The tracker drops a cookie on your computer or mobile phone when it is first loaded by your browser or app. By means of the tracker, the social media platform and Parina Quta collect your IP address (including associated location information), your user agent or browser string and specific information on how you interact with the Site. 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 processes all personal data it obtains by means of the social media pixel in accordance with its privacy statement.
