5. Google Analytics
Google Analytics is an analytics tool that helps us understand how the Site is used (pages visited, visit duration, traffic source). The collected data is sent to Google Ireland Limited and may be processed outside the Republic of Moldova, based on appropriate safeguards (standard contractual clauses). Google Analytics is only activated if you have accepted the “Analytics” category in the cookie banner. More information: https://policies.google.com/privacy
6. Yandex Metrica
Yandex Metrica is a similar analytics tool that may include the Webvisor feature — an anonymised visual recording of how you navigate the Site (cursor movements, clicks, scrolling). Data is sent to Yandex LLC and may be processed outside the Republic of Moldova. Yandex Metrica is only activated if you have accepted the “Analytics” category. More information: https://yandex.com/legal/confidential/
7. Google Ads (remarketing)
We use Google Ads to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and to show you relevant ads on other websites, based on your visit to sitemasters.md (remarketing). This data is sent to Google Ireland Limited. Google Ads is only activated if you have accepted the “Marketing” category. More information: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads
