We use Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is a solution, with which marketers can manage website tags via an interface. The Tag Manager tool itself is a domain without cookies and the tool does not collect any personal data. The tool triggers other tags, which for their part may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If disabled at the domain or cookie level, this remains the case for all tracking tags that were implemented with Google Tag Manager.
Google Adwords
We use the online advertising program “Google AdWords” and conversion tracking within the framework of Google AdWords. Google Conversion Tracking is an analytical service by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland ("Google"). When you click on an advertisement placed by Google, a cookie for the conversion tracking will be placed on your computer. The cookies have limited validity, contain no personal data and do not enable a personal identification. If you visit certain internet pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that you clicked on the advertisement and were redirected to this site. Every Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. It is therefore not possible for cookies to be tracked over the websites of Google AdWords customers. The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie serves for the creation of conversion statistics for AdWords customers, who have selected conversion tracking. Hereby, the customers learn the total number of users that have clicked on their advert and have been redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. They receive, however, no information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can opt out by blocking the installation of cookies through a corresponding setting in your browser software (deactivation option). Upon opting out you will not be recorded in the conversion tracking statistics. You can find further information as well as Google’s privacy policy here.

Facebook Pixel and SDK
We use the "Facebook Pixel" on our websites https://www.lea.dating and https://lea.blog/ and in our Lea App the "Software Developer KIT" (SDK) of the social network Facebook, 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, United States. These counting pixels are integrated on our pages and in the Lea app. When visiting our websites and using our app, a direct connection between your browser or mobile device and the Facebook server is being established.
Facebook gets the information from your browser that our website has received from your device. If you are a Facebook user, Facebook may assign your visit to our Sites and the use of our App to your account. We point out that we are not aware of the content of the transmitted data and their use by Facebook. We can only choose which category of Facebook users (such as age, interests) our ad should display.
By calling the pixel from your browser, Facebook can also tell if a Facebook ad was successful. In this way we record the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes.
We use the data obtained from the Facebook pixel in the Facebook analysis tool "Facebook Analytics" to optimize our websites and our app.

Links to Planet Mobile Services Ltd. accounts with the social networks Instagram and Facebook are incorporated on the Lea domain. After clicking on the integrated graphic, the user will be redirected to the respective provider of Instagram or Facebook. This means that only then will user information be transmitted to the respective provider.
If the user is logged in to their user profile on the respective social network, after activation of the button, an association with the Lea visit is made.
If the user does not want data to be collected via the Lea domain by the social networks, they should log out of these before visiting the Lea domain. However, every time the corresponding button is activated through a click, a cookie or cookies with an identifier are set by Lea. Data could be collected and a profile created through the use of this function, which could, under certain circumstances, be traced back to an individual person. If the user does not want this, they can deactivate the link within the Lea domain with a click. The user can also set up their browser in such a way so as to generally exclude the use of cookies. We point out, however, that, in this case, functionality of Lea could be limited.
