Functional cookies allow us to remember choices you make (such as your language preference) and provide more enhanced, personal features. These cookies cannot track your browsing activity on other websites and they do not gather any information about you that could be used for advertising or remembering where you have been on the Internet outside our sites.

3.3. Analytics Cookies (Non-essential Cookies)

Kongsberg PCS uses analytics cookies to provide us with information about the use of our website and to optimise our website.

Analytics cookies are cookies that gather information to evaluate and improve the content of our websites. Analytics cookies collect information about your visit and use of this website, for instance which pages you visit the most often, and if you get error messages from web pages. These cookies are used to track the performance of the website, for example, to know the number of pages visited or the number of users who viewed a particular section. These cookies do not collect information that directly identifies a user. The analysis of these cookies generates aggregated statistics. They are useful for possible amendments and improvements to the website and all information these cookies collect is only used to improve the working and functioning of our website.

These cookies are set based on your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time (at a later time) (see point 4).

3.4. (Social) Sharing Cookies (Non-essential Cookies)

We use social sharing cookies from LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and other similar social media sites to enable you to share any content of our websites of your interest with other people on social networks. We may present targeted advertisements on these networks based on your interaction with our websites. These cookies are set on our website through hyperlinks, social plug-ins or links to social media operators. When you use these share buttons, a third-party cookie is installed (see also point 3.6).

Social plugins establish a connection with the servers of social network operators. With a further click you will be sent to the relevant social media page of Kongsberg PCS.

Your data will be transmitted to the operator of the respective social network. Kongsberg PCS enables the collection of the data by setting the social plugin on our website but has no influence on which data or the amount of data the social network collects with the help of the social plugin. The social networks receive information such as which of our websites you have currently and previously visited. Through the social plugin, a cookie with a unique identifier is set each time the website in question is accessed. This enables the social network to create a profile of your usage behaviour. It is possible that such a profile can be assigned to you in the event of a later initial registration with the social network, however Kongsberg PCS has no access to this profile.

If you are already registered with a social network while visiting our websites, the operator of that social network may be able to assign the visit to your personal account through the social plugins. When using social plugin functions (e.g. "Like" button, "Tweets", leaving comments …), the information about this usage is transmitted directly from your browser to the corresponding social network, and stored there. The same applies when calling up a website of a social media operator by clicking on the corresponding symbol button.

If you are not a member of a social network, it is still possible for the social networks to receive and store your IP address and information about the browser and operating system you are using through the social plugins.

These cookies are set based on your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time (at a later time) (see point 4).
