Google Ads
The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Ads allows us to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when users enter specific search terms on Google (keyword targeting). Additionally, targeted advertisements can be displayed based on the user data available at Google (e.g., location data and interests) (audience targeting). As website operators, we can quantitatively analyze this data by examining, for example, which search terms triggered the display of our advertisements and how many ads led to corresponding clicks.
The use of Google Ads is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the most effective marketing of its services and products.
