6) Google Services and Advertising 🔎

This website uses the following Google services:

  • Google Analytics 4: collects anonymized usage data, device info, and behavioral signals. IP anonymization is enabled. Data retention is set to 14 months. Users may opt out via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
  • Google Ads Conversion Tracking: records when a user completes a defined action (form submission, call, purchase) after clicking one of our ads. This data is used solely for measuring ad campaign performance.
  • Google Remarketing: allows us to show ads to previous visitors across Google’s network. Remarketing lists are not created from sensitive data categories (health, finance, religion, sexual orientation).
  • Google Tag Manager: deploys tracking tags on our behalf. No personal data is collected by GTM itself; it acts as a container for the tags listed above.

Google’s advertising products are governed by: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

7) Meta Advertising Services 📊

This website uses the Meta Pixel to measure the effectiveness of our advertising on Facebook and Instagram. The pixel may record:

  • Custom audience membership for retargeting purposes

We do not use the Meta Pixel to collect sensitive personal data, nor to target users based on health status, financial situation, religion, political views, sexual orientation, or any other special-category attribute prohibited under Meta’s advertising policies.

Meta acts as an independent data controller for data collected via its Pixel and processed within its own platform. Refer to Meta’s Data Policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy

9) Landing Page Integrity Statement ✔️

The content of this website accurately represents the products and services advertised. No bait-and-switch practices are employed. The experience delivered to users arriving from paid advertisements is identical to the experience for all other visitors. Cloaking, automatic redirects, and content variation by traffic source are not used on this website.
