Facebook

A Facebook pixel is a tiny piece of JavaScript code that we have incorporated into each of our web pages. This piece of code provides a series of functions for transmitting application-specific events and user-defined data to Facebook. We use pixels to record information about the way visitors use our website. This includes conversion tracking and audience targeting/retargeting.  

This tool allows us to follow the actions of users after they are redirected to a provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook advertisement. We are thus able to record the efficacy of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes. The collected data remain anonymous. This means that we cannot see the personal data of any individual user. However, the collected data are saved and processed by Facebook. We are informing you on this matter according to our information currently. Facebook can connect the data to your Facebook account and use the data for their advertising purposes
