cookie policy

Effective Date: February 1st, 2023

This Cookie Notice informs you how Fiskars Group and its affiliates (together “Fiskars”) use cookies, pixels, tags, web beacons and other similar technologies (jointly referred to as “Cookies”) in its websites and how you can manage and control the use of Cookies on your computer or device.

In order to provide you with an online experience with personalized features and content, you will need to allow your computer, tablet or mobile device to accept Cookies.

Should you have any questions related to our Cookie Notice, you are welcome to contact our Customer Service. 

 

  1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small files, typically letters and numbers, placed on your computer or device by a web server when you access certain websites. Cookies are stored on your computer’s hard drive or other terminal equipment when you browse websites. A web beacon is a technique used on web pages and emails to unobtrusively check that a user has accessed some content. Pixels are pieces of code that deliver third-party cookies, whereas tags are smaller pieces of code to determine events on a website and are used more for analytics than tracking users. They collect data like hits on different pages, views on a product, clicks on a button, video views, etc. All these techniques and other similar techniques are together referred to as “Cookies” in this Cookie Notice.

  1. What type of Cookies do we use and why are they used?

 

Strictly necessary Cookies: These Cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these Cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These Cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

 

Performance Cookies: These Cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these Cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these Cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.

 

Functional Cookies: These Cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these Cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.

 

Targeting Cookies: These Cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these Cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

 

Social media Cookies: These Cookies are set by a range of social media services that we have added to the site to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks. They are capable of tracking your browser across other sites and building up a profile of your interests. This may impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit. If you do not allow these Cookies you may not be able to use or see these sharing tools.

In section 3 below, there is information on the third-party recipients with whom we share data generated by Cookies.
