Google AdSense selects ads that are relevant to the content of the website on which they are displayed. For this purpose, a web crawler examines the relevant content, similar to how a website is indexed for the Google search engine. For example, if a website is about photography, it is likely that ads related to photography will be displayed. In addition to the contextual targeting, AdSense also supports interest-based targeting based on the individual profile of a visitor to the website or ad. Google AdSense uses cookies for this purpose. Cookies are small text files that store information on your computer to enable analysis of your browsing behavior. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting the appropriate settings. You can also delete set cookies at any time. Google AdSense also uses web beacons, which are miniature graphics integrated into web pages. The purpose is to record and analyze log files using Google AdSense web beacons. With the help of web beacons, Google Ireland Ltd can determine when a person has opened a web page and which links were followed. The evaluation of visitor numbers for certain web pages is also possible through web beacons. Google Ireland Ltd also receives information about individuals and their data, including IP addresses. These data are stored and processed by Google. Under certain circumstances, the collected data and information about individuals may be shared with third parties by Google Ireland Ltd. For more information and detailed explanations, please visit the following link: https://www.google.de/intl/de/adsense/start.
On our site, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Ltd, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland. Google Analytics uses cookies, which are small text files that store information on your computer to enable analysis of website usage. The information generated by the cookies about your use of the website is usually transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the United States. By activating the IP anonymization function, Google will truncate your IP address within the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission, so that your full IP address is not transmitted. The full IP address is only transmitted to a Google server in the USA in exceptional cases, where it is shortened. Google will use this information on behalf of the website operator to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.

Google Ireland Ltd, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland operates the service. AdWords allows for the presentation of search-relevant ads to users. If a person has been directed to our website via a Google ad, a conversion cookie is set on the user's browser.
