7. Relevant marketing techniques
- The Operator analyzes statistical website traffic through Google Analytics (Google Inc. based in the USA). The Operator does not transmit personal data to the Operator of this Service, only anonymized information. The Service is based on cookies being used on the User’s end device. Regarding the information about user preferences collected by the Google advertising network, the User can view and edit the information resulting from cookies using the tool: https://www.google.com/ads/preferences/
- The Operator uses remarketing techniques to tailor advertising messages to the User’s behavior on the site, which may give the illusion that the User’s personal information is being used to track the User. Still, in practice, no personal data is transferred from the Operator to the advertising operators. A technological prerequisite for such activities is that cookies are enabled.
- The Operator uses the Facebook pixel. This technology causes Facebook (Facebook Inc., based in the US) to know that a registered person is using the Service. Based on the data about which he is the Administrator, the Operator does not transfer any additional personal data from himself to Facebook. The Service is based on cookies used on the User’s end device.
- The Operator employs a solution to study user behavior by creating heat maps and recording behavior on the site. This information is anonymized before it is sent to the service provider so that it does not know which individual it relates to. In particular, typed passwords and other personal data are not recorded.
- The Operator uses a solution that automates the website’s operation for users, e.g., that can send an e-mail to a user after visiting a particular subpage, provided that the User has agreed to receive commercial correspondence from the Operator.
8. Information about cookies
