In terms of information about user preferences collected by the Google advertising network, the user can view and edit information resulting from cookies using the following tool: https://www.google.com/ads/preferences/
The operator uses remarketing techniques to tailor advertising messages to user behavior on the site, which may give the impression that the user’s personal data is used for tracking, but in practice, no personal data is transferred from the operator to the advertising operators. The technological condition for such actions is the use of cookies.
The operator uses the Facebook pixel. This technology allows Facebook (Facebook Inc., based in the USA) to know that a registered person uses the service.
