Retargeting

Facebook Pixel, Custom Audiences and Facebook Marketing Services

In order to accurately market the products available on mattbeighton.co.uk and to ensure any advertising isn’t a nuisance, this site uses a “Facebook pixel” to enable anonymous tracking. These “pixels” are operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or if you are a resident of the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”).

Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thereby offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law.

With the help of the Facebook pixel, Facebook is on the one hand able to determine the visitors of this website as a target group for the presentation of advertisements (so-called “Facebook ads”). I use the Facebook pixel to display our Facebook ads to Facebook users who have shown an interest in our website or who have specific characteristics (e. g. interests in certain topics or products determined by the websites visited) that we submit to Facebook (so-called “custom audiences”). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we also want to make sure that our Facebook ads are in line with the potential interest of users and do not have a nuisance effect. Using the Facebook pixel, we can also track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users have been redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called “conversion tracking”).

The Facebook pixel is directly integrated into our website by Facebook and stores a cookie on your device. If you then log in to Facebook or visit Facebook when you are logged in, your visit to our online offer will be noted in your profile. The data collected about you is anonymous to mattbeighton.co.uk. However, data may be stored and processed by Facebook for its own market research and advertising purposes. Any data sent to Facebook is done so securely using the HTTPS protocol.

Facebook’s processing of the data is governed by Facebooks Data Usage Policy. Accordingly, general instructions on how to display Facebook ads, in the Facebook Data Usage Policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. For specific information and details about the Facebook pixel and how it works, please visit the Facebook Help Center: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616.

You may object to the collection by the Facebook pixel and use of your data to display Facebook ads. To set what kind of ads you see on Facebook, you can go to the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions on how to set up use-based advertising: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads.
