Google Analytics Advertiser
We use Google Analytics Advertiser Features, which helps us to better understand site visitors, via anonymised data. This can include collecting information from:
- Google Display Network Impression Reporting
- DoubleClick Platform integrations
- Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting
- Remarketing with Google Analytics
This information is collected via Google advertising cookies and anonymous identifiers, in addition to data collected through the standard Google Analytics implementation. It allows us to understand what type of users visit the site, which then allows us to improve the website’s offerings for a better user experience.
Google AdWords
We use Google AdWords to see which pages led to our users submitting contact forms to us, which allows us to create a more effective marketing campaign, and make better use of our paid search budget.
Pinterest Conversion Tag
Our website also uses the conversion-tracking Pinterest tag from Pinterest Europe Ltd., Palmerston House, 2nd Floor, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland. This allows users of our websites to receive interest-based advertising when visiting Pinterest or other websites that also use the feature. We use this tool to show you advertisements that might interest you and to personalise our website to your interests.
Due to the use of this marketing tool, your browser will automatically establish a direct connection to the Pinterest server. We have no control over the scope and further use of data collected by Pinterest through the use of these tools, so the information in this privacy policy reflects our current understanding of the matter: As the Pinterest tag has been integrated into our web services, Pinterest will be notified when you visit the relevant part of our website or click on one of our advertisements. If you are registered with a Pinterest service, Pinterest may be able to attribute the visit to your individual account. Even if you are not registered with or logged into Pinterest, it is possible for Pinterest to identify and save your IP address as well as other identifying features.
The legal basis for processing your personal data for conversion tracking using the ‘Pinterest tag’ is your declaration of consent in accordance with point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. Processing your personal data using the ‘Pinterest tag’ conversion tracking element allows us to boost sales by selling goods or services. We use conversion tracking to show you advertisements that might interest you and to personalise our websites to your interests. Conversion tracking allows you to receive interest-based advertising when visiting the social network Pinterest or other websites that also use the feature. Your personal data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was processed or if you revoke your consent.
The Pinterest tag feature can be disabled by making the appropriate setting in your browser or – if you are logged into Pinterest – at Personalized ads on Pinterest .
