6.5 Google DoubleClick

Our website uses the online marketing tool DoubleClick (operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). DoubleClick uses cookies to display adverts relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports or to prevent a user from seeing the same adverts multiple times. Google uses a cookie ID to record which adverts are displayed in which browser and can accordingly them from being displayed more than once. DoubleClick can also use cookie IDs to record any conversions related to advert requests, such as when a user views a DoubleClick advert and subsequently uses the same browser to visit the advertiser's website and make a purchase. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personal data. Thanks to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google’s server. We have no control over the scope and further use of the data Google collects through the use of this tool. We therefore provide as much information as we know: with the integration of DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or clicked on our ad. If you are registered with a Google service, Google may allocate the visit to your account. If you are not registered with Google or are not logged in, it is still possible that the provider will determine and store your IP address.
