Google Ads
Our website uses Google conversion tracking. If you have come to our website via an ad placed by Google, Google Ads sets a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad provided by Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and cannot be used to identify the user. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can detect that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to this page. Every Google Ads advertiser is given a different cookie. This means that cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers receive information on the total number of users who have clicked on their ad and have been redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. They do not, however, receive any information which would allow them to personally identify users.
If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can prevent the setting of the cookie required for that purpose – for instance, by adjusting your browser settings to disable cookies in general or setting your browser to block cookies from the “googleadservices” domain.
Please bear in mind that you must not delete the opt-out cookies if you do not want any measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all the cookies in your browser, you will need to set the relevant opt-out cookie again.

A cookie is installed on the website visitor’s browser which makes it possible to identify the user again when he or she visits sites affiliated to the Google advertising network. Visitors to these sites can be shown advertisements which refer to content that the visitor has previously accessed on websites which use the Google Remarketing function.
