Facebook pixels
Facebook pixels are small pieces of software and are nearly invisible pixel-sized “dots” on our Website which create a link between your visit to our Website and Facebook. When the pixel loads, Facebook places a so-called “fr”-cookie on your computer, which helps Facebook to provide you with more personalized advertisements, but also to measure and improve advertisements. This cookie has a lifespan of 90 days. More information on Facebook cookies can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies/. Please note that when the “fr”-cookie is placed, Facebook is able to follow your surfing behaviour across other websites which have implemented a Facebook pixel or Facebook social plug-in.
Social plugins
Social plug-ins are small pieces of software which create a link between your visit to our Website and the social media platform of a Third Party Provider. Should you access the social media platform from one of our sites, the social plug-in will let the Third Party Provider know that you have visited our Website and may let the Third Party Provider receive cookies he has placed on your computer beforehand.

Pinterest (https://help.pinterest.com/en/articles/all-about-pinterest-browser-button)
Google (https://developers.google.com/+/web/)
How long do cookies last?
Different cookies have different purposes but also different lifespans. The lifespan of a cookie determines how long a cookie will remain on your computer before it deletes itself.
The length of time a cookie will stay on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a "persistent" or "session" cookie. Session cookies will only stay on your device until you stop browsing. Persistent cookies stay on your computer or mobile device until they expire or are deleted.
