2.9 Advertising Tools

Google Ads

The data controller uses Google Ads, an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads in both Google’s search engine results and the Google advertising network. Google Ads allows an advertiser to define certain keywords in advance, using which an ad will only be displayed in Google’s search engine results if the user uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google advertising network, the advertisements are distributed on relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and taking into account the previously defined keywords.
The operating company for the Google Ads services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The purpose of Google Ads is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and to display third-party advertising on our website.
