10. ONLINE MARKETING
10.1 DoubleClick by Google
This website uses the online marketing tool DoubleClick by Google, operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("DoubleClick").
DoubleClick uses cookies to serve relevant ads to users, improve campaign performance reports, or prevent users from seeing the same ads repeatedly. Google uses a cookie ID to track which ads are shown in which browser and can prevent the same ad from being displayed multiple times. The processing is based on our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our website according to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
In addition, DoubleClick can track conversions using cookie IDs, which are related to ad requests. For example, this occurs when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later visits the advertiser's website using the same browser and makes a purchase. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain personal information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google's servers. We have no influence over the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you as follows: By integrating DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or clicked on one of our ads. 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, there is a possibility that the provider will collect and store your IP address.
If you do not wish to participate in this tracking process, you can disable cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com, Google Ads Settings, although this setting will be deleted if you clear your cookies. Alternatively, you can learn more about cookie placement and make settings via the Digital Advertising Alliance at www.aboutads.info. Finally, you can configure your browser to inform you when cookies are being set and decide on their acceptance individually or exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or generally. Not accepting cookies may limit the functionality of our website.
Google LLC, based in the USA, is certified under the US-EU Privacy Shield framework, which ensures compliance with the level of data protection required in the EU.

10.2 Use of Google AdWords Conversion Tracking
This website uses the online advertising program "Google AdWords" and the conversion tracking feature provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). We use Google AdWords to advertise our attractive offers on external websites through ads (so-called Google AdWords). Based on the data from the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. The goal is to show you ads that are relevant to your interests, make our website more interesting for you, and ensure a fair calculation of advertising costs.
A conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an AdWords ad. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer system. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and are not used 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 directed to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie, meaning cookies cannot be tracked across different AdWords customers' websites. The information collected by the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who opted for conversion tracking. The customers will know the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag, but they will not receive information that allows personal identification.
If you do not wish to participate in conversion tracking, you can block the use of Google Conversion Tracking cookies by adjusting the settings in your internet browser. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. We use Google AdWords based on our legitimate interest in targeted advertising under Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

In exceptional cases, the full IP address may be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. In such exceptional cases, this processing is carried out based on our legitimate interest in statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes, in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
