It ensures that Google shortens your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission to the USA. There may be exceptions in which Google transfers the full IP address to a server in the USA and shortens it there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to create reports on website activity and to provide us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. There is no combination of the IP address transmitted by Google Analytics with other data from Google.

Every Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies are not traceable through AdWords customer websites. Conversion cookies are used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who use conversion tracking. Adwords customers learn how many users clicked on their ad and were directed to pages with conversion tracking tags. However, AdWords customers do not receive information that personally identifies them. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you may opt out. The conversion cookie must be deactivated in the browser’s user settings. This also prevents the cookie from being included in the conversion tracking statistics.

“Conversion Cookies” are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. As website operators, we have a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise our website and our advertising.
