Cross-device Remarketing
Our website uses the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords. Provider is the Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
This feature allows Google Analytics Remarketing-created promotional audiences to be linked to the cross-device functions of Google AdWords. In this way, interest-related, personalized advertising messages can be adapted to you according to your past use and surfing behavior on a terminal (e.g., mobile phone) may also be displayed on another of your terminals (e.g., tablet or PC).
If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history with your Google account. In this way, the same personalized messages can be displayed on each terminal where you sign in with your Google Account.
To support this feature, Google Analytics captures google-authenticated IDs of users who are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create audiences for cross-device advertising.
You can permanently deny cross-device remarketing/ targeting by disabling personalized advertising in your Google Account. Please follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/
