This website uses the Google Tag Manager. This service allows website tags to be managed via an online interface.

Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking
This website uses Google AdWords. Part of this online advertising programme is the Google Display Network, a group of several million websites, videos and apps on which online advertising can appear. The websites are partners of Google and allow advertisers to display advertisements (e.g. text or image). To this end, this website uses cookies with the purpose of targeting visitors via remarketing campaigns with online advertising at a later date in the Google Network. To show remarketing advertisements, third-party providers such as Google use cookies based on a visit to this website. The cookies set after a visit to this site have a limited duration (e.g. 30 or 60 days) and then automatically become inactive.
You can exercise your right to object to the use of these cookies by Google by visiting the Google opt-out page at http://www.google.com/ads/preferences or by activating an opt-out cookie.
Within the framework of Google AdWords, we also use so-called conversion tracking. In order to bill advertising services and evaluate viewing statistics, a conversion cookie is set when our website is accessed through an advertisement on Google. If the user visits certain web pages on this website while the cookie is active, Google and we can recognise that the user has clicked on the ad and been redirected to this page. The information collected is used to create conversion statistics. We are only given the total number of users who clicked on our advertisement and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. We only receive anonymised information. These cookies become inactive after e.g. 30 days and are not used for personal identification.
You can find more information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking in Google's Privacy Policy.
Storing "conversion cookies" takes place on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both our website and our advertising.
