Terms of Use

Google Ads

This website uses “Google Ads” (formerly Google AdWords), a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as “Google”). Google Ads offers the option of using advertising materials on external websites to draw attention to attractive offers from websites you have already visited. This determines how successful individual advertising measures are. These advertising materials are delivered by Google via so-called “AdServers”. For this purpose, so-called ad server cookies are used, through which certain parameters can be measured to measure success, such as display of ads or clicks by users. If you reach our website via a Google ad, Google Ads will store a cookie on your device. These cookies usually expire after 30 days. Cookies are not used to identify you personally. This cookie is usually used to store the following information as analysis values: 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 wants to be addressed). These cookies enable Google to recognize your web browser. If a user visits certain content or pages on a Google Ads customer's website and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer is assigned a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked via the website of Google Ads customers. We ourselves do not collect or process any personal data in the advertising measures mentioned. We only receive anonymized, statistical evaluations from Google. Based on these evaluations, we can determine the effectiveness of the advertising measures used. We do not receive any further data from the use of advertising materials; in particular, we cannot identify users based on this information. Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google servers. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of Google Ads. As far as we know, Google receives the information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you have a user account with Google and are registered, Google can assign the visit to your user account. Even if you are not registered with Google or logged in, it is possible that Google will find out your IP address, store it and process it for other purposes.

We use Google Ads for marketing and optimization purposes, in particular to show you relevant and interesting advertisements, to improve evaluations of campaign performance and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs. The legal basis is the consent you have given in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a GDPR and Section 25 Paragraph 1 TTDSG.
