We use Facebook Pixel if you have granted your consent. Facebook Pixel is a service of Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. Meta Platforms Inc. has its headquarters in the USA (Meta Platforms Inc., One Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA)
Facebook Pixel is a tracking technology offered by Facebook and used by other Facebook services. It is used to track visitors’ interactions with websites (“Events”) after they have clicked on an ad placed on Facebook or other services provided by Meta (“Conversion”). The used technology allows the measurement, evaluation and optimisation of the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes.
The use of Facebook Pixel by FBB does not allow us to draw any conclusions about the user’s person. The data collected (e.g. the user’s IP address) are forwarded to Facebook by the action pixel. Such data are stored and processed by Facebook for the purpose of conversion measurement. FBB receives reports from Facebook on conversion measurement in pseudonymised form. These reports also do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the identity of the users. However, it cannot be ruled out that Facebook may link the forwarded data with other personal data relating to you (e.g. user data for an existing Facebook account) or that Facebook may use corresponding data for its own further purposes.
A Cookie or pixel may be stored on your computer for the purpose of using the Facebook Pixel and tracking corresponding activities.
We exert no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Facebook via use of the Facebook Pixel and, therefore, present the processes known to us: By way of the integration of the Facebook Pixel, Facebook receives the information that you have called up on the corresponding web page of our website or clicked on one of our advertisements. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, it is possible that Facebook shall gain knowledge of your IP address and other identifying features and use them to create your profile.
Data processed by Facebook Pixel: Ads viewed, content viewed, device information, geographic location, HTTP headers, interactions with advertisement, services and products, IP address, items clicked, marketing information, pages visited, pixel ID, referrer URL, usage data, user behaviour, Facebook Cookie information, Facebook user ID, usage/click behaviour, browser information, device operating system, device ID, user agent, browser type.
For further information regarding data processing by Facebook, please refer to Facebook’s corresponding privacy statement at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/
The longest potential storage period on a device set when using the Cookie storage method is 1 year.
This service may forward the collected data to another country. Please note that this service may forward data to a country that does not provide an adequate level of data protection. It cannot be excluded that the information collected by Facebook is also stored on Facebook servers in the USA. According to the view to date of the European Court of Justice, the laws of the USA do not guarantee an adequate level of data protection. Your data may, in particular, be accessed by US authorities without your knowledge and without you having any effective legal protection against this.
However, the European Commission adopted its adequacy decision for the USA on 10 July 2023. Meta is certified in accordance with the EU-US Privacy Framework. Data forwarding is, therefore, permitted. We have also entered into the EU standard contractual clauses with the provider because Meta servers are distributed worldwide and forwarding to third countries (for example to Singapore) cannot be completely ruled out.
To exercise your data protection rights, you can contact either us or Google. If we receive corresponding requests then we shall forward these, if necessary, to Google for processing without delay.
For more information on the security guarantees, please refer to Meta’s privacy policy as the operator of Facebook.

The legal basis for processing is your consent according to Article 6(1), Point a), GDPR, to the use of the corresponding technology and, with regard to the forwarding of your data to the USA, your consent according to Article 49(1), Point a), GDPR.
