# Cookie policy

# Cookie policy

What the website stores in your browser, how we count visits and how to change your choice.

This policy covers SeaTwirl’s website, including both the corporate pages and the investor pages. They are at two addresses, seatwirl.com and ir.seatwirl.com, but your choice applies to both.

SeaTwirl AB (publ), registration number 556890-1135, Lilla Bommen 1, 411 04 Göteborg, [info@seatwirl.com](mailto:info@seatwirl.com), is responsible for what is described here and is the controller of any personal data it involves. Our [privacy policy](https://seatwirl.com/privacy-policy/), which covers the whole website, explains how we handle personal data in other respects.

## Cookies and similar technologies

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves in your browser and reads again on the next page view. A website can also save information in similar ways, for example in your browser’s local storage. The table further down shows everything the website and the services on it store, and for how long.

## Your choice

The first time you visit the website, you choose what it may use beyond what is necessary. The services are grouped into categories:

- **Necessary.** Required for the website to work, for example to remember your cookie choice and to keep it secure. They cannot be turned off.
- **Statistics.** Helps us understand how the website is used, for example which pages are visited most, so that we can improve it. Statistics cookies let us tell new visitors from returning ones. Visits are counted without them too; see the next section.
- **Marketing.** Used by us and by third parties, such as advertising networks and social media, to show relevant ads here and on other websites and to measure how the ads perform. The category also includes content loaded directly from other companies’ services and shown embedded here, because those services may use cookies for advertising. Today that means videos from YouTube.

The website also has a category for functional services, which make the website more convenient and enable certain extra features, such as remembering your settings. No such service is used today, so the category is not shown.

If you say no, or make no choice, no optional services start. Your choice is saved in a cookie that applies to the whole website. The cookie holds which categories and services you have allowed, when you chose, which version of the list of services your choice applies to and whether you have objected to the counting of visits, but nothing that identifies you. We keep no record of your choice ourselves. Your choice lasts for 12 months, and then we ask again. We also ask again when the list of services changes. Your current choice is shown above the table further down.

## How we count visits

We use Matomo to see how many people visit the website and which pages they read. Matomo is run by InnoCraft Limited, a New Zealand company, which processes the data on our behalf. The data is stored on servers in Frankfurt, Germany, with backups in Dublin, Ireland. The European Commission has decided that New Zealand provides an adequate level of protection for personal data.

**Without your consent.** Matomo counts visits from the first page view, without storing anything in your browser and without reading anything from it beyond what your browser sends with every page view anyway. In other words, Matomo receives roughly what a web server’s log sees:

- the page’s address and title, which site you came from and any campaign parameters in the address;
- the kind of browser, operating system and device you use, as your browser itself reports them;
- your language;
- your country and region, which Matomo works out from your shortened IP address;
- the time of day, in the website’s time zone;
- downloads and clicks on links to other websites.

Matomo links the page views of one visit with a temporary code, calculated from details such as your IP address, browser, operating system and language. The code is not stored in your browser, is valid for one visit only and changes after 24 hours at the most. Matomo therefore cannot recognise you on a later visit or follow you to other websites.

**With your consent.** If you allow statistics, Matomo also sets cookies, starting with the page view on which you make your choice. Matomo can then recognise your browser when you come back, for up to 13 months, and remember which site you came from. Matomo then also reads a few more details from your browser: your screen size, the version of your operating system, your device’s model, which features your browser supports, your own time zone and how long pages take to load.

**Legal basis.** Counting visits without cookies is based on our legitimate interest in knowing how the website is used, so that we can improve it (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). We use statistics cookies and the additional details from your browser only with your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR).

**Browser privacy signals.** Counting without cookies continues even if your browser sends a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal. These signals exist for people who do not want to be tracked across websites or have information about them sold. We do not sell any information, and counting without cookies is not linked to your visits to other websites. Statistics cookies are set only if you allow them yourself.

**Your right to object.** Because counting visits without cookies is based on our legitimate interest, you have the right to [object](https://seatwirl.com/cookie-policy/#konzilo-consent-objection)object to it. Once you confirm your objection, the website sends no information about your visits to Matomo. You can also object in the privacy settings, under Statistics. The option to object appears only when you have not allowed statistics, because once you have allowed statistics, they are based on your consent. Your objection is saved in the cookie that holds your choice, and it applies to the whole website for 12 months. While it applies, the link *Undo your objection* appears below this paragraph, and you can use it to lift your objection immediately. Allowing statistics lifts it too.

