Enhanced Conversion | Google Ads | Tracking | 540 days | The Enhanced Conversion Google feature supplements the existing Google conversion tag (gtag.js). It uses a secure one-way hash algorithm called SHA256 on the data. The hashed data is then matched with signed-in Google accounts in order to attribute campaign conversions. The data necessary for the proper functioning of the Google Enhanced Conversion is collected through functional cookies, but only if the visitor gives consent for the use of tracking cookies. The following data is hashed by the Google Enhanced Conversion and the relevant functional cookies: - email address (captured from the functional cookie: email) - phone number (captured from the functional cookie: telephone) - first name (captured from the functional cookie: prenom) - last name (captured from the functional cookie: nom) - full postal address ( captured from the functional cookie: rue + numero, localite, codepostal) |

If the user disables all cookies and fingerprinting, the Website will not be able to function properly or optimize the user's experience on the Website.
Fingerprinting is a probability-based technique to uniquely identify a user on a website or mobile application through the technical characteristics of the user's browser. The hardware the user uses to log in provides the server with a certain amount of information, for example, screen size or operating system. If this information is sufficient, it can be used to distinguish individuals and track them in a way similar to cookies. Ethias uses fingerprinting on its website for the following purposes:
Ethias systematically processes personal data in accordance with its Privacy Policy and requirements of the European regulations on privacy protection: the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679 and the existing legislation on cookies and information collecting devices.
Every user has the right:
- to contact Ethias' Data Protection Officer by e-mail at DPO@Ethias.be;
- to file a complaint with the supervisory authority (https://www.dataprotectionauthority.be/citizen).
