1.3.1. What cookies does Facebook Ireland Ltd. use?

The website www.plumastudios.hr collects, uses and manages your personal data located on the website www.plumastudios.hr.

We use cookies if you have a Facebook account, if you use Facebook products, including our Facebook page and applications, or if you visit other websites and applications that use Facebook products (including the “Like” button or other Facebook technologies).

Cookies allow Facebook to offer you its products and to understand the data it receives about you, including data about your use of other websites and applications, regardless of whether you are registered or logged in.

Cookies help provide, protect and improve Facebook products, for example by personalizing content, customizing and measuring ads, and enabling a safer environment. Although the cookies used by Facebook may change from time to time in accordance with improvements and updates to Facebook products, they are used for the following purposes:

– Authentication: We use cookies to verify your user account and determine whether you are logged in to facilitate your access to Facebook products and display appropriate content and features. For example, we use cookies so that you can stay logged in while moving from one Facebook page to another. Cookies are also used to remember your browser so that you do not have to constantly log in to Facebook and to log in more easily through third-party applications and websites.

– Security and integrity of the website and products: We use cookies to protect your user account, data and Facebook products. For example, we can use cookies to recognize and impose additional security measures when someone tries to access a user’s Facebook account without authorization, for example by quickly guessing different passwords. We also use cookies to store data with which we can recover your user account if you forget your password or request additional authentication if you inform us that the user account has been hacked.

– We also use cookies to suppress activities that violate our rules or otherwise prevent the proper provision of Facebook products. For example, we use cookies to combat spam and phishing attempts because they allow us to identify the computers that create numerous fake Facebook user accounts. With the help of cookies, we also detect computers that are infected with malicious software and take measures to prevent additional damage. In addition, we use cookies to prevent minors from registering for a Facebook user account.

– Advertising, recommendations, analytics and measurement: Cookies help us display ads and make recommendations for businesses and other organizations to people who may be interested in their products, services or goals. For example, cookies help us deliver ads to people who have previously visited a company’s website, purchased its products, or used its apps, and recommend products and services based on that activity. Cookies also allow us to limit the number of ad impressions so that you don’t see the same ad over and over again.

– We also use cookies to measure the success of advertising campaigns for companies that use Facebook products. For example, we use cookies to count the number of times an ad is displayed and calculate the cost of the ad. We also use cookies to measure how many times users, for example, click on an ad or view it.

– Cookies allow us to display ads and measure their success in different browsers and on different devices used by the same person. For example, we can use cookies to prevent the same ad from constantly being displayed on various devices you use.

– Cookies also allow us to gain insight into people who use Facebook products and people who interact with advertisers’ ads, websites and applications, as well as businesses that use Facebook products. For example, we use cookies to help businesses understand which groups of people like their Facebook page or use their apps so that they can provide more relevant content and develop features that are likely to interest their customers. We also use cookies to enable you to turn off the display of ads on Facebook based on activity on other websites. Learn more about the data we receive, how we decide which ads to show you inside and outside of Facebook products, and the settings you can control.

– Website features and services: cookies enable the use of functions that we need to provide Facebook products. For example, cookies help us store your preferences, know when you’ve viewed or interacted with Facebook product content, and provide you with customized content and experience. Cookies, for example, enable us to offer you and others suggestions and to customize content on other websites that contain our social network plugins. If you are a page administrator, cookies allow you to switch from posting on your personal Facebook user account to posting from the page and vice versa.

– We also use cookies to provide content that is relevant to the area you are in. For example, in a cookie that is placed in your browser or on your device, we can store data that enables the display of a certain website in the desired language.

– Performance: we use cookies to provide you with the best possible service experience. For example, cookies allow us to direct traffic between servers and find out how quickly Facebook products load for different people. We also use cookies to record the aspect ratio and dimensions of the screens and windows you use, and to determine whether you have enabled high-contrast mode so that we can properly display websites and applications.

– Analytics and research: we use cookies to gain insight into the use of Facebook products so that we can improve them. For example, we use cookies to determine how the Facebook service is used, analyze which parts of Facebook products are the most useful and interesting for users, and identify features that can be improved.

All mentioned cookies are placed on your computer or device if you use products provided by other members of Facebook companies and websites and applications provided by other companies that use Facebook products, including companies that incorporate Facebook technologies into their websites and applications.

Facebook uses cookies and receives data when you visit these websites and applications, including device data and data about your activity without any additional action on your part. This happens regardless of whether you have a Facebook account and whether you are logged in or not.

