Google Analytics

This is a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. It collects information about visitor behaviour on our website and stores information about what pages you visit, how long you are on the site, how you got here and what you click on. This Analytics data is collected via a JavaScript tag in the pages of our site and is not tied to personally identifiable information. We therefore do not collect or store your personal information (e.g. your name or address) so this information cannot be used to identify who you are.

Facebook Custom Audience Pixel

To provide targeted advertising on Facebook. This cookie will help deliver our advertising to people who have already visited our website when they are on Facebook or a digital platform powered by Facebook Advertising. Please see below for further information.

A custom audience pixel is a tiny piece of java script code that we have incorporated into each of our web pages. This piece of code provides a series of functions for transmitting application-specific events and user-defined data to Facebook. We use custom audience pixels to record information about the way visitors use our website. For this reason, each of our web pages contains a custom audience pixel. This pixel records information about the user’s browser session, which it sends to Facebook, along with a hashed version of the Facebook ID and the URL viewed. Every Facebook user has a unique device-independent Facebook ID that allows us to address and recognise users across a range of devices using the Facebook social network, so that we can address our visitors for commercial purposes using Facebook ads. The user information will be deleted after 180 days, until the user visits our website again.

“Custom Audience from Your Website” respects your privacy. Thus, no personal information about individual visitors to the website will be disclosed to the Kennel Club and The Kennel Club can only advertise to website customer target groups in a targeted way once the customer target group has reached a critical mass. This makes it impossible for The Kennel Club to discover the identity of individual visitors.

GoogleAds

A remarketing tag pixel uses your IP address as the unique identifier; however, it will not contain data such as your name, home address or phone number.
