Google Tag Manager
The site uses the Google Tag Manager service. This service allows you to manage the site's tags through an interface. Google Tag Manager implements tags only. This means that no cookies are used and no personal data is collected. Google Tool Manager activates other tags, which in turn collect data as needed. However, Google Tool Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been done at the domain or cookie level, it remains valid for all tracking tags if they are implemented in Google Tag Manager.
 
Google Ads
The site uses Google Ads, which is responsible for so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad displayed by Google, a cookie is generated to track conversions. These cookies are not used to identify the user. If a user visits certain pages of our site and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and our site are informed that the user was redirected to that page after clicking on the advertisement.
 
The information collected through the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics. We receive information about the total number of users who clicked on an ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive information that would enable us to identify the user.
