Cookies

When one of our websites are visited, cookies (small text files) are saved through the browser onto the user’s device.

Hätälä’s websites save two types of cookies onto the user’s device: technical cookies and
so-called third-party cookies. Technical cookies enable our web service, allowing us to offer a better service.

Third-party cookies (e.g. trackers, beacons, pixels) stand for cookies that are connected to external service providers connected to our website.

Cookies allow us to determine the most popular parts of our websites, tracking which pages are visited and for how long. The collected data is used, for example, to develop and analyse services.

We use:

  • Google Analytics for visitor tracking

The user can control cookies through their browser or Google Ad settings. Saving of cookies and the use of other similar technologies can be blocked using the browser settings (the ‘do not track’ functionality). This may lead to the browsing of our website slowing down, or
access to some pages may be prevented altogether.

How is my personal data protected?

The service is located and maintained from Finland. Cookies and the protection of their use follows the service provider’s (e.g. Google Analytics) privacy policy terms.

The website’s service provider is committed to good data protection principles and tends to the information security of the service.

In certain circumstances, your data may be moved outside of the EU economic region. Grounds for transfer is the European Commission’s enforcement order (EU) 2016/1250 (12.6.2016) regarding the Privacy Shield arrangement between the EU and the USA on the sufficiency of data protection and the service provider’s self-certification regarding the
aforementioned.