You have objected to the counting of visits, so yours are not counted. This applies to the whole website for 12 months, or until you allow statistics or revoke your consents. [Undo your objection](https://seatwirl.com/cookie-policy/#konzilo-consent-objection)

**How long the data is kept.** Raw data on visits is kept for 25 months and then deleted. Your IP address reaches Matomo with every page view but is shortened by two bytes before it is stored, so that, for example, 192.0.2.123 is stored as 192.0.0.0. We keep aggregated statistics, which cannot be linked to any visitor, for longer.

## Videos from YouTube

A video from YouTube first appears as a box with a button. Nothing is loaded from YouTube until you click *Allow and play*, choose *Accept all* or allow YouTube in the privacy settings. The button allows YouTube on the whole website for 12 months, just as if you had chosen it in the settings.

The player is loaded from youtube-nocookie.com, the address YouTube uses for its privacy-enhanced mode. Once the player loads, after you have allowed YouTube, Google Ireland Limited receives data about your visit and may store data in your browser, even before the video starts playing. SeaTwirl and Google are joint controllers for collecting and transmitting the data, and Google alone is responsible for what it does with the data afterwards. Google may use the data for its own advertising and may transfer it to the United States, relying on the European Commission’s adequacy decision for the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and on standard contractual clauses. How Google processes the data is set out in [Google’s privacy policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en).

## Changing your choice or revoking consent

At the bottom of every page there are two buttons:

- *Change privacy settings* opens the settings with your current choice already selected. There you can turn each category and each service on or off.
- *Revoke consents* revokes all your consents at once and also lifts any objection to the counting of visits. The website then forgets your choice, removes the statistics cookies and reloads the page, so that you can choose again in the banner. Until you do, Matomo counts your visits without cookies, as a new visitor.

We cannot remove what YouTube has stored in your browser, because it is stored under youtube-nocookie.com. You can delete it yourself in your browser’s settings. There you can also delete the website’s own cookies; we will then ask for your choice again on your next visit.

Revoking your consent does not affect the lawfulness of anything that took place before you revoked it.

Below, you will first see your current choice. Then come the services the website uses: who provides each one, what it stores in your browser and for how long, and whether data is transferred outside the EU and EEA. Last comes what the website does without your consent.

We cannot see who you are, we do not follow you between visits and we do not carry out any profiling. All we do is collect statistics, for example how many people visit the website, which pages they visit, how long they stay, which country they visit from, which language and browser they use, and at what time of day they visit, in the website’s time zone. We do this on the basis of our legitimate interest in knowing this. If you disagree, you have the right to [object](https://seatwirl.com/cookie-policy/#konzilo-consent-objection).

You have objected to the counting of visits, so yours are not counted. This applies to the whole website for 12 months, or until you allow statistics or revoke your consents. [Undo your objection](https://seatwirl.com/cookie-policy/#konzilo-consent-objection)

What YouTube stores in your browser

## What this site does without your consent

- The site's statistics count each visit from the first page you see, before you make a choice, without storing anything in your browser and without reading your device's properties. They store in your browser only once you allow statistics. A browser that sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track is counted too, without storage until you allow statistics. The reason: we need to know how many people visit the website and which pages they read, so that we can improve it. Counting visits is based on our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR), and you have the right to object to it. Without cookies, Matomo cannot recognise you on a later visit.

The table and the privacy settings are built from the same list of services, so they list the same services. Each service has a link to its provider’s privacy policy, where you can read more about how the provider handles the data.

## Personal data and your rights

The cookie that holds your choice is needed for the website to follow it, so it does not need your consent. Statistics with cookies and videos from YouTube are based on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), and counting visits without cookies on our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Our [privacy policy](https://seatwirl.com/privacy-policy/) describes the processing and your rights in more detail.

You also have the right to complain to the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY), [www.imy.se](https://www.imy.se), about how your personal data is handled. For the rules on storing and accessing information on your device, you can turn to the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority (PTS), which supervises them under the Swedish Electronic Communications Act.

## Changes to this policy

When we start or stop using a service, or use a service for something new, we update the table above and this text. A new purpose is never covered by an old consent: you are asked again.
