Part X. Using Google Adwords Conversion-Tracking

We use the online advertising program “AdWords” and the analysis service Conversion-Tracking by the same provider, both by Google (about the provider see section VIII)

However, they will not get any information identifying the users.

If you do not want to participate in the tracking process, you can deactivate the automatic setting of cookies in your browser’s settings.
