Google Ads measurement
AmazeBazaar advertises on Google. When you arrive from one of our ads, Google sets cookies (such as _gcl_au and _gcl_aw) and we keep the ad click ID with your order, so we can measure whether our ads lead to sign-ups and purchases. For a purchase Google receives the order number and amount, never your card or bank details. With your purchase we also send Google a one-way encrypted (hashed) version of your email address and phone number, so Google can match the purchase to an ad you saw while signed in to Google; Google cannot read them and does not receive them in plain text. These cookies are only used after you accept them in the cookie banner; you can change your choice by clearing cookies for this site. You can control ads personalisation at adssettings.google.com.
Facebook and Instagram (Meta) measurement
AmazeBazaar uses the Meta Pixel and Meta Conversions API to measure our Facebook and Instagram ads. They record pages you view, books you add to your cart, the start of checkout, account sign-ups and purchases (order number, books and amount; never card or bank details). Meta sets cookies such as _fbp and _fbc. To match these actions to Facebook and Instagram accounts, a one-way encrypted (hashed) version of your email address, phone number and name is shared with Meta; Meta cannot read them in plain text. You can manage ad preferences at facebook.com/adpreferences.
Google Tag Manager
AmazeBazaar uses Google Tag Manager to load measurement and advertising tools (for example Google Analytics and ad platforms). Tag Manager itself does not set cookies, but the tools it loads may. They receive information such as the pages and books you view, items added to the cart and orders (order number and amount, never card or bank details). For a purchase, a one-way encrypted (hashed) version of your email address and phone number may be shared with these services so they can measure it; they cannot read them. These tools only use cookies after you accept them in the cookie banner.
