Should the user visit certain pages of the website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the website can tell that the user clicked on the ad and proceeded to that page.
Each Google AdSense advertiser has a different cookie. Thus, cookies cannot be tracked using the website of an AdSense advertiser. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for the AdSense advertisers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page.

It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of our newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better tailor future newsletters to your interests.
