9. Use of Google AdWords (remarketing/conversion tracking)

(1) Our website uses Google AdWords. Google AdWords is an online advertising program operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).

(2) We use the remarketing function which is part of the Google AdWords service. The remarketing function enables us to advertise to users who have previously visited our website by showing them ads we believe they might be interested in when they visit other sites within the Google display network (Google itself, “Google ads” or other websites). To enable us to do this, we analyse the user's interaction on our website (assessing which offers the user has expressed an interest in, for example) so that we can target advertising to them on other sites even after they have left our website. Google saves a number in the browsers of users who visit certain Google services or websites within the Google display network. This number, which is referred to as a cookie, records these users' visits. It is used to uniquely identify a web browser on a specific computer and not to identify a person; personal data are not saved. You can deactivate the use of cookies by Google at any time by clicking the following link and downloading and installing the plug-in you will find there: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. You can view more detailed information about Google Remarketing and Google's privacy policy here: http://www.google.com/privacy/ads/.

(3) We also use conversion tracking in the context of Google AdWords. When you click on a Google ad, a cookie is saved on your machine for the purpose of conversion tracking. These cookies expire after 30 days. They do not contain any personal data and thus cannot be used to identify an individual person. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have chosen to use conversion tracking.

(4) You may also refuse to allow cookies to be saved by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software. However, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.
