Clients learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser under user settings. They will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
The storage of “conversion cookies” is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its web offering and its advertising.

Microsoft BING Ads
This website may use conversion tracking from Bing Ads (Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA). If you have clicked on a Bing ad, a cookie is set on your computer. Both Bing and the website operator can thus recognize that someone has been redirected to the website via the Bing ads and has reached a predefined target page (conversion page). We would like to point out that this procedure also collects their IP address. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking procedure described, the setting of a cookie required for this can be rejected via browser settings. Deactivation can also be done via the following link: https://choice.microsoft.com/de/opt-out
