If you continue to use our website, you consent to our storing and accessing cookies and other tracking technologies as described in this notice.

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

A cookie is a small text file that, if you have consented, can be stored on your device and accessed when you visit our website. The other tracking technologies work similarly to cookies, placing small files on your device or monitoring your website activity to enable us to collect information about how you use our website. This allows our website to distinguish your device from those of other users on the website. The information below about cookies also applies to these other tracking technologies.

Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

Snusexpress uses cookies and other tracking technologies to identify you and your interests, to save your preferences and to track your use of our website. We also use cookies and other tracking technologies to control access to certain content on our website, to protect the website and to process your requests to us.

In order to administer our website and for research purposes, Snusexpress has also engaged third parties to track and analyze the usage and volume data of visitors to our website for statistical purposes. These third parties use persistent cookies to help us improve user experience, manage our website content and analyze how users navigate and use the website.

Our legal basis for using these cookies is our legitimate interest in connection with the above purposes (see Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR). You will then be informed how you can avoid the above data processing.

Which cookies are used on this website?

Our website uses two types of cookies: persistent cookies and session cookies. Persistent cookies are stored on your device for a longer period of time after you have closed your browser and are used, for example, to record the decisions you have made on previous visits. Session cookies are temporarily stored in your browser, e.g. to save the language you have chosen. These cookies are automatically deleted after you close your browser.

There are also third-party cookies, meaning the cookies are not from us but from someone else. Third-party cookies are widely used for web statistics such as Google Analytics, but also for marketing purposes.

Third party cookies

In some cases, Snusexpress uses cookies from trusted third parties. In the following section you will find more information about these types of cookies.

Our legal basis for using this type of cookies (and the corresponding services) is our legitimate interest in improving our services and products, in website statistics and in providing users with personalized information (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit . f GDPR). You can prevent data processing by cookies at any time. Below you will find information on how to disable cookies.

Use of Google Analytics (third party cookie)

Snusexpress uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (www.google.com). Google (Universal) Analytics uses methods that enable an analysis of your use of the website, such as cookies. The information generated when you use the website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. By activating IP anonymization on this website, the IP address is shortened within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states that join the Agreement on the European Economic Area and in Switzerland before it is transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the complete IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The anonymized IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be associated with other Google data.

This information is used to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on the activities on our website and to provide other services related to the use of the website for the purpose of market research and website customization. The information will also be passed on to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties have been commissioned to process this data. Under no circumstances will Google associate your IP address with other Google data.

The user can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookies on the use of the website and the processing of this data by Google (including his IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available via the following link:

Use of Google Tag Manager (third-party cookie)

Snusexpress also uses Google Tag Manager to manage cookies and pixels for tracking tools and other tools. The Tag Manager Tool itself is a cookie-free domain and does not collect any personal data. Instead, the tool triggers other tags, which in turn can collect data. If you have implemented a deactivation at domain or cookie level, this will be retained for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager. You can prevent these types of cookies from being set at any time (see How do I disable cookies?).

Use of SnapEngage (third-party cookie)

Snusexpress uses SnapEngage Live Chat to provide customer service and live chat functionality. SnapEngage Live Chat is provided by Snapengage LLC., 1722 14th St., Suite 220, Boulder, CO 80302, USA. SnapEngage uses cookies to enable customer service, to see user movement patterns on the website, and to provide support between sessions. This means that when a visitor uses live chat, for example, SnapEngage can remember that visitor between sessions by storing the personal information that the visitor has provided. SnapEngage also uses cookies to improve its own service.

The following data is collected with this cookie: Anonymous data (browser information, cookie data, date/time, hardware/software type, Internet service provider, page views) and pseudonymous data (IP address (EU PII), clickstream data ).

Use of DoubleClick (third-party cookie)

This website uses Google's DoubleClick to serve ads based on the use of previously visited websites. Google uses a so-called DoubleClick cookie that enables your browser to be recognized when you visit other websites. The information generated by the cookie about your visit to this website (including your IP address) is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for website operators and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required to do so by law or if third parties process this data on Google's behalf. Under no circumstances will Google associate your IP address with other Google data.

You can opt out of re-targeting at any time by uninstalling the relevant cookies in your internet browser menu (see How do I disable cookies).
