At the same time, if you have chosen to subscribe to the newsletter, in every email received from us there will be an unsubscribe link, the pressing of which will result in the automatic deletion of the data and you will never receive any information from us.

Cookies  Platinum Services Europe does not use cookies. 2.2. Remarketing/targeting and web analytics:  We use remarketing and retargeting to make our offers for internet users more relevant and to continuously improve our advertising offer and marketing operations. This technique enables us to bring Internet users, who have already shown interest in our site or sub-sites, via an advertisement for Connection in the form of a banner or poster ad. For this purpose, the recorded navigation is analysed by means of a suitable tool based on an algorithm. The insertion of these advertisements on the pages of our partners is based on cookies and the analysis of the user's behaviour on the website. The advertisements are displayed in a completely anonymous manner and at no time are personal data or user profiles linked to personal data recorded. For this purpose, we use cookies from the following third-party providers:

2.3. Google Remarketing  On our website, we use the remarketing function "Google AdWords", which is a service of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. This technology allows us to automatically switch to targeted advertising after visiting our website. This advertising relates to the products and services you clicked on during your visit and is generated through the use of Google cookies.

Google normally records information such as your web request, IP address, browser type and language, date and time of your request for this purpose. This information is only used to associate the web browser with a particular computer and cannot be used to identify an individual.

If you do not wish to receive advertising from Google based on your web activity, simply disable the corresponding option in the Google ad management settings.

Please see Google's privacy policy via the following link: https://www.google.fr/intl/fr/policies/privacy/ to learn more about how Google uses cookies. 2.4. Google AdWords & Conversion Tracking  To attract attention to our products, we use Google AdWords ads and, as part of these, the "Conversion Tracking" tool, which is a service of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. These ads appear after searches on sites in the Google network. We may associate our ads with specific keywords. Using cookies, our ads are based on the same user's visits to our website.

When a user clicks on an ad, Google sets a cookie on their computer. For more details on the technology used for cookies, please refer to Google's information on website statistics and privacy policy.

This technology allows Google and ultimately us as a customer to know that a user has clicked on an ad that redirected him to our web pages. The information obtained in this way is used exclusively for statistical evaluation purposes in order to optimise the ads. We do not receive any personally identifiable information. The statistics provided by Google show the total number of users who have clicked on one of our ads and, if applicable, whether they were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag on our website. These statistics allow us to know which keywords most often lead the user to click on one of our ads and which ads lead to contact via the corresponding form. If you wish, you can prohibit the recording of the cookie necessary for these technologies by modifying the settings of your browser. In this case, your visit will not be taken into account in the user statistics.

By accessing the ad settings, you can additionally choose the type of Google ads you want or disable Google ads targeted to your interests. You can also deactivate the option to allow third-party providers to use cookies using the Network Advertising Initiative's deactivation tool.

Custom Audiences / Individualised Advertising  3.1. Advertising on partner sites (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Google):  We use the Custom Audiences procedure on our website. This procedure allows us to transmit our users' data to our partners Facebook, linkedin, Twitter and Google. Our partners compare this data with the data in the user profiles and, if there is a match, can send targeted and tailored information about our products and services. The following categories of personal information are transmitted: e-mail address, mobile phone number. The hash procedure is used to transmit the data. This procedure allows data to be transmitted using a pseudonym. The purpose of processing your personal data is to optimise the advertising measures and to orient them towards your needs. It is possible that your data is processed by our partners in the USA. Facebook, linkedIn, Twitter and Google participate in the EU-US Data Protection Shield agreement ensuring an adequate level of data protection. Unless you object, your data will be stored and transmitted to our partners. You have the possibility to object to the processing of your personal data by Custom Audience. To do so, please send us an e-mail to the following address Info@pse.be. In case you object to the processing of your data by Custom Audience, your data will no longer be transmitted to our partners. 3.2. Facebook Custom Audience  On our websites, we use the "Facebook-Pixel" of Facebook Inc. 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). This makes it possible to track the behaviour of users after they have seen or clicked on an advertisement on Facebook. This procedure is used to evaluate the effectiveness of advertisements on Facebook for statistical and market research purposes and can thus help to optimise advertising operations.

The data collected is for us anonymous and therefore gives us no way to identify users. However, the Facebook data is stored and processed in such a way that a link to the user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Facebook's data usage policy. You may allow Facebook and its partners access to advertisements on and off Facebook. For this purpose, it is also possible to save a cookie on your computer. In order to generally refuse the use of cookies on your computer, you can set your internet browser so that it will no longer be possible to store cookies on your computer in the future and so that cookies that have already been set are deleted. Deleting all cookies may, however, mean that certain functions can no longer be activated on our website.
