This website uses the online marketing tool Google Adwords and its conversion tracking feature. When a user clicks an ad placed by Google, a “conversion tracking” cookie is set. These cookies expire after 30 days, and involve only non-identifiable information. If a user accesses a page on the WACKER.COM website, and the cookie is still valid, the conversion tracking cookie notes the page on which the user clicked the ad to be redirected to the current page. Each Google AdWord customer is assigned a unique cookie. This prevents cookies from being used to track activity anywhere other than the AdWord customer’s website. The information collected through the use of conversion tracking cookies provides conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have chosen to use conversion tracking. These customers obtain statistics showing the total number of users who clicked their ad and were redirected to the website page having a conversion tracking tag. All the information collected is non-identifiable, meaning that no personal data is collected. Users who prefer to disable the conversion tracking feature can do so by changing the cookie settings in their internet browser’s settings. These users are then excluded from the conversion tracking statistics. Learn more about Google’s privacy policy .
