In order to capture statistics on the use of our website and to evaluate usage for the purposes of optimizing the site, we also use Google Ads conversion tracking. This involves Google Ads placing a cookie (see 4) on your computer when you land on our website via a Google ad.
These cookies are valid only for thirty days and cannot be used to identify you. If the user visits certain pages of the website of a Google Ads customer and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can establish that the user has clicked on the ad and been forwarded to the page in question.
Every Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies, therefore, cannot be tracked via the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to produce conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who use conversion tracking. These customers can ascertain the total number of users who have clicked on their ad and been taken to a page in which a conversion tracking tag is embedded. The cookies do not, however, contain any information that can be used to identify users personally.
