2. Use of Google Adwords

Our website uses the Google Adwords service. Google Adwords is an online advertising service from Google Inc. (“Google”).

We use the remarketing function of Google Adwords. The remarketing function allows us to show ads for users on our website on other websites that are part of Google’s display network based on their interests. To do this, the user’s interactions on our website are analysed, for example with regards to the offers they have been interested in, in order to keep showing targeted ads to the user after the visit to our website. To do this, Google saves a number in the browsers of users who visited certain Google services or websites in Google’s display network. This number, referred to as a cookie, is used to register the visits made by these users. It is used for unambiguous identification of browsers on a certain computer, and not for the identification of a person. No personal data is stored.

You can disable Google from using cookies by following this link and installing the browser plugin: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin.
