Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to only show the Facebook Ads we place to those Facebook users who also use them have shown interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products, which are determined based on the websites visited), which we transmit to Facebook (so-called “Custom Audiences”).
