We also use data that does not identify you to improve ad relevance and reach members across devices. LinkedIn members can control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes through their account settings.

5.

HotJar

We use HotJar as a web analysis service. With this tool, movements on our website can be traced(so-called heat maps). For example, it can be recognized how far users scroll and how often users click which buttons. In addition, with the help of this tool it is also possible to collect feedback directly from users of the website. In this way we collect valuable information to make our websites even faster and more customer-friendly. When using this tool, we pay particular attention to the protection of your personal data. For example, we can only check which buttons you click and how far you scroll. Parts of the websites, in which personal data of you are shown, are automatically hidden by Hotjar and are therefore never traceable. Hotjar offers every user the option to terminate the use of the Hotjar tool with the help of a “Do Not Track-Headers”, so that no data about the visit of our website is recorded. This is a setting that supports all common browsers in the current versions. To this end, your browser sends a request to Hotjar, with the instruction to disable tracking of the respective user. If you use our website with different browsers or computers, you must set the “Do Not Track-Header” for each of these browsers / computers separately. Detailed instructions with information for your browser can be found at: https://www.hotjar.com/opt-out. Hotjar's privacy statement can be found at: https://www.hotjar.com/privacy

Facebook pixel

If explicit permission has been given, this can be used to track user behavior after seeing or clicking an advertising ad from Facebook. This process serves to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook advertising ads for statistical and market research purposes and can help optimize future promotional activities.
The data obtained is anonymous to us and therefore does not provide us with further information about the identity of the user. However, the data is stored by Facebook and processed in such a way that it is possible to link to a specific user profile.Facebook can therefore use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with Facebook's privacy policy
(https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).
You can make it possible for Facebook and its partners to place advertising ads on and offFacebook. In addition, a cookie may be stored on your computer for these purposes. These processing activities only take place if express consent has been given in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
