Facebook Pixel
On Facebook you sometimes come across messages from the city. With the Facebook Pixel we remember which pages you visit on our website. This way we can only show you messages on Facebook that are relevant to you. For example, if we disclose a new application, we'll make sure you don't get an advertisement if you already used the application.
We only use the Facebook Pixel for large campaigns such as 'Wintertijd' and 'Het Groot Verlof'. We are not currently using the Facebook Pixel.
We keep the data up to 4 months.
