This notice explains digital identifiers, or ‘cookies’, what they are, how we use them on our website and what controls you have. We suggest you read this document together with our Privacy Notice to understand how we manage your data.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server and provides information about the individual user's online movements.

Cookies may be either "persistent" cookies or "session" cookies.  A persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date unless deleted by the user before the expiry date; a session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.

Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

Without cookies, some things would not work on websites, or you may have to log in to the website every time you visited a different page.

 

How does Havila use cookies?

Like many other websites, Havila Shipping uses cookies to provide a better experience for you, the user.  We use the following cookies to enhance your experience of our website:

• Necessary cookies

Necessary cookies help make a website usable by enabling basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.

 

• Preference cookies

Preference cookies enable a website to remember information that changes the way the website behaves or looks, like your preferred language or the region that you are in.

 

• Statistic cookies

Statistic cookies help website owners to understand how visitors interact with websites by collecting and reporting information anonymously.

 

• Marketing

Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third party advertisers.

 

• Web analytics and cookies

As an important part of the work of creating an easy-to-use website, we look at the user pattern of those who visit the site. To analyze the information, we use the Analytics tool Google Analytics. Examples of what the statistics give us answers to are; how many people visit different pages, how long the visit lasts, which websites the users come from and which browsers are used. None of the cookies allows us to associate information about your use of the website with you as an individual. The information collected by Google Analytics is stored on Google's servers in the United States. Received information is subject to Google's Privacy Policy. An IP address is defined as a personal data because it can be traced back to a specific hardware and thus to an individual. Havila Shipping uses Google Analytics tracking code that anonymizes the IP address before the information is stored and processed by Google. Thus, the stored IP address cannot be used to identify the individual user.

 

• Facebook Pixel

Havila stores information about what keywords users use on our websites in Google Analytics. The purpose of the storage is to make our information offer better. The search usage pattern is stored in aggregated form. Only the keyword is saved, and they can't be linked to other information about users, such as the IP addresses.
