On behalf of Wellendorff, Google will use this information to assess your use, to compile reports about website activities and to carry out other services connected with website and Internet use for Wellendorff. The IP address sent by your browser for Google Analytics is not matched up with other Google data.

Facebook Pixel
For conversion measuring, our website makes use of the visitor action pixel of Facebook, Facebook Inc. 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook").
This tracks the behaviour of visitors to the website once they have been forwarded to the service provider's website by clicking on a Facebook advertisement. This allows the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and to optimise future advertising campaigns.
The data we collect are anonymous for us as operators of this website and we are unable to draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data are stored and processed by Facebook, thus allowing them to be connected to the relevant user profile and enabling Facebook to use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the Facebook data use guidelines (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). This allows Facebook to link advertisements, both to Facebook pages and outside Facebook. As the website operator, we are not able to influence this data use.
