Google Analytics helps us analyze how users use our Websites and Online Shop. The information is stored by Google on servers in the United States. This information is provided to us in the form of reports giving general information about the activity on our website. Please note that Google only receives your truncated IP address.

Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn

Facebook Pixel, Twitter Tag, and LinkedIn Insight Tag are applied to track conversion and direct relevant stories to our followers. They help us measure our return on investment as they provide us with the information on people’s online behavior that is a reaction to viewing ads. By having the pixels and tags on our Websites, we can track conversions back to the ads running on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn. Conversion tracking also lets us optimize our cost per impression to show ads to people who are most likely to buy our products.

More information on privacy policies can be found on the Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn websites.

Google AdWords and Google Remarketing

We use the online advertising program Google AdWords and the Google Remarketing technology. To measure conversions with Google AdWords, a conversion tracking cookie is placed when a user clicks on a link leading to our Websites. Google uses a different cookie for each Google AdWords customer and there is no consolidation of the cookie data with other data. If you click on one of our Ads and proceed to a page equipped with a conversion tag and the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion is documented. With the help of the conversion tracking cookie, we are able to see the total number of conversions and review the performance of our Ads.

When you click on one of our Ads, a Google Remarketing cookie is placed. This cookie helps to serve our Ads to you at a later time when you browse pages of the Google content network. Remarketing cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification.
