May I use cookies for statistics and marketing? I am Edis of Accessible3D (EA consulting v/Edis Adilovic). I ask about two things, and you can choose each one on its own.
Choose what I may use Marketing (Meta) Because I make products for blind and partially sighted people, Meta may be able to infer that you or someone close to you has a visual impairment. By choosing Marketing you explicitly consent to this.
I use Meta (Facebook and Instagram) to measure whether my ads lead to newsletter signups and purchases. No Meta code runs on this website.
If you arrive from Facebook or Instagram, for example from one of my ads, I keep the click id Meta adds to the link in a cookie. When you sign up or buy, my server tells Meta that it happened, with the click id, your IP address and browser type, the amount, and for purchases your email address as a hashed code that Meta can match to your Meta account.
Meta and I are joint controllers for this. Meta also uses the data for its own purposes and may transfer it to the US under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
Nothing is set before you choose, and you can change or withdraw your choice at any time via “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page.
