The Conversion Tracking tag is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Twitter. In this case, a Twitter cookie is placed in the user's browser. These tag cookies are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the tag cookie has not expired, we and Twitter will know that the user clicked on the ad and was directed to that page.

Otherwise, you can also prevent the cookies from being set as required for tracking - for example, by setting your browser to generally deactivate the automatic setting of cookies.
