Cookies for social plug-in content sharing cookies
Our Site does not use third party services in order to share content on social media from members who are already logged in these media. However, social media platforms use their own cookies, which are set up when you share content (e.g. one of our articles) on social media (e.g. Twitter), and usually record some basic information related to the user and transfer them to the server of this platform.
Cookies are usually activated only when you click on the corresponding social network symbol, thus providing your consent for the transfer of your data to the respective provider. The legal basis for using plugins is your consent and the legitimate interest of the provider.
These cookies transmit data such as your IP address to the servers of the respective provider, where they are stored. It is very likely that this data will be used by social media to create profiles about your online behavior. As you can easily understand, we have no control nor influence over the extent of the data collected or the ways in which it is processed, as these are defined by each medium.

D. Cookies and similar targeting / advertising technologies
Facebook Custom Audience Pixel
This Site uses Facebook pixel, a Facebook Inc. service. (1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA). It’s basically a small piece of Javascript code that we’ve integrated into the Site.
This piece of code provides various functions for sending specific data to Facebook about a visitor’s actions. We use this service to record information about how visitors use your website.
This pixel records and provides Facebook with information about the user’s browser settings, a fragmented (hashed) version of the Facebook ID and the URL you are visiting.
In this way, every Facebook user gets a distinct Facebook ID regardless of the device used, through which it is possible to target our visitors again for advertising purposes through Facebook ads.
This information is kept for a maximum period of 180 days. After this period the information is deleted until the visitor visits our website again. The Site does not have the ability to identify users, as we do not receive such data from Facebook, only anonymous statistical information.
We are not able to know what information is provided about users through cookies and other technologies used by Facebook itself. Find out more about Facebook’s data protection policies at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation, your preferences over https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product = ad_settings_screen and how Facebook pixel technology works https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-pixel/pixel-with-ads/website-custom-audiences
