How does Google AdSense work?
This feature allows Google to serve personalized advertisements on our website. For the purpose of personalized advertising, Google AdSense uses cookies and web beacons to collect the following information:
The user's reaction to the ad (clicks, mouse movements, impression)
How many times the ad has already been shown to the user. Thus, the ad will not be displayed several times in the absence of a response.
Google analyzes the collected data and your IP address. Google uses the data primarily to display advertisements as effectively as possible. If you have a Google account, the data will be merged with your Google account.
Why are we allowed to use Google AdSense?
This merging takes place on the basis of your consent, which you can give or revoke at Google. In the case of data collection processes that are not merged in your Google account (e.g. because you do not have a Google account or have objected to the merging), the collection of data is based on our legitimate interest in acquiring new customers via advertising and to use our website profitably.
How can you prevent Google AdSense from collecting your data?
