This Notice describes which cookies and similar technologies Régió Terv Regional Planning, Development and Innovation Limited Liability Company (abbreviated name: Régió Terv Kft.; hereinafter: the “Data Controller”) uses when operating the website, for what purposes, for how long and on what legal basis they operate, and how visitors can manage their consent.
2. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small data file that the website places on or reads from the visitor’s device through the visitor’s browser. Cookies may, among other things, maintain a session, support secure operation, remember visitor preferences, produce usage statistics and – where consent has been given – measure marketing activity.
Session cookies are generally deleted when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies may remain on the device until the stated expiry date, until deleted by the visitor, or until consent is withdrawn. A first-party cookie is placed on the Solarégió domain. This is separate from the question of whether data associated with the cookie are transmitted by the Data Controller to an external service, such as Google Ads or Meta. A third-party cookie is placed directly on the device from a domain other than Solarégió.

5. Web beacons, pixels and measurement tags

The website uses Meta Pixel. The tracking code transmits information to Meta about page views, advertising clicks and conversions. In connection with the service, the _fbp cookie and – when arriving from a Meta advertisement – the _fbc cookie may be placed. Within its own advertising activity, the Data Controller uses Meta Pixel exclusively for conversion measurement; it does not create remarketing audiences and does not use personalised advertising. This does not affect Meta’s own data processing, the conditions of which are set out in Meta’s privacy policy. Meta Pixel is activated only after the visitor has given prior consent.
5.2. Google Ads conversion tags
The website uses Google Ads conversion tags. These enable the Data Controller to measure whether a purchase, request for quotation or another defined conversion occurs after advertisements displayed in Google’s systems. In connection with the service, the _gcl_au, _gcl_aw and _gcl_dc cookies may be placed. For its own purposes, the Data Controller does not use Google Ads remarketing, advertising-audience creation or personalised advertising. This does not affect Google’s own data processing, the conditions of which are set out in Google’s privacy notice. The tags and related cookies are activated only after the visitor has given prior consent.
5.3. Google Tag Manager
Google Tag Manager is a tag-management tool. It does not necessarily create a cookie itself, but analytics, user-experience or marketing tags loaded through it may place cookies or transmit data. Non-essential tags may be loaded only after the relevant consent has been given.

Barion Pixel is a JavaScript-based measurement code placed on the Merchant’s website that tracks the activity of website visitors.

The system transmits the data to the servers of Barion Payment Zrt.; Barion Payment Zrt. processes them in accordance with its own privacy notice.
The online store operated by the Data Controller uses the Basic Version of Barion Pixel for the purpose of fraud prevention. The data collected by Barion Pixel and cross-site device and session identification are processed/performed by Barion Payment Zrt. on the basis of its own legitimate interest. Detailed information: https://www.barion.com/hu/adatvedelmi-tajekoztato/.
