Cookies are not used for any other purposes. They can not be used to identify individual users.

We use the Matomo Cloud tool to analyze service usage without cookies. We use statistical data to monitor and develop the usability and quality of services. The data cannot be used to identify an individual user or linked to an individual person. 

Of the third-party links in the services, only the pages linked to the Your Europe portal are used to transmit visitor information to the EU Commission via Matomo. The data is also available to the responsible persons in Finland. The information collected from the pages includes the URL address of the page, the number of visitors, the country of the visitors and the terminal device used. The collected data will be stored in the EU Commission's repository for a maximum of three years, after which it will be automatically deleted.
