4. If the cookie is still valid and you visit a specific page on our website, both we and Google can evaluate that you clicked on one of our ads placed by Google and that you were then redirected to our website.
5. With the information obtained in this way, Google creates statistics for us about the visit to our website. This also gives us information about the number of users who clicked on our ad(s) and the pages of our website that were subsequently accessed, and we can check the figures for plausibility with regard to ad fraud. However, neither we nor third parties who also use Google Ads are able to identify you in this way.

You can give this either on your first visit to the portal via the consent banner or at any time in the cookie settings, which can be called up via a link at the end of each page of the portal, and adapt or revoke it with effect for the future.
