Facebook Pixel

We utilise third-party services such as Facebook and Instagram (Facebook Pixel) to display personalised ads on their platforms. Facebook Ireland Ltd operates these platforms.

We share encrypted information about your website activity and personal data with Facebook via a pixel, including your user-ID, IP address, browser information, and button clicks. This allows us to display interest-based ads on Facebook, Instagram, and other websites, and make our website more interesting for you.

Our marketing tools connect with Facebook’s servers, but we can’t control how Facebook uses the data collected through their pixel. Facebook may link your visit to our site or ad click to your account if you’re a user. If you’re not a user, your IP address may still be stored. We use the Facebook pixel to improve our ads and receive anonymous reports.
