On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the website by users, compile reports on website activity and provide the website operator with further services relating to website and Internet usage.
The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. Users may prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in their browser software; however, please note that if you do so, you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

10. Privacy Policy for the Use of Twitter
Our website incorporates functions provided by the Twitter service. These functions are offered by Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. By using Twitter and the "Re-Tweet" function, the websites you visit are linked to your Twitter account and made known to other users. Data is also transmitted to Twitter. Please note that, as the operator of the online shop lovekids.ch, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or how it is used by Twitter.
11. TradeTracker
Love Kids uses the services of TradeTracker.com. Their role is to help advertisers and publishers understand which advertisements displayed by publishers generate which sales, leads or other actions for advertisers. This enables the advertiser to pay a publisher only when the advertisement displayed by the publisher (or another required action) refers a person to the advertiser and that person completes a purchase. TradeTracker uses data, including cookies, to achieve this. This data relates to individuals but does not identify them by name. It consists of pseudonymised data relating to a single referral of a person from one website to another and the subsequent confirmation that a purchase has been made.
TradeTracker also maintains a database of references to users' devices, allowing it to determine whether an advertisement viewed on one device, such as a mobile phone, resulted in a purchase being made on another device, such as a laptop. This database does not allow individuals to be identified by name, nor is this possible for TradeTracker.
TradeTracker does not create profiles showing the purchasing history of individuals on the Internet over a specific period of time. TradeTracker also does not target individuals with advertisements for products and services based on their perceived interests. Its sole purpose is to measure the effectiveness of specific online advertising campaigns.
