Elanders Updates Website Cookie Transparency
Elanders has updated its website cookie notifications to enhance user transparency regarding data handling. The focus is on user control over data and potential transfer to the United States.
Elanders, a global company specializing in contract manufacturing and logistics, has updated its website's cookie policies. The new information emphasizes users' ability to manage the cookies used for the website's functionality.
The update specifically addresses how Elanders and its partners, such as Google, collect and process data related to website usage. Users are provided with clearer options for cookie acceptance, including accepting only essential cookies, accepting all cookies, or saving individual settings.
Elanders highlights that tools like Google Analytics help improve website analytics and user experience. Data on user behavior, such as pages visited, time spent, and interactions, may be transferred to Google LLC in the U.S. This data could then be used by Google for its own purposes, including building a profile and linking with other usage data.
The company allows users to withdraw their consent and change their settings at any time. Users who accept cookies associated with Google services also consent to data processing in the USA. Elanders notes that due to U.S. legislation, this data might be subject to government monitoring, potentially without recourse.
Accepting only essential cookies prevents data transfer to the U.S. Elanders' website also includes a link to its privacy policy for further details on personal data processing.
