Such cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. Information gathered via the conversion cookie is used for creating conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers learn about the total number of users who clicked on the advertisement and about who were passed on to a site added with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not obtain any information that can be used to identify the user. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can refuse the use of this program by easily deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser through the user settings. In this case, you will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