Do other parties use cookies associated with Facebook products?

Yes, third parties may use cookies on Facebook products to provide services to us and businesses that advertise on Facebook.

Our measurement partners, for example, use cookies on Facebook products to help advertisers understand the effectiveness of advertising campaigns on Facebook and to compare the performance of those campaigns with ads displayed on other websites and in other applications. Learn more about companies that use cookies in Facebook products.

Third parties also use cookies on their own websites and in their own applications in connection with Facebook products. To find out how other parties use cookies, please review their policies.

How to manage how Facebook uses cookies to display ads?

One of the reasons we use cookies is to show you useful and relevant ads on and off Facebook. You can control how we use data to serve you ads using the tools described below.

If you have a Facebook account:

•Using your ad settings, you can find out why a particular ad is being shown to you and manage how we use the data collected to show you ads.

•In order to show you better ads, we use information that advertisers and other partners provide us about your activity outside of Facebook company products, including websites and apps.

You can control whether we use this data to show you ads in your ad settings.

•Facebook’s Audience Network is a tool that advertisers use to show you ads in apps and on websites outside of Facebook company products. One of the ways Audience Network shows you relevant ads is by using your ad preferences to determine which ads might be of interest to you. You can manage this in your ad settings.

Regardless of whether you have a Facebook account:

You can opt out of the display of online interest ads displayed by Facebook and other companies through the Digital Advertising Alliance in the USA, the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada in Canada or the European Association for Interactive Digital Advertising in Europe or through the settings of your mobile device. Please note that ad blocking software and tools that limit our use of cookies may interfere with these controls.

Additional information about advertising on the Internet:

The advertising companies we cooperate with mostly use cookies and similar technologies as part of their services. To learn more about how advertisers generally use cookies and the choices they offer, please explore the following resources: Digital Advertising Alliance, Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada, and European Interactive Digital Advertising Association.

Managing cookies in the browser:

In addition, your browser or device may contain settings that allow you to choose whether cookies are stored in your browser and the ability to delete cookies. For more information about these controls, see your browser or device help. If you disable the use of cookies in your browser, some parts of Facebook products may not function properly.
 
1.3.2. What cookies do Google LLC and its affiliated companies use?

The website www.plumastudios.hr also uses certain Google services based on which, through cookies and Google LLC collects certain personal data.

When we talk about Google services, the following terms are considered:

– Google applications

– websites

– devices such as Search, YouTube and Google Home platforms such as the Chrome browser and the Android operating system

– products that are integrated into third-party applications and websites such as advertisements

– built-in Google maps

When you’re signed in and interact with some Google services, such as posting a comment on a YouTube video or a song review on Play, your name and picture will appear next to your activity. Google may also display this data in ads, depending on the setting.

Google does not share your personal information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of Google, except in the following cases:

1. With your consent;

Google can share your personal data outside of Google only with your consent. For example, if you ask a ride-sharing service for a ride through Google Home, Google will ask for your permission before sharing your address with that service. Furthermore, Google will seek your express consent to share any sensitive personal data.

2. With domain administrators;

If you are a student or work for an organization that uses Google services (such as G Suite), the domain administrator and the resellers who manage your account will have access to your Google Account. They will be able to:

• access data stored in your account, for example your e-mail, and retain this data

• view statistics related to your account, for example the number of applications you install

• change your account password

• temporarily suspend or permanently terminate access to your account

• receive information about your account to comply with applicable law, regulation, protection against infringement of the rights, property or safety of Google, our users or the public as required or permitted by law.

Google may share non-identifying information publicly and with its partners, such as publishers, advertisers, developers or rights holders. For example, Google shares data publicly to show trends about the general use of Google services. Likewise, Google allows certain partners to collect data from your browser or device for advertising and measurement purposes through their own cookies or similar technologies.

Google LLC uses cookies for many purposes. For example, to remember your safe search settings, to make the ads you see more relevant to you, to count visitors to a particular page, to help you register for certain Google services, to protect your data or to remember your ad settings.

Below you can see a list of the types of cookies used by Google and at the same time find out how Google and its partners use cookies in advertising.

a) Use of “Settings” cookies

These cookies allow Google websites to remember information that changes the way the website behaves or looks, such as your chosen language or region. For example, when it remembers what area you’re in, the site can offer local weather or traffic news. These cookies can also help you change the text size, font and other parts of the web pages that you can customize.

