7. Important Marketing Techniques
- The Operator uses statistical traffic analysis through Google Analytics (Google Inc., USA). The Operator does not transfer personal data to this service but only anonymised information. This service relies on cookies stored on the user’s device. Users can view and edit information derived from cookies using the tool: Google Ads Preferences.
- The Operator employs remarketing techniques to match advertising messages to user behaviour on the website. This gives the impression that user data is being used to track them, but no personal data is shared with advertising operators. Cookies enable such actions.
- The Operator uses Facebook Pixel technology. This ensures that Facebook (Facebook Inc., USA) knows that a registered user is using the website. The service is based on cookies, and no additional personal data is shared by the Operator with Facebook.
- The Operator uses tools to analyse user behaviour, such as heatmaps and session recordings. This information is anonymised before being sent to the service operator, ensuring they cannot identify individual users. Passwords and other sensitive data are not recorded.
- The Operator may automate website interactions with users, such as sending emails after visiting specific subpages if the user has consented to receive commercial correspondence.
8. Cookie Information
The website uses cookies.
Cookies are IT data, specifically text files, stored on the User’s device for using the website’s pages. Cookies typically contain the website’s name, their storage time, and a unique number.
The entity placing cookies on the User’s device and accessing them is the website operator.
Cookies are used for the following purposes:

Web browsers typically allow cookies to be stored on the User’s device by default. Website Users can change these settings. Browsers also enable the deletion of cookies and automatic blocking of cookies. Detailed information can be found in the browser’s help or documentation.
