Technical data and cookie management
Our system automatically records the IP address of the user’s computer, the starting time of the visit and, in some cases, the type of browser and operating system, depending on the computer’s settings. The data thus recorded cannot be linked to other personal data. The data are processed for statistical purposes. Cookies allow the website to recognise previous visitors. Cookies help us to optimise the website, to tailor the website’s services to users’ habits. Cookies can also be used to:
- remember the settings so that the user does not have to re-enter them when entering a new page,
- remember previously entered data, so you don’t have to re-enter it,
- analyse the use of the website in order to make improvements using this information to ensure that it works as well as possible for the user and that the user can easily find the information they are looking for,
- monitor the effectiveness of advertising.
If we display various content on the website using external web services, this may result in the storage of some cookies that are not under the control of BuildEXT Ltd. as the Data Controller, so we have no control over what data these websites or external domains collect. Information about these cookies is provided in the policies for the relevant service.
As the Data Controller, we use cookies and web beacons, pixels to display advertisements to Users via Google and Facebook, subject to their explicit consent. This also applies to the transmission of event data such as page views or the completion of a form. The data processing is carried out without human intervention.
The user can set their web browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify the user when a cookie is received. The setting options are usually found in the “Options” or “Settings” menu of the browser. By disabling cookies, the User acknowledges that without cookies, the website will not function fully. The detailed information available on the English website www.aboutcookies.org will also help you with the settings in the various browsers.
Google Ads
We use an online advertising program called “Google Ads” and we use Google’s conversion tracking service as part of this. Google Conversion Tracking is an analytics service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). When you visit a website using a Google ad, a cookie is placed on your computer for conversion tracking. The validity of these cookies is limited. When the User browses certain pages of the website and the cookie has not expired, Google and the Data Controller may see that the User has clicked on the advertisement. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie, so they cannot be tracked through the Ads customers’ websites. The information obtained through conversion tracking cookies is used to provide conversion statistics for Ads customers who opt for conversion tracking. Customers are then informed of the number of users who click on their ad and are referred to a page with a conversion tracking tag. Conversion tracking can be disabled by disabling the option to set cookies in the browser. More information and Google’s privacy statement can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Google Analytics
Our sites use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics also uses cookies, which are saved on your browser device to help analyse the use of the website you visit, and we may use this information for marketing purposes with your consent. The information generated by the cookie about the website you visit is usually transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. By activating the IP anonymisation on the website, Google will previously shorten the IP address of the user within the Member States of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
Google will use this information to evaluate the usage patterns of visitors to our website, to compile reports on website activity for us and to provide us with additional services relating to website and internet usage. Google Analytics will not associate the IP address transmitted by your browser with any other data held by Google. The storage of cookies can be prevented by configuring your browser accordingly, in which case you may not be able to use all the functions of our website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting and processing data (including your IP address) about your use of this website by using the browser plugin https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=hu.
We also use Google Analytics to analyse the traffic on our website for system development purposes, in which case we do not collect any personal data. Such data will be shared with other Google services for development purposes.
Facebook ads
As a Data Controller, we use Facebook’s advertising system and the Facebook pixel solution. Facebook Ads is a service of Facebook Inc., 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin Ireland. When visitors visit one of our websites, a cookie is placed on their computer with their consent. The validity of these cookies is limited. When visitors browse certain pages of the website and the cookie has not expired, Facebook and the Data Controller can see which pages the visitor has visited and which pages they have viewed. Each visitor receives a different Facebook cookie, and the information we obtain from these cookies helps us to serve ads to our website visitors more accurately, as well as providing us with conversion information.
If the visitor does not want conversion tracking, they can disable the option to set cookies in their browser, after which our visit and conversion tracking statistics will not include their data. We also use the cookie installed by Facebook Pixel to collect events from visitors to our websites, such as visiting the site or filling in a form, after their explicit consent. By withdrawing the consent required for the Facebook pixel to work, the associated cookies are deleted from the browser when the page reloads. You can change your own advertising preferences on the Facebook interface at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences, and Facebook’s privacy information can be found at https://www.facebook.com/privacy
