In order to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our website for you, we also use Google Conversion Tracking. Google Adwords sets a cookie on your computer if you have accessed our website via a Google ad.

Each Adwords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Adwords customers.
