DoubleClick is a Google brand, under which specialised online marketing solutions are primarily marketed to advertising agencies and publishers. DoubleClick by Google transmits data to the DoubleClick server with each impression as well as based on clicks or other activities. Each such data transmission triggers a cookie request to the data subject’s browser. DoubleClick sets a cookie in your browser if the browser accepts this request. DoubleClick uses a cookie ID that is required for technical processing. The cookie ID is needed, for example, to display an advertisement in a browser. DoubleClick can also use the cookie ID to record which advertisements have already been displayed in a browser in order to avoid duplicate placements. In addition, the cookie ID makes it possible for DoubleClick to record conversions. Conversions are recorded, for example, when a DoubleClick ad has previously been displayed to a user and the user subsequently makes a purchase on the advertiser’s website using the same web browser. A cookie from DoubleClick does not contain any personal data, but may contain additional campaign identifiers. A campaign identifier is used to identify campaigns you have already been in contact with on other websites. In connection with this service, Google is provided access to data that Google also uses to generate commission statements. Amongst other things, Google can see that you have clicked on certain links on our website. In such cases, your data will be shared with the operator of DoubleClick, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
