracking procedure, you can disable cookies for conversion tracking by adjusting your browser settings to block cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com, https://www.google.de/settings/ads, although this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies.

We can determine how successful individual advertising measures are in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns. We pursue the interest of displaying advertisements that are of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you, and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.

The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an AdWords ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer system. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and do not serve for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Therefore, cookies cannot be tracked through the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained through the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag.
