The website uses cookies to store visitors’ preferences, record user-specific information on what pages users access or visit, ensure that visitors are not repeatedly sent the same banner ads, customize website content based on visitors’ browser type or other information that the visitor sends. Cookies may also be used by third-party services, such as Google Analytics, as described herein.

Advertising and Pixels
From time to time, the website may engage in marketing efforts with third-party companies, such as Google, Facebook, or Instagram, in order to market. These companies use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to the website.
Third parties, including Facebook, may use cookies, web beacons, and other storage technologies to collect or receive specific types of information and use that information to provide targeted ads to you on other platforms. Masterpiece Society uses the Conversion Tracking Pixel service of Facebook, Inc. for marketing and advertising purposes. This tool allows us to follow the actions of users on our site in order to create Facebook ads, target ads to potentially interested audiences, and analyze the efficacy of Facebook ads.

Facebook is able to connect the data with your Facebook account and use the data for their own advertising purposes, in accordance with Facebook’s Data Use Policy. Facebook Conversion Tracking also allows Facebook and its partners to show you advertisements on and outside Facebook.
