THIRD PARTY COOKIES

a. Cookies placed on parts of the Website by third parties

The Website is likely to contain cookies set by third parties (communication agencies, audience measurement companies, targeted advertising providers, etc.) enabling them, for as long as their cookies remain valid, to:

  • Collect browsing information relating to visitors of the Website; and
  • Determine the advertising content likely to correspond with your center of interest so as to send you targeted advertisements relating to your browsing history as collected by the third party.

B. COOKIES INTEGRAL TO THIRD PARTY APPLICATIONS ON THE WEBSITE

We may include software applications on our site originating from third parties, which will enable you to share the content of our site with other people or to notify them of your visits to, or opinions of, content on our site. This is the case, for example, with the “Share” button set by social networks such as Facebook, Twitter or Google+.

The relevant social network is likely to identify you through this button, even if you have not specifically used it when visiting our site. This type of application button may enable the social network concerned to monitor your browsing on our site, merely due to your social network account being activated on your browser (active session) while you browse on our site.

We have no control over the processes used by social networks to collect information relating to your browsing on our site and associated with the personal data they hold. We recommend you consult the terms and conditions of use relating to your data on these social networks to establish the purposes for which they use the browsing information they may collect through these application buttons (particularly advertising). You should be aware however that the terms and conditions of use of these social networks may allow you to control the use of your data by these social networks by configuring your user accounts with them.

C. PIXELS

We have implemented one or more social media pixels or other Java script enabled trackers (including the “visitor action pixels” from Facebook) on the Website. Social media pixels are made available to us by the relevant social media platform.

Social media pixels enable us to track the behavior of users after they have been redirected to the Website by clicking on a link that we published on the social media platform. This allows us to measure the effectiveness of our advertisements and communications for statistical and market research purposes. The data collected by the social media platform and Damn Damn Noodles consists of your IP address (including associated location information), your user agent or browser string and specific information on how you interact with the Website. The user agent or browser string provides the basics as to which operating system your computer or mobile phone is running, basic security information, screen resolution and the Internet browser that you are using. The social media platform stores and processes all personal data it obtains by means of the social media pixel in accordance with its privacy statement.

You can object to the collection of your data by Facebook pixel, or to the use of your data for the purpose of displaying Facebook ads by contacting the following address: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads.
