This document contains information about the technologies that allow this Application (foodensemble.com) to achieve the purposes described below.

For simplicity, in this document such technologies are collectively referred to as “Tracking Tools”, unless there is reason to differentiate.

2. What are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that websites visited by the User send to their device (computer, smartphone, tablet), where they are stored and then retransmitted to the same websites on subsequent visits. Cookies can be “first-party” (set directly by the visited website) or “third-party” (set by a different domain).

3.3 Meta Pixel (Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.)

Meta Pixel (formerly Facebook Pixel) is a tracking tool provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. that measures the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, monitors conversions, and creates custom audiences for remarketing activities.

3.4 Google Tag Manager (Google Ireland Ltd.)

Google Tag Manager (GTM) is a tag management system provided by Google Ireland Ltd. GTM does not install Cookies on its own nor does it collect personal data. It acts as a container that facilitates the loading and management of tracking scripts and tags — including Google Analytics and Meta Pixel — without requiring direct changes to the site’s code. GTM solely orchestrates the activation of the other tracking tools described above, which operate according to their respective policies and only with the User’s consent.
