What are cookies?
Compello uses digital tracking technologies to collect information about the movement on our websites and how visitors interact with us. We do this in order to measure the performance of our websites and provide relevant content.
To identify a visitor throughout the visit, and recognizing visitors on consecutive visits, our websites leave a small file, called a cookie, in the visitor's internet browser.
Cookies uniquely identify a particular browser or device. By using cookies Compello can distinguish one visitor from another and treat them individually.
Why does Compello use cookies?
Anonymized statistics
Visitors generate anonymized data that Compello uses to improve Compello websites. When using cookies in this manner we do not collect or process personal data. Instead, we use anonymized aggregated statistics to make better decisions.
Anonymized data describes the general activity and performance of Compello websites. For instance, Compello measures how many of our visitors read our cookie policy. If the statistics show that there are few readers, we can use this to assess if we should make it more visible.
Another example is that we use anonymized data to measure which parts of our page that are popular by creating heat maps. The analysis is used to organise content or to ensure more logical functionality on our websites. We also use cookies to detect returning visitors on our websites and present relevant content based on their previous visits.
The anonymised data we collect includes:
- Information about types of browser and device
- Geographical information limited to city
- User behaviour on the website, i.e. the journey from reference site to landing page to exit page, if pages were scrolled and how far, if videos were played and for how long, which links were clicked.
- Public company information
We can measure the popularity of our content, based on anonymized data, and decide how we will further develop the website technically and in terms of content.
The anonymous data is not shared with any third party except our subcontractors when placing and managing cookies including Google Analytics, Google Ads, HubSpot, Google maps, Microsoft Clarity, Google Fonts, Snitcher, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and Hotjar. The anonymous data is subject to security and privacy standards according to applicable data protection legislation.
Personal data
Depending on whether visitors give us permission, the use of cookies may also include the processing of personal data. With the permission of visitors, we can use email addresses to link activities to their identity.
On this basis, Compello may use personal data to record what the individual visitor does on the web pages. These settings are used to ensure that visitors are presented with relevant content.
The personal data we process in this regard includes:
- Email address, name and company
- Employers key information
- Likely interests based on registered movement on website and subscription preferences.
Personal data is not shared with any third party except our subcontractors when placing and managing cookies including Google Analytics, Google Ads, HubSpot, Google maps, Microsoft Clarity, Google Fonts, Snitcher, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and Hotjar. All processing of personal data is subject to security and privacy standards according to applicable data protection legislation.
