• Facebook Conversion

On the other hand, Maren Jewellery wants to use the Facebook Pixel to ensure that our Facebook ads match the potential interests of users and do not appear intrusive. With the help of the Facebook Pixel, we can track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called "conversion").

Due to the use of the Facebook Pixel, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Facebook's server, provided you have consented to the use of marketing cookies.

If you visit other websites that also use "Facebook Conversion," this information will also be linked to your user account. However, we cannot see which other websites you visit. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can associate your visits with your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or are not logged in, it is possible that Facebook can obtain and store your IP address and other identifying features.

The processing of your data by Facebook is carried out in accordance with Facebook's data policy, available at https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. You can also find more information and details about the Facebook Pixel and how it works in the Facebook Help Center, available at: https://www.facebook.com/business/help.
