Google Ads (formerly Google Adwords) - conversion and remarketing. We use the Google Ads tool, provided by Google Ireland Limited (registered under number: 368047) with its registered office at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. This allows us to draw attention to our content and offers using advertising materials on external websites. We analyze data from advertising campaigns in order to optimize advertising activities. Advertising materials are provided by Google using so-called "Ad Servers". For this purpose, we use server cookies, by means of which certain parameters for measuring the success of reaching recipients, such as the placement of ads or user clicks, can be measured. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Ads will store a cookie on your device. For these cookies, for the purpose of value analysis, the following are usually stored: a unique cookie ID, the number of views per ad placement (frequency), the last view (relevant for conversions after viewing) and opt-out information (indication of which user does not wish to be included further). Cookies allow Google to recognize your internet browser. We do not collect or process any personal data based on the above advertising media. We do not obtain any other data, we cannot identify users based on the information obtained. Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically initiates a connection to the Google server. Even if you are not registered with any Google service or are not logged in, it is possible that network providers may obtain and store your IP address.
We also use the Google Ads remarketing tool, which allows us to present our website users with interest-based advertising from other websites that are part of the Google advertising network. For this purpose, Google stores cookies on the browsers of users who visit certain Google services or websites in the Google Display Network to uniquely identify the browser on a specific device.
