7. Significant Marketing Techniques
The operator uses statistical analysis of website traffic through Google Analytics (Google Inc. based in the USA). The operator does not provide personal data to the operator of this service, only anonymized information. The service is based on the use of cookies on the user’s end device. In terms of user preferences collected by the Google advertising network, the user can view and edit the information resulting from cookies using the tool: https://www.google.com/ads/preferences/ The operator uses remarketing techniques that allow for matching advertising messages to the user’s behavior on the website, which may give the impression that the user’s personal data is used to track them. However, in practice, no personal data is transferred from the operator to the advertising operators. The technological condition for these activities is the enabled cookie support. The operator uses the Facebook pixel. This technology allows Facebook (Facebook Inc. based in the USA) to know that a registered person is using the service. In this case, the data used is the operator’s, as the administrator, but the operator does not transfer any additional personal data to Facebook. The service is based on the use of cookies on the user’s end device.

In particular, login passwords and other personal data are not subject to recording. The operator uses a solution to automate the operation of the service for users, e.g., it can send an email to the user after visiting a specific subpage if the user has given their consent to receive commercial correspondence from the operator. The operator may use profiling within the meaning of personal data protection regulations.
