Compared to the standard "Facebook Pixel" variant, the advanced data matching feature helps us to better measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by recording more attributed conversions.

All transmitted data is stored and processed by Facebook so that it can be assigned to the respective user profile and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes. The data can enable Facebook and its partners to place ads on and outside of Facebook.
