If a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us on Facebook or Instagram, a parameter is added to the URL of our linked page with the help of “meta pixels”.

In addition, this cookie collects specific customer data such as the email address that we collect on our website linked to the Facebook or Instagram ad during processes such as purchase transactions, account logins or registrations (extended data matching). The cookie is then read and enables the data, including the specific customer data, to be transmitted to Meta.
We use “Meta Pixel” with advanced data matching to make our advertisements (so-called “ads”) on Facebook and/or Instagram more effective and to ensure that they correspond to the interests of the users or have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited), which we transmit to Meta (so-called “Custom Audiences”).
In addition, we analyze the effectiveness of our advertisements by tracking whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an advertisement (conversion). Compared to the standard version of “Meta Pixel”, the extended data matching function helps us to better measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by recording more associated conversions.
All transmitted data is stored and processed by Meta so that it can be assigned to the respective user profile and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Meta’s data usage guidelines(https://www.facebook.com
