Third-party tools we use

For the management and measurement of the site we use the following services, which may process data as processors or independent controllers:

  • Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Ltd.) — aggregated statistics on site usage, activated only after consent, with anonymised IP and the non-essential advertising features disabled.

  • Meta Pixel (Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.) — measures the results of campaigns on Facebook and Instagram and enables remarketing, activated only after consent to marketing cookies.
  • Microsoft Clarity (Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd.) — records the session (scrolling, clicks, path) to understand how the site is used and what does not work, activated only after consent to session recording.
  • Google Search Console (Google Ireland Ltd.) — aggregated and anonymous data on ranking in search results; it sets no cookies on the user's device.
  • Hosting providers, e-mail (Google Workspace) and productivity tools, and the sales CRM (EspoCRM), appointed processors of the data under Art. 28 GDPR.
Data may be processed by Google Ireland Limited (Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, and Google Search Console), Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. (Meta Pixel), and Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd.

The data is not used for purposes other than those stated in this notice.

Some providers (in particular Google, Meta, and Microsoft) may transfer data to third countries, including the United States.
