In relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. We are interested in showing you advertisements that are of interest to you, to make our website more interesting to you and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.
These advertising materials are supplied by Google via so-called "ad servers". Therefore, we use ad server cookies, which measure certain performance metrics such as ads or user clicks. If you access our website through a Google ad, Google Adwords will store a cookie on your PC. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally. Typically, the unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant to post-view conversions), and opt-out information (mark that the user does not like to be addressed) will be saved.
These cookies allow Google to recognize your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of an Adwords customer's website and the cookie stored on their computer has not expired, Google and the customer will be able to detect that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. Each Adwords customer is assigned a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of Adwords customers. Talentfirst does not collect and process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We receive only statistical evaluations by Google. On the basis of these evaluations, we can identify which of the advertising measures used are effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising material, in particular we cannot identify the users on the basis of this information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. We have no control over the extent and the further use of the data, which are raised by the appliance of this tool by Google. Therefore we inform you according to our knowledge level: By the incorporation of AdWords conversion Google receives the information that you entered the appropriate part of our internet appearance or click on an ad from us. If you are registered with a service provided by Google, Google may associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a chance that the provider will find and store your IP address.
You can prevent participation in this tracking process in several ways: a) by adjusting your browser software accordingly, in particular, suppression of third-party cookies will prevent you from receiving any third party advertisements; b) by deactivating the cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com" under https://www.google.de/settings/ads. However, this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies; c) by deactivating the interest-based ads of providers that are part of the self-regulation "About Ads" campaign via the link http: http://www.aboutads.info/ choices, however this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies; d) by permanent deactivation in your browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome) under the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin.

The provider of the plug-in can be identified on our website by the corresponding logo via the respective button. We provide the opportunity to communicate directly with the provider of the plug-in. The plug-in provider only receives the information that you have accessed its website via our online service, if you click on the designated field and activate it. Furthermore, the information according to access and cookies of this Privacy Policy will be transmitted.
In Germany, according to the information of the respective provider when using Facebook plug-ins the IP address will be anonymized immediately after collection.
Please note that through activation of the plug-in personal data will be transferred about you to the respective plug-in provider (in case of US providers to the USA).

The respective plug-in provider stores the data collected about you in profiles and uses them for marketing, market research and/or tailored design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for non-logged-in users) for the presentation of tailor-made advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website.

A transfer of data takes place regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged-in . However, if you are logged in to the plug-in provider, your data collected from us will be assigned directly to your user account. If you activate the social media button and, for example, link the page, the plug-in provider also stores this information in your user account and shares it publicly with your contacts. For this reason, we recommend to log out regularly after using a social network, but especially before activating the button, as this will prevent you from being assigned to your profile with the plug-in provider.
