On our website, we use the LinkedIn Insight tag from LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company (Attn: Legal Dept., Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland; “LinkedIn”) for conversion tracking (visitor activity analysis) and retargeting (playing personalised advertisements).
The LinkedIn Insight tag places a unique LinkedIn browser cookie (conversion cookie) in your browser and allows the following information to be collected for that cookie: metadata such as IP address, time stamp and page events (e.g. page views). These cookies have a limited validity. If you visit certain pages on our site and the cookie has not expired, we and LinkedIn may recognise that you have clicked the ad and been directed to that page.
The LinkedIn Insight tag also allows LinkedIn to collect information about visits to our website, including URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser characteristics (user agent), and time stamps. This data is transmitted to LinkedIn, encrypted, IP addresses are truncated, and the direct IDs of LinkedIn members are removed within seven days to pseudonymise the data. This remaining pseudonymised data is then deleted by LinkedIn within 90 days. LinkedIn does not share any personally identifiable information with us, but only provides aggregate reports about the site’s target group and ad performance. LinkedIn members can control the use of their personal information for promotional purposes in their account settings.
The information collected using the conversion cookie serves the purpose of producing conversion statistics. This allows us to find out the total number of users who have clicked our adverts and were forwarded to a page equipped with a conversion tracking tag.
