Advertising
PiggieQuiz also uses ad network providers, ad exchanges and ad servers (“Advertising Partners”) to help present
advertisements on the Websites. These Advertising Partners use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies for
presenting, better targeting, and measuring the effectiveness of their advertisements, using data gathered over
time and across their networks of web pages to determine or predict the characteristics and preferences of their
audiences (“Advertising Data”). PiggieQuiz processes such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Our Advertising Partners may act as a data processor or data controller with regards to the Advertising Data,
depending on the scope of their services. The Advertising Partners are responsible for their compliance with the
applicable data protection legislation. The use of cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies by such third
parties as ad network providers is subject to their own privacy policies, not this Privacy Policy. The legal
basis for the processing of the Advertising Data is consent.
The Google Marketing Services enable us to display
ads for and on our Websites and Service in a more targeted manner so that users are only shown ads which might
actually be of interest to them. For this purpose, as soon as the user accesses our Websites, or other websites
on which Google Marketing Services have been activated, Google immediately executes a re-marketing tag which is
integrated into the Website. With the help of these tags, an individual cookie, is stored on the users’ device.
The cookies can be set from various domains, including google.tv and doubleclick.net. This file keeps a record
of which websites the user visits, what content he/she is interested in and which offers he/she has clicked on,
as well as technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of access and
other details about the use of the website content. The users’ IP address is also recorded, whereby we, within
the context of Google Analytics, would like to point out that, within member states of the European Union or in
other countries that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, the IP address is truncated and
only transmitted in its entirety to a Google server in the US and truncated there in exceptional cases. The IP
address will not be linked with any of the user’s data from other services offered by Google. The aforementioned
information can also be combined with equivalent information from other sources. If the user visits other
websites afterwards, he/she can only be shown the ads that directly reflect his/her interests.
Within the scope
of Google Marketing Services, the users’ data is processed pseudonymously. This means that Google does not, for
example, store and process the users’ name or e-mail address, instead processing the relevant data on basis of
the cookies within pseudonymous user profiles. In other words, from Google’s point of view, the ads are managed
and displayed for the cookie owner, regardless of who the cookie owner is, rather than for a specifically
identified person. This shall not apply where the user has expressly permitted Google to process the data
without this pseudonymization. The information collected about the users via “DoubleClick” shall be transmitted
to Google and stored on Google’s servers in the US.
On basis of Google Marketing Services, we integrate
third-party “DoubleClick” ads. DoubleClick uses cookies that enable Google and its partner websites to run ads
based on users visiting this or other websites. We also integrate third-party “AdSense” ads. AdSense uses
cookies that enable Google and its partner websites to run ads based on users visiting this or other websites.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. Google Analytics uses cookies to
gather information about the user’s interaction and engagement with the website. This information, including the
user’s IP address, are used to evaluate the user’s interactions with the website, compile reports on website
activity for website operators, and provide other services related to website activity and internet usage.
Google Analytics will not associate the user’s IP address with any personally identifiable information.
As with
other cookies, the user may opt out of granting access to cookies by modifying the appropriate settings in the
user’s web browser. However, this might compromise the user’s access to the full functionality of the We
website. Continuous use of the We website will be considered the user’s express consent to the processing of
their data by Google Analytics for the purposes stated above.
