VII. Essential marketing techniques

1. The operator uses statistical analysis of Website traffic via Google Analytics (Google Inc., based in the USA). The operator does not transmit personal data to the operator of this service, but only anonymised information. The service is based on the use of cookies on the user’s terminal device. With regard to the information on 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/.

2. The Operator uses remarketing techniques to match advertising messages with the user’s behaviour on the website, which may give the illusion that the user’s personal data are being used to track the user, but in practice no personal data are transferred from the Operator to the advertising operators. A technological prerequisite for such activities is that cookies are enabled.

3. The Operator uses a solution that examines user behaviour by heat mapping and recording behaviour on the site. This information is anonymised before it is sent to the service operator so that the operator does not know which individual it relates to. In particular, typed passwords and other personal data are not recorded.

4. The Operator uses a solution that automates the operation of the Website in relation to users, e.g., it may send an e-mail to a user after visiting a specific subpage, provided that the user has agreed to receive commercial correspondence from the Operator.

VIII. Information on cookies

1. The Website uses cookies. Cookies are IT data, in particular text files, which are stored in the Service User’s terminal equipment and are intended for use on the Website.

3. The entity placing cookies on the Service User’s terminal equipment and accessing them is the Service Operator.

4. Cookies are used for the following purposes:

• fulfilling the purposes set out above under „Important marketing techniques”.

5.
