The Operator uses statistical analysis of site traffic via Google Analytics (Google Inc., based in the USA).

The Operator uses remarketing techniques to match advertising messages to 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 this is that cookies are enabled.
The Operator uses the Facebook pixel. This technology allows Facebook (Facebook Inc., USA) to know that a person registered with it is using the Website. The Operator does not transmit any additional personal data to Facebook. The service is based on the use of cookies on the user's terminal device.
The Operator uses a solution which examines the behaviour of users by creating heat maps and recording the behaviour on the website. This information is anonymised before it is sent to the operator of the service so that the operator does not know which individual it relates to. In particular, typed passwords and other personal data are not recorded.
The Operator uses a solution which automates the operation of the Website with regard to users, e.g. it may send an e-mail to the user after he has visited a particular subpage, provided that he has consented to receive commercial correspondence from the Operator.
