7. Relevant marketing techniques

1. 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 the operator of this service, only anonymised information. The service is based on the use of cookies on the user's end device. With regard to information on user preferences collected by the Google advertising network, the user can view and edit information derived from cookies using the tool: https://www.google.com/ads/preferences/
2. The operator uses remarketing techniques that allow advertising messages to be matched to the user's behaviour on the website, which may give the impression that the user's personal data are being used to track them; in practice, however, no personal data are transferred from the operator to advertising operators. The technological prerequisite for such activities is that cookies are enabled.
3. The operator uses the Facebook pixel. This technology means that Facebook (Facebook Inc., based in the USA) knows that a person registered with it uses the website. In this case, it relies on data for which it is itself the controller; the operator does not transfer any additional personal data of its own to Facebook. The service is based on the use of cookies on the user's end device.
4. The operator uses a solution that studies user behaviour by creating heat maps and recording behaviour on the website. This information is anonymised before being sent to the service operator, so that it does not know which natural person it relates to. In particular, entered passwords and other personal data are not recorded.
5. The operator uses a solution that automates the operation of the website in relation to users, e.g. one that can send an e-mail to a user after they visit a specific subpage, provided that they have consented to receiving commercial communications from the operator.
