Facebook Facebook cookies are used if you have a Facebook account, use Facebook products, including sites and apps, or visit sites or apps that use Facebook products (including the Like button and other Facebook Technologies). Cookies allow Facebook to understand the information it receives about you, regardless of whether you are registered or logged in, including your use of other websites and apps. It uses cookies for identity verification, security and site integrity, ads, recommendations, measurement, analysis, and reporting. Additionally, to present ads that may be of interest to you on social media platforms and create custom target audiences, your personal data, including your email address, is shared with these platforms. Your email address is transferred through secure channels and environments provided by these platforms. Social media platforms hash your email address and only use it for matching purposes. Your email address is not shared with third parties or other advertisers, and it is deleted from the systems of social media platforms as soon as possible after the matching process is completed. For example, Facebook will ensure the privacy and security of your hashed email address and Facebook User ID collection, which forms your custom target audience ("your custom target audience"), using technical and physical security measures developed to protect the security and integrity of data as long as your personal data is in Facebook systems, prevent unauthorized access to or disclosure, alteration, or unauthorized use of your data, and it will use a hashed method to create your custom target audience. Also, Facebook does not provide access or information to third parties or other advertisers about your custom target audience without your permission or where not required by law, does not add your custom target audience information to information about our users or create interest-based profiles, or use your custom target audience for any purpose other than providing you with services.
