Google Analytics

In order to continuously improve our pages and give our visitors the best possible customer experience, we analyze visits made to our website through the analysis tool Google Analytics. This data is not traceable back to who our end users are, but the cookies collect demographic information and user behavior about visitors to our website (we will therefore in no way be able to see how a specific customer whose personal details we know uses our website) . Among other things, we want to look at which of our pages are visited the most, where our users come from, how long the visit lasts, what type of device is used and which search terms are used. In this way, we can use this data to make our service and website even better for our customers.

Facebook pixels

We use Facebook’s pixel on our websites to be able to run targeted advertising via Facebook. We do this in order to be able to provide relevant marketing to the people who are interested in us. This data is anonymised and we cannot see which people are collected and stored in the pixel. For more information about Facebook’s guidelines, you can visit their pages here

Google AdWords

We use the Google Adwords pixel on our websites to be able to run targeted advertising on Google’s search engine and in their display network (advertising network where ads ordered through Google are shown on other websites). We do this in order to be able to provide relevant marketing to the people who are interested in us. This data is anonymised and we cannot see which people are collected and stored in the pixel. If you do not want the use of Google’s cookies, you can opt out of this in Google’s settings.
