Our website uses the re-marketing function from Google Analytics in conjunction with the cross-device functions from Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The access provider is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (Google). These functions make it possible to link up the target groups generated by Google Analytics with the Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick cross-device functions.
