Meta

Meta is a social network of Meta Platforms Ireland, Hanover Reach, 5-7 Hanover Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter “Meta”). On our website, we have included the Meta Pixel. For a summary of the Meta Pixel, please refer to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/meta-pixel.

When you enter a page on our website that contains the Meta Pixel, your browser or app will establish a direct connection to Meta’s servers where the pixel is loaded from. The information that your browser has visited the corresponding page of our online services will be transmitted to Meta, even if you do not have a Meta account or are not logged into your account. This information (including your IP address) will be sent by your browser directly to a server of Meta in the United States of America and stored there.

If you are logged into your Meta account at the same time, it is also possible to assign the page impression to your Meta profile. If you click on embedded Meta buttons and log into your Meta account (or are already logged in), this information will be sent directly to a Meta server and stored there. The corresponding information is published on your Meta profile and in your chronicle/timeline in short form. Meta can thus collect and store additional usage data. If you want to prevent the transmission and storage of your data and your behavior on our online services through Meta, you must use the opt-out solution.

You can also change your Ad Settings here: https://www.facebook.com/ads/settings or log out of your Meta account before you visit our sites and delete any cookies placed by Meta. 

For more information on your rights and on how Meta records and processes data, please see Meta’s Data Privacy Policy, which is available at http://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/ and https://www.facebook.com/help/443483272359009#!/help/340599879348142/

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, which is a web analyzing tool of Google Inc., Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter “Google”) for the purposes of the adequate design and continuous optimization of our website. Google Analytics works with cookies and creates pseudonymized usage profiles, which allow your use of our website to be analyzed. Information stored in such cookies (such as the browser type/version, operating system used, referrer URL, hostname of the accessing computer, time of server request) is usually transmitted to and stored on Google’s servers.

Due to the activation of IP anonymization (IP masking), Google will truncate and therefore anonymize the IP address of your device within the European Union or the European Economic Area.

We contracted Google to analyze your use of this website in order to produce reports on the activities on our website and provide more services connected to the use of our website and the internet in general. We also use Google Analytics for marketing purposes. Doing so allows us to advertise on third-party websites (including Google) to previous visitors to our website.

If you are a website visitor, Google services will be used for the marketing and analytics purposes only with your consent.

If you are a registered user of our platform and have agreed to the Terms of Use, we can use Google services for the analytics and maintenance purposes as part of our services.

The IP address provided by your browser will not be combined with other Google data. The information may be transferred to third parties if doing so is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. You can prevent cookies from being stored on your device by adjusting your browser software accordingly. Please note, however, that changing your settings may have negative effects on the usability of our website. You may prevent Google from recording and processing data on your use of our website (including your device’s IP address) and storing such information in a cookie by using the opt-out solution.

You also can download and install a browser opt-out add-on from http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