If the information stored in the settings cookie is lost, the use of the website may lose functionality, but this should not prevent the website from working.

Example:

Most Google users have a settings cookie called “NID” in their browser. The browser sends this cookie with requests to Google websites. The “NID” cookie contains a unique ID that Google uses to store your settings and other information, for example, your selected language (e.g. Croatian), how many search results you want to be displayed on the page (e.g. 10 or 20) and whether you want that Google’s safe search filter is turned on.

b) Use of “Security” cookies

Google uses security cookies to authenticate users, prevent unauthorized use of login credentials, and protect user data from unauthorized parties.

Example:

Google uses “SID” and “HSID” cookies, which contain digitally signed and encrypted records of the user’s Google account ID and the time of the last login. The combination of these two cookies enables Google to block many types of attacks, for example, attempts to steal the content of forms you have filled out on web pages.

c) Use of “Process” cookies

Process cookies help websites to operate and provide the services that website visitors expect, for example, helping them navigate websites or access secured areas of the website. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly.

Example:

Google uses a cookie called “lbcs” that allows Google Docs to open multiple documents in one browser. Blocking that cookie would prevent Google Docs from working properly.

d) Use of “Advertising” cookies

This category of cookies helps Google make advertising more interesting to users and more valuable to publishers and advertisers. Cookies are typically used to select ads based on their relevance to the user, to improve reporting on campaign performance, and to avoid showing the same ads to an individual user.

Example:

NID and SID cookies are used by Google to customize ads on Google products such as Google Search. For example, Google uses your cookies to remember your most recent searches, your previous interactions with advertisers’ ads or search results, and your visits to advertisers’ websites. The latter enables the display of customized ads on Google.

Google also uses one or more cookies for the ads it serves on the web. One of the main advertising cookies on non-Google websites is called “IDE” and is stored in browsers under the domain doubleclick.net. Another cookie of the same type is stored under the domain google.com and is called “ANID”.

Google also uses other cookies such as DSID, FLC, AID, TAID and exchange_uid. Other Google products, such as YouTube, may also use these cookies to show more relevant ads.

Sometimes advertising cookies may be placed on the domain of the website you visited. In the case of advertising served by Google across the web, cookies “__gads” or “__gac” may be set on the domain of the website visited.

Unlike cookies that are set on Google domains, Google cannot read these cookies when you are on websites where they are not set.

Their purpose is to measure interactions with ads on that domain and prevent users from being overly served the same ads.

Google also uses conversion cookies whose main purpose is to help advertisers determine how many times people who click on their ad actually buy their products.

With these cookies, Google and the advertiser can determine that you clicked on an ad and later visited the advertiser’s website. Google does not use conversion cookies for custom ad targeting, and these cookies are only retained for a limited time. A special “Conversion” cookie is intended for this purpose. It is usually set on the domain googleadservices.com or google.com (the list of domains we use for advertising cookies can be found at the bottom of this page). Some of our remaining cookies may also be used to measure conversion events. For example, cookies from DoubleClick and Google Analytics can also be used for this purpose.

Google also uses “AID”, “DSID” and “TAID” cookies, which connect your activities on different devices if you previously signed in to a Google account on another device. The mentioned cookies can be placed on the domains google.com/ads, google.com/ads/measurement or googleadservices.com. If you do not want the ads shown to you to be coordinated across multiple devices, you can turn off Ad Customization in Ads Settings.

e) Use of “Session Status” cookies

Websites often collect information about how users interact with the website. This may include information about which pages users visit most often and whether they receive error messages from certain pages. These “session state cookies” help Google improve its services to provide users with a better browsing experience.

Blocking or deleting these cookies will not render the website unusable.

The aforementioned cookies can also be used to anonymously measure the effectiveness of PPC (pay-per-click) and affiliate advertising.

Example:

A cookie called “recently_watched_video_id_list” is used so that the YouTube service records which videos a particular browser has watched recently.

f) Use of “Analytics” cookies

Google Analytics is Google’s analytics tool that helps website owners, including the owners of the www.plumastudios.com website, as well as applications, to find out how their visitors use the options on their websites and applications. A set of cookies may be used to collect information and report website usage statistics without revealing the identity of individual users to Google. The main cookie of Google Analytics is “_ga”.

In addition to reporting website usage statistics, Google Analytics may be used, together with some of the advertising cookies described above, to display more relevant ads on Google products (e.g., Google search) and on the web, and to measure interactions with the ads we display.
