For our marketing campaigns on Facebook, we use the tool "Pixel", which integrates a cookie created by Facebook into some of our web pages. With that pixel, Facebook can track the actions of its users from an advertisement on the social network to a web page on our website. Facebook will then be able to recognize on its platform the user who visited the web page in question, provide tailored services, and place more targeted advertisements. This data processing does not apply to those who are not on Facebook.
