LinkedIn Insight Tag A pixel (also called a „web beacon“ or „pixel tag“) is a mostly invisible electronic image, usually no larger than 1 pixel x 1 pixel, that is placed on a website or in an email and used to view visitors‘ online behavior on the website or when sending emails. Web beacons are provided by third party vendors. A cookie may further be stored on your computer for these purposes. We use the LinkedIn Conversion Pixel of the LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 West Maude Avenue, Sunnyvale CA 94085, USA („LinkedIn“) within our website for marketing purposes. This allows us to track the actions of users after they have seen or clicked on an advertisement from LinkedIn. So, we can track the effectiveness of ads for statistical and market research purposes, optimize our advertising, and improve targeting for the benefit of our users and customers (users see more relevant ads). Furthermore, this pixel serves to present interest-related advertisements („Ads“) to our website visitors in the context of visiting the social network LinkedIn or its advertising partners. The data collected in this way is pseudonymous for us, which means that we do not see the personal data of individual users. However, this data is stored and processed by LinkedIn, about which we inform you according to our level of knowledge. LinkedIn might associate this data with your respective account on the platform and might also use it for its own advertising purposes according to their respective policies.
