(2) We use the remarketing function which is part of the Google AdWords service. The remarketing function enables us to advertise to users who have previously visited our website by showing them ads we believe they might be interested in when they visit other sites within the Google display network (Google itself, “Google ads” or other websites). To enable us to do this, we analyse the user's interaction on our website (assessing which offers the user has expressed an interest in, for example) so that we can target advertising to them on other sites even after they have left our website. Google saves a number in the browsers of users who visit certain Google services or websites within the Google display network. This number, which is referred to as a cookie, records these users' visits. It is used to uniquely identify a web browser on a specific computer and not to identify a person; personal data are not saved. You can deactivate the use of cookies by Google at any time by clicking the following link and downloading and installing the plug-in you will find there: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin.

These cookies expire after 30 days. They do not contain any personal data and thus cannot be used to identify an individual person. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have chosen to use conversion tracking.

However, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.
