that your web browser stores on your device. Google AdWords cookies lose their validity after 30 days and do not serve to personally identify users. The cookie enables Google and us to recognize that you clicked on an advertisement
and have been redirected to our website.
Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies are not traceable through websites of AdWords customers. Conversion cookies are used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who use conversion tracking. AdWords customers
find out how many users clicked on your ad and were redirected to pages with conversion tracking tags. However, AdWords customers do not receive any information that would allow users to be personally identified. If you do not
want to participate in tracking, you can object to any use. Here the conversion cookie must be deactivated in the user settings of the browser. In this way, no inclusion in the conversion tracking statistics takes place.
The storage of "conversion cookies" is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. As website operators, we have a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise our website and our advertising.

On our blog or in our recipe suggestions, we have included social media plugins that allow you to share specific content on social networks.

After activation, the plugins also collect personal data such as your IP address and send it to the servers of the respective provider, where it is stored.

The data is used to display personalized advertising and for market and opinion research purposes.The data is passed on regardless of whether you have an account with the plugin provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in with the plug-in provider, the data we collect will be assigned to your account with the plug-in provider.We do not have any exact information about the actual use of the data or the storage period.
