Google Adwords – Conversion Tracking

Google Adwords Conversion Tracking is used on this website to record, statistically evaluate and report on the use of the website. Google Adwords requires the setting of a cookie on your computer when this website is visited via a Google ad. 

All cookies set by Google Adwords lose their validity after 30 days and cannot be used for private identification. If the user visits multiple pages on a particular Adwords customer’s website and the cookies are still valid, Google and the customer can recognize that the visitor clicked on the ad and was subsequently redirected to that page.
