These cookies contain computer-generated alphanumeric identifiers that do not permit any conclusions about your person or the IP address of your computer.
These targeting cookies are used as follows:

2. to help us improve the effectiveness of our advertising measures;
3. to display LGT ads when you visit external websites with which we maintain marketing relationships.

We use conversion tracking on our website with the LinkedIn Insight Tag, a tool provided by LinkedIn Ireland, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.
For this purpose, the LinkedIn Insight Tag is integrated on our pages and is placed as a cookie on the end device of the Visitor by LinkedIn. This informs LinkedIn that the Visitor has visited our website. The IP address is also collected in this process. Moreover, timestamps and events such as site views are stored. This allows the statistical analysis of websites used in order to optimize use of our website. As a result, for example, we learn via which LinkedIn ad or interaction on LinkedIn a Visitor came to our Website.
The data may be stored and processed by LinkedIn, such that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and LinkedIn can use the data for its own advertising purposes. We can also use the analytics produced by LinkedIn to assess the performance of our advertisements on LinkedIn.
Google Analytics Remarketing
We use the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing on our Website in conjunction with the cross-platform functions of Google Ads. The provider is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
This function enables the advertising target groups defined with Google Analytics Remarketing to be combined with the cross-platform functions of Google Ads. As a result, depending on the previous usage and surfing behaviour of a Visitor using an end device, interest-based, personalized advertising can also be displayed on another end device of the Visitor. Where we receive the Visitor’s consent, Google combines the web and app browser history with the Google account of the Visitor for this purpose. In this way, the same personalized advertising can be displayed on any end device on which the Visitor is logged in with their Google account. To support this function, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated IDs, which are temporarily linked with our Google Analytics data in order to define and create target groups for cross-platform advertising.
Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking
This is the online advertising program of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States.
We use conversion tracking in connection with Google Ads. When an ad placed by Google is clicked, a cookie for conversion tracking is placed on the end device of the Visitor via the Internet browser. When visiting certain pages of our website, Google recognizes that the Visitor has clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. The information collected with the help of the conversion cookie is used for our conversion statistics (e.g. total number of Visitors who clicked on our ad and were redirected to a page featuring a conversion tracking tag).
Google DoubleClick
DoubleClick by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States uses cookies to place ads relevant for visitors, to improve reports on campaign performance or to prevent a Visitor from seeing the same ads on multiple occasions. Google uses a cookie ID to learn which ads are placed in which browser and can thereby prevent the ads from being displayed multiple times. Using cookie IDs, DoubleClick is also able to collect conversions that relate to ad requests. According to Google, DoubleClick does not collect any personal information.
Your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server due to the marketing tools used. We have no control over the scope and further use of the data Google collects. As a result of the integration of DoubleClick, Google is informed that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or clicked on our ads. If you are registered with a Google service, Google is able to assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered or logged in with Google, it is possible that the provider gains knowledge of and stores your IP address.
Third-party content and services may be incorporated into the website (known as externally embedded components or plugins/widgets). These always require that the Third-party Providers of such content use Visitors’ IP addresses, as no content can be sent to the Visitor's browser without the IP address.
We have no control over the amount of information that these Third-party Providers collect by means of the button or as a result of your use of pages that incorporate certain third-party services. If you use the services of Third-party Providers, the responsibility for the further processing of data lies with the respective third-party provider.
On the website, we use the following third-party products for these purposes: (for further information, see also sections 4.1 to 4.3)
