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 display ads relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. Through a cookie ID, Google captures which ads are placed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed multiple times. Processing is based on our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our website pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. In addition, DoubleClick can capture conversions using cookie IDs that relate to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later uses the same browser to visit the advertiser's website and make 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 server. We have no influence on the extent and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you to the best of our knowledge: By integrating DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will obtain and store your IP address.

We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns. Our aim is to show you ads that are of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.

If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across AdWords customers' websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were directed to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can block this usage by disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie in your Internet browser's user settings.
