Advertising and Google AdWords
On this Website, the Company has integrated Google AdWords. Google AdWords is a service for Internet advertising that allows the advertiser to place ads in Google search engine results and the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-define specific keywords with the help of which an ad on Google's search results only then displayed when the user utilizes the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google Advertising Network, the ads are distributed on relevant web pages using an automatic algorithm, taking into account the previously defined keywords.
The operating company of Google AdWords is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.
The purpose of Google AdWords is the promotion of our website by the inclusion of relevant advertising on the websites of third parties and in the search engine results of the search engine Google and an insertion of third-party advertising on our website. If a visitor reaches our website via a Google ad, a conversion cookie is filed on the visitor's system through Google. A conversion cookie loses its validity after 30 days and is not used to identify the visitor. If the cookie has not expired, the conversion cookie is used to check whether certain sub-pages were called up on our website. Through the conversion cookie, both Google and the Company can understand whether a person who reached an AdWords ad on our website generated sales.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are used to determine the total number of users who have been served through AdWords ads, to ascertain the success or failure of each AdWords ad, and to optimize our AdWords ads in the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could identify the visitor.
You may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as stated above, by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. You may also object to interest-based advertising from Google through the settings at adssettings.google.com. Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved at policies.google.com/privacy.

Specifically, we analyze trends, administer the site, track users' movements around the Website, and gather demographic information about our user base in the aggregate.
On this Website, the Company has integrated the component of Google Analytics. Google Analytics is a web analytics service that collects, gathers, and analyzes data about the behavior of visitors to websites, including the website from which a person has come, which sub-pages were visited, and how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.

With each visit to our site, information including the IP address is transmitted to Google in the United States and stored by Google there. Google may pass information collected through this technical procedure to third parties.
You may prevent the setting of cookies through our Website at any time by adjusting the web browser used, and may object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics by downloading and installing the browser add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
