- Google Conversion Tracking
We continue to use Google Conversion Tracking for the Internet platform. Google places a so-called 'conversion cookie' on your computer if you have accessed the Internet platform via a Google ad. These conversion cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If you visit certain websites of Google Ads-customers and the conversion cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer may recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to our Internet platform. Each Ads-customer receives a different conversion cookie. Conversion cookies can therefore not be tracked through the websites of Ads-customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads-customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Ads-customers see the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, you will not receive any information that personally identifies users.
We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google Ireland Limited, which regulates the modalities of the processing of your data and provides for an appropriate data protection standard.
For the use of such tracking software, your consent is required in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You give or refuse this consent via the cookie banner when you visit our website.
'If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can also reject the setting of a cookie required for this - for example using a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies. Google's Conversion Tracking Privacy Policy is available at https://ads.google.com/intl/en_uk/homefaq/gdpr/'.

With 'Google reCAPTCHA' we use another Google service on our website
This service is used to check whether the data entered on our website (for example, in our contact form) is done by a human or by an automated program. In this way, we try to protect our website from abuse by automated requests and spam. To determine this, reCAPTCHA becomes active when the website is accessed and collects various data, including your IP address, the duration of your visit and behavior-related activities (e.g. mouse clicks). This data is analyzed and forwarded to Google in this context. If data is also forwarded to servers of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA) in the USA, please see our explanations above.
We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google Ireland Limited, which regulates the modalities of the processing of your data and provides for an appropriate data protection standard.
