7. Important Marketing Techniques
- The operator uses statistical traffic analysis tools on the website, through Google Analytics (Google Inc., based in the USA). The operator does not provide personal data to the operator of this service, only anonymized information. The service is based on the use of cookies in the user’s end device. In terms of user preferences collected by Google’s advertising network, the user can view and edit information derived 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 give the illusion that the user’s personal data is being used to track them. However, in practice, no personal data is transferred from the operator to the advertising operators. The technical condition for such actions is cookie support being enabled.
- The operator uses Facebook Pixel technology. This technology causes Facebook (Facebook Inc., based in the USA) to know that a registered user of the service is using the website. In this case, it is based on data for which Facebook itself is the administrator. The operator does not transfer any additional personal data to Facebook. The service is based on the use of cookies in the user’s end device.
