Cookies and visitor statistics

The csc.fi website collects statistics on visitors to and the use of the website. The statistics help us to improve our service and are also used as part of the reports on the csc.fi service. The data recorded in the statistics are anonymized and cannot be linked to an individual person.

For visitor statistics, we use the Matomo tool, which collects information about the use of the site through, among other things, analytics cookies and web beacons. This information is stored on the Matomo server located in Frankfurt, Germany. At no time will CSC transfer or store data outside the EU.

Data to be stored on the user’s terminal device

The operation of the website requires the storage of certain information on the user’s terminal device. This information is often stored in cookies and is often referred to generically as cookies.

The information is stored in the user’s web browser as small text files. Each site can only read the information that it has stored. Information necessary for the functioning of the website includes, for example, the language version of the page chosen by the user.

If certain information might have an impact on the user’s privacy, the storage of this information requires the user’s consent. Examples of such cases include a visit identifier stored by Matomo, which allows two separate visits to a website to be combined, and a source identifier, which allows Matomo to identify where the user arrived at the website from. By accepting the website’s visitor statistics, you also accept the use of these cookies. By opting out of visitor statistics, we will only store information on your browser that is necessary for the technical functioning of the website.
