Cookies enable us to recognise your web browser. This is useful because then you don’t need to repeatedly input your data, specify choices, put products in your shopping basket, or modify your settings. It also means we can improve the performance of our website and better understand visitor behaviour on our website, and other parties can learn about your surfing behaviour so that they can show personalised advertisements across several websites and omit non-relevant advertisements.

Learn more about how we use cookies
Which cookies do we use, and how?
Examples of how we use cookies include the temporary storage of what you have in your shopping basket, or how far you have proceeded with your order. Without cookies we would not be able to offer you these services at all. Functional cookies are also used, for example, to temporarily store your log-in details, to ensure that your data is secure in the logged-in state or that the appearance of the website is stable, or to provide support for live chats. We also use performance cookies, for example, to improve website performance in order to reduce the time it takes to load the pages you want to visit. Finally we use target-oriented cookies to enable you, for example, to share content and "like" it.
Most of the cookies we use are automatically deleted by your computer or mobile device at the end of the browser session. We also use permanent cookies, which are stored on your computer or mobile device after your browser session ends. At your next visit to our website your preferred inputs and settings are then automatically recognized. These cookies are automatically deactivated after a pre-set expiry time. They are used to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Thanks to these cookies, for example, the site displays information specifically matched with your interests.
The retargeting technology that we use enables us to address advertising to those users who have taken an interest in our Online Shop and our products in the past. We are convinced that displaying advertising that is personalized and matched with the individual’s interests is more interesting to the user than advertising that lacks any such personal connection. Retargeting displays advertising on the basis of a cookie-based analysis of the user’s previous behaviour. We cooperate with partner companies on this, and accordingly our partner companies’ cookies may also be stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit our website. These cookies are automatically deactivated after the programmed time expires.
What data is stored in the cookies?
The cookies that we use do not store any personal data and cannot be attributed to any particular individual. When a cookie is activated, it is assigned with an identification number.
How can you prevent cookies from being stored?
Most Internet browsers accept cookies automatically. But you can use the settings to instruct your browser not to accept cookies, or to ask you each time before a cookie is accepted from a website visited by you. You can also delete cookies from your computer or mobile device by using your browser’s corresponding function. If you decide to deactivate our cookies or those of our partner companies, you will not see certain information on our website or be able to use some functions designed to improve your visit.

How we use Adobe Analytics for web analyses?
We use Adobe Analytics to constantly improve and optimize our website. Adobe Analytics is a web analysis service from Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited (hereinafter "Adobe"). Adobe Analytics generates detailed statistics on a website’s traffic and its origins, also measuring conversions and sales. Adobe Analytics uses cookies that are stored on your computer or mobile device, enabling us to analyse how our website is used and how it can be improved. The information on your use of our website obtained by the cookies, including your IP address, is anonymized by using the corresponding settings and transmitted to Adobe.
At our request, Adobe uses the information obtained from the cookies to analyse your use of our website and prepare reports on website activities. These reports are made available to us for analytical purposes. Adobe may pass this information on to third parties if this is a statutory requirement or if they process the data on Adobe’s behalf. Under no circumstances will Adobe link your IP address to other data they store.
You can prevent the installation and storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly. We would point out, however, that you will then no longer see certain information on our website, and you will no longer be able to use some functions designed to improve and simplify your visit.
By using this website you agree that the data collected may be processed by Adobe as described above and for the purpose described above. More detailed information about data protection at Adobe can be found at:

How do we use social plug-ins?
Recommendation buttons for the Facebook, Google+ and Twitter social networks are available on our website.

Sharing of personal data
In a number of cases we provide your data to external parties. However, we will never sell your data to a third party. When we work with external companies that provide services where they need to process personal data, they may only use your data for the purposes that C.O.PERSSON specify. They may not, therefore, use this data for their own purposes or transfer the data to others. It is also possible that we are required by law to disclose your data to government bodies or other parties. In all cases we will only disclose what is strictly necessary by law.
We can pass on your personal data to other C.O.PERSSON companies for the purposes set out in this data protection policy. These companies can then use your personal data in their own interest for the same purposes as we do. In particular, C.O.PERSSON companies can process your personal data for individualized, personalized analyses of customer behaviour and for direct marketing activities in their own interests. C.O.PERSSON employees are given access to your personal data only to the extent necessary for the performance of their professional duties.
If a service provider is located in countries where applicable legislation does not provide protection of personal data comparable with EU law, C.O.PERSSON will always require the service provider to fulfil the rules and obligations set out in Swiss law.
Finally we can pass on your personal data if we consider this necessary to be compliant with valid laws and regulations, in connection with legal proceedings, at the request of responsible courts and authorities or under other legal obligations, in order to protect and defend our rights and property.
Ensuring the security of personal data
We are taking appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the confidentiality and integrity of your personal data. We protect your personal data from unauthorized or accidental destruction, accidental loss, technical errors, falsification, theft or unlawful use, and also from unauthorized amendment, copying, access or other unauthorized processing.
You should be aware, however, that the transmission of information via the Internet and other electronic media creates certain security risks, and that we can give no guarantee of the safety of information transmitted to us by these means.
Access to your information, correction or deletion

If any piece of information is incorrect, we will make an update at your request.
You can also ask us to delete your data and not to use it again. If you have given your permission for the use of your information, you can withdraw that permission. However we may be required to store data for which you revoked your permission.
Please be aware that deleting your data may limit our ability to provide you with services related to our products, e.g. proof of warranty.
Complaints and supervisory authority
