XIV. Google Ads
We use the service on our website.
The service enables us to draw attention to our offers with the help of advertising media on external websites. This enables us to determine how successful individual advertising measures are. These advertising media are delivered by the provider via so-called “AdServers”. For this purpose, we use so-called AdServer cookies, through which certain parameters for measuring success, such as display of ads or clicks by users, can be measured. If you access our website via a corresponding advertisement, a cookie is stored on your PC by the service. They are not intended to identify you personally. The following information is usually stored as analysis values for this cookie: unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed). These cookies allow the provider to recognize your web browser. If a user visits certain pages of the website and the cookie stored on his computer has not yet expired, the provider and the site operator can recognize that the user has clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. A different cookie is assigned to each page operator. Cookies can therefore not be traced through the websites of other site operators. We ourselves do not collect and process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We only receive statistical evaluations from the provider. These evaluations enable us to identify which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising media; in particular, we cannot identify users on the basis of this information. Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the provider’s server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by the provider through the use of the service. To the best of our knowledge, the provider receives the information that you have called up the relevant part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you have a user account with the provider and are registered, the provider can assign the visit to your user account. Even if you are not registered with the provider or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider may obtain and store your IP address.
We use the service for marketing and optimization purposes, in particular to display relevant and interesting ads for you and thus to improve our offer, to make it more interesting for you as a user and to avoid annoying ads.
