This website uses the online advertising tool "Google AdWords" and, within the framework of Google AdWords, the conversion tracking of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google").

When you submit our contact survey, it will be reported to Google. This takes place via a so-called "conversion snippet". We also store the Google ID in our salesforce.com CRM system, The Landmark One Market Street, Suite 300, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA, for the purpose of matching leads.

We use the services of Google Adwords to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising material (so-called Google Ads) on external websites. In relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the individual advertising campaigns are. In doing so, we pursue the interest of showing you content that is of interest to you, of making our website more engaging for you and of achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.

The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on a GoogleAds ad placed by Google. If the user visits certain pages on this site and the cookie has not expired, Google and we can recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was directed to that page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. As a result, cookies cannot be tracked through the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected from the Conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for Conversion Tracking. Customers will know the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were directed to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they will not receive information that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can block this use. You will then no longer be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
