As part of our advertising measures through Google Ads, we use conversion tracking from Google Inc. on our pages. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. This tracking tool allows us to better tailor our advertising offerings to your interests and needs.

Our pages have integrated a conversion tracking tag or code snippet to better analyze user actions.

Cookies are small text files that store information on your computer.

As soon as you complete an action on our website, Google recognizes the cookie and saves your action as a so-called conversion.

The cookie is read and sent back to Google Ads with the conversion data. It is also possible that other cookies are used to measure conversions.

If you deactivate the Google conversion tracking cookie via your browser, you will block conversion tracking. In this case, you will not be included in the tracking tool's statistics.
