In relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, Worknector can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are.Worknector is interested in showing you advertisements that are of interest to you, to make the service 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, Worknector uses ad server cookies, which measure certain performance metrics such as ads or user clicks. If you access the service 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.
