Elanders updates website cookie notice
Elanders has revised its website's cookie policy to enhance user privacy and transparency regarding data processing. The update focuses on user consent and information about data transfers.
Elanders, a provider of print and document management solutions, has updated its website's cookie notification system. The changes aim to improve transparency and user privacy, particularly concerning the transfer of data outside the European Union.
The updated notice requires users to explicitly consent to the use of non-essential cookies. This measure specifically addresses cookies related to services like Google Analytics and Google Maps, which may involve data transfer to the United States.
Elanders highlights that the data protection standards in the USA are not considered equivalent to those in the EU. Consequently, there is a risk that user data might be processed by US authorities, potentially without adequate legal recourse. Users who choose to accept only essential cookies will avoid this data transfer.
The company has also streamlined the process for users to manage their preferences. Visitors can now choose to accept all cookies, essential cookies only, or save individual cookie settings. These settings can be modified later via the 'Cookie settings' button located in the website's footer.
