Statistics
To improve myphotopuzzle.co.uk continually, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your shortened IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.

puzzle & play GmbH also uses the Conversion Tracking Service of Google AdWords for its site myphotopuzzle.co.uk. Google AdWords places a cookie on your computer when you reach our website by clicking on a google-ad. This cookie expires automatically after 30 days and is not used for personal identification. Furthermore, Google does not associate a user's search activity with his/her ad click history. Further, Google does not collect or track personally identifying information, and does not reveal individual information to third parties. The information collected through cookies is only used to create conversion statistics. By using Google AdWords Conversion Tracking Service customers find out the total number of users that clicked on their ad and were then forwarded to a site on which a conversion tracking tag is implemented. However, no personal information is transferred with which the user may be identified. If you want to disable conversion tracking cookies, you can set your browser to block cookies from the googleadservices.com domain. You will then not be recorded in the Conversion Tracking Statistics. By using www.myphotopuzzle.co.uk you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above. We suggest the Google Privacy Policy, which is independent from that of the puzzle & play GmbH. We therefore accept no liability and responsibility.

Use of social plug-ins
This website uses social plug-ins (“plug-ins”) provided by the social network facebook.com, operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). The plug-ins are identifiable by a Facebook logo (white letter f on blue background or a thumb up icon) or the notice “Facebook Social Plug-in”. An overview of the Facebook plug-ins and their appearance can be found here: http://developers.facebook.com/plugins.
When you visit a page of our website that contains a social plug-in, your browser establishes a direct connection to Facebook servers. Facebook directly transfers the plug-in content to your browser which embeds the latter into the website, enabling Facebook to receive information about your having accessed the respective page of our website. The embedded plug-ins provide Facebook with the information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you don’t have a Facebook account and even if you are not logged into Facebook. This information (incl. your IP-address) is transmitted from your browser directly to Facebook in the USA and stored by it. If you are logged in with Facebook, it will be able to assign your visit to your Facebook account. Please note that an exchange of this information already takes place when you visit our Website, regardless of whether you interact with the plugin or not. If you interact with the plug-ins, such as by pressing the “Like” button or entering a comment, the corresponding information is sent directly to Facebook by your browser and saved there. In addition, this information will be published on Facebook and shown to your Facebook friends.
Facebook may use this information for purposes of advertising, market research and tailoring of the Facebook pages. For this purpose Facebook creates usage, interests and relationship profiles, e.g. to evaluate your usage of our website in terms of displayed advertisements at Facebook, to inform other Facebook users about your activities on our website and to provide further services related to the use of facebook.

Our website uses the +1 button by the social network Google Plus, which is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). This button is marked by the logo “+1”on a white or coloured background.
As soon as a page within our web presence is called up, the Internet browser establishes a direct connection with the servers of Google whereby the “+1”button by Google submits to the browser – and is displayed on our website. We therefore have no influence on the amount of data that Google collects via the button, however, assume that your IP address will be recorded with.
