7. Important marketing techniques
- The Operator uses statistical analysis of website traffic via Google Analytics (Google Inc. based in the USA). The Operator does not transfer personal data to this service provider, but only anonymized information. The service is based on the use of cookies on the user’s end device. With regard to information about user preferences collected by the Google advertising network, the user may view and edit information resulting from cookies using the tool: https://www.google.com/ads/preferences/
- The Operator uses remarketing techniques allowing advertising messages to be tailored to the user’s behavior on the website, which may create the impression that the user’s personal data is used for tracking; however, in practice no personal data is transferred from the Operator to advertising operators. The technological condition for such actions is enabled cookie support.
- The Operator uses the Facebook pixel. This technology means that Facebook (Facebook Inc. based in the USA) knows that a person registered on it uses the Service. In this case, it is based on data for which it is itself the controller; the Operator does not transfer any additional personal data from its side to Facebook. The service is based on the use of cookies on the user’s end device.
- The Operator uses a solution that analyzes user behavior by creating heat maps and recording activity on the website. This information is anonymized before being sent to the service provider, so it does not know which natural person it relates to. In particular, passwords entered and other personal data are not recorded.
- The Operator uses a solution that automates the functioning of the Service in relation to users, e.g. it may send an email to the user after visiting a specific subpage, provided that the user has consented to receive commercial correspondence from the Operator.
