The information generated by cookies about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on these websites, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there.

These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not expired yet, we and Google may recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked through the websites of advertisers.
Conversion cookie information is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords advertisers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users.

Google Web Fonts enables us to use external fonts, so-called Google Fonts. For this purpose, the required Google Font is loaded into the browser cache by your web browser when you access our website. This is necessary so that your browser can display a visually improved representation of our texts. If your browser does not support this function, a standard font will be used by your computer for display. The integration of these web fonts is done by a server call, usually at a Google server in the USA. This transmits to the server which of our Internet pages you have visited. The IP address of the browser of your terminal device is also stored by Google. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected and processed by Google through the use of Google Web Fonts.

Google Doubleclick

Our website also uses other services of the Google Marketing Platform (formerly "Google Doubleclick"). These services use cookies to serve ads that are relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent a user from being served ads more than once.
Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed more than once. In addition, Google can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions, i.e. whether a user sees an ad and later calls up the advertiser's website and purchases something there. According to Google, these cookies do not contain any personal information.
Your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this service. According to Google, by integrating these services, 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 user account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is the possibility that the provider learns your IP address and stores it.
In addition, cookies allow us to understand whether you take certain actions on our website after you have accessed or clicked (conversion tracking) on one of our ads on Google or on another platform ("Floodlight"). Google uses this cookie to understand the content you have interacted with on our websites in order to later send you targeted advertising.
You can prevent the tracking process by making the appropriate setting in your browser software (e.g. disabling third-party cookies), disabling cookies for conversion tracking by blocking cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com in your browser settings, regarding interest-based ads from the providers that are part of the self-regulatory campaign "About Ads" via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices or under the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/. We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this offer to their full extent.
