”) From Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA,
(“ Google ”).

The Google Marketing Services allow us to display advertisements for and on our website in a more targeted manner in order to only present users with advertisements that potentially correspond to their interests. If, for example, a user is shown advertisements for products
that he was interested in on other websites, this is referred to as "remarketing". For these purposes, when our and other websites on which Google Marketing Services are active are accessed, Google immediately executes a code from Google and so-called (re) marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also known as "web Beacons "called) integrated into the website. With their help, the User an individual cookie, ie a small file is saved (instead of cookies, comparable technologies can also be used). The cookies can be set by various domains, including google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com or googleadservices.com. This file records which websites the user has visited, which content he is interested in and which offers he has clicked, as well as technical information on the browser and
operating system, referring websites, visiting time and other information on the use of the online offer. The IP address of the user is also recorded, whereby we in the context of by Google Analytics that the IP address will be shortened within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area and only in exceptional cases will it be completely transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address is not merged with the user's data within other Google offers. The aforementioned information can also be combined by Google with information from other sources . If the user then visits other websites, the advertisements tailored to him can be displayed according to his interests.

The user data is processed pseudonymously as part of the Google Marketing Services . This means that Google does not store and process the name or email address of the user, for example , but rather processes the relevant cookie-related data within pseudonymous
user profiles. In other words, from Google's point of view, the ads are not managed and displayed for a specifically identified person, but for the cookie owner, regardless of who this cookie owner is. This does not apply if a user has expressly allowed Google to process the data without this pseudonymization. The information collected about users by Google Marketing Services is transmitted to Google and stored on Google's servers in the USA.

The Google marketing services we use include the online advertising program “Google AdWords”. In the case of Google AdWords, each AdWords customer receives a different “conversion cookie”. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained with the help of the cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The AdWords customers find out the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.

We can incorporate third-party advertisements on the basis of the Google “AdSense” marketing service . AdSense uses cookies that enable Google and its partner websites to display ads based on users' visits to this website or other websites on the Internet.

We can also use the "Google Tag Manager" to integrate and manage Google analysis and marketing services on our website.
