Google Conversion Tracking is an analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; Google). <br>When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is stored on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity period and contain a pseudonymous identifier. If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to that page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. This means it is not possible to track cookies across the websites of Ads customers.<br\/>The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics. This allows us to determine the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.      <\/div><div><p>In addition, we use the remarketing feature of Google Ads.
