Social Media –
Personalised conversion tracking pixels
A tracking pixel is a small piece of code that is embedded into websites and connects to the cookies from social media and analytics services. Once a tracking pixel is embedded into a website’s code, it can be used to show personalised adverts on social media, and track conversions from these adverts. These pixels do not enable us to view social media profile information of individual users.
Facebook/Instagram Advert Conversion Tracking Pixel - This allows us to create personalised Facebook and Instagram adverts and track conversions that are attributable to Facebook and Instagram adverts and the Facebook Audience Network service. If you do not wish to see personalised adverts from Shredall SDS Group, you can click to hide these whenever they appear on your Facebook and Instagram feeds.
See Facebook’s advert preferences here
LinkedIn Insight Tag - This allows us to create personalised adverts which will appear on your LinkedIn newsfeed, track conversions from these adverts, view advert insights, and also monitor your journey through our website. The LinkedIn Insight tag is connected to your LinkedIn browser cookies. These cookies are stored in your browser until you clear your cookies, or the cookies expire. You can opt-out of cookies from LinkedIn via the LinkedIn settings page. You can also read LinkedIn’s cookie policy here.
