Processing generally takes place within the scope of the services you integrate via the Tag Manager and may—depending on your configuration—also involve transfers to third countries (e.g., the USA).

When visiting a website that contains such a plugin, a connection to Meta servers is established. The plugin is then displayed on the website as a message from Facebook or Instagram to your browser. Facebook and Instagram is thus informed about which websites you have visited. If you are logged into Facebook and Instagram as a user during such a visit of the site, Facebook and Instagram assigns this information to your personal Facebook or Instagram user account. When using one of the plugin functions (e.g. clicking the “Like” button), this information is also assigned to your Facebook or Instagram user account and saved by Facebook and Instagram. If you do not wish that Meta can assign your visit to the website of Kintana (Inc.) (www.kintana-energy.com) to your Facebook or Instagram user account, please sign out of Facebook or Instagram.
