Cookies are small text files that the internet browser stores on the user's computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification of the user. If you visit certain pages of the website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the website can tell that you clicked on the ad and proceeded to that page.
Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Thus, cookies cannot be tracked using the website of an Adwords advertiser. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Adwords customers who have opted into conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, they do not obtain any information which can be used to identify you personally. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse by simply deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser settings.
By doing so, you will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. "Conversion cookies" are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising.
For more information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking, see the Google Privacy Policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy.
You can configure your browser in a way so to get informed whenever a cookie is set, and you can choose on a case-by-case basis whether or not to allow this.
