Contextual measurement of campaign performance

Here you can choose whether XING may measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns contextually for specific actions.

This setting only applies when you arrived at XING via an ad or source page from a marketing partner and then complete a correspondingly marked action, such as registering or starting an application.

If measurement is enabled, information about the specific action may be shared with the marketing partner whose ad or source page brought you to XING, for example Meta, Google, or others. Data is only transmitted to the partner of the respective source page.

What happens when you disable it?

  • We set a cookie on this device that prevents contextual activation of campaign measurement.
  • You can still complete the respective action on XING.
  • This opt-out does not override any consent you may have given in the consent banner.
  • This setting is tied to this browser and device. If you delete the cookie or use another device, you will need to set it again.

You can find more information in our Privacy Notice. Information about the respective partners can be found in the footer under Tracking.
