Google enhanced Conversion

.

This website uses Google Ads. Ads is an online advertising programme provided by Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House,Barrow Street Dublin 4 IE ("Google"). Within the scope of Google Ads, we use the so-called advanced conversion tracking. This requires consent, which you can object to.
Advanced conversions are a function that supplements existing conversion tags. This allows conversion data collected on the website itself to be sent to Google in encrypted form.
When a conversion is performed on a website, user data such as a name, email address or postal address is collected in most cases. This can be captured and hashed in your conversion tracking tags. To do this, the data is encrypted using a one-way SHA256 hash algorithm.

The hash values of your user:inside data are then passed to Google and used to improve your conversion measurement.


If the cookie banner is accepted in consent mode, the tracking tags will work as usual and capture the associated conversions and click information. In case of cookie refusal, the Consent-Mode only sends a ping information. The so-called pings work without cookies. They can contain information such as the time stamp and the link URL. No personally identifiable information is stored. In addition, Consent Mode can use the pings to compare opt-in and opt-out rates. This information is then used to model conversions from users who have rejected the cookie banner. So when you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for advanced conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that the internet browser stores on the user's computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and do not serve to personally identify the user.


Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked across Ads customers' websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. The clients learn, for example, 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 that can be used to personally identify users. 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. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.


More information on Google Ads and Google enhanced conversion tracking can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
