Privacy and visitor statistics

How we count visitors

We want to know which pages are useful, so this website counts its visitors itself. No outside services (such as Google Analytics) are used, and the site does not use cookies or store anything in your browser.

When you open a page, the site records:

• which page was opened, and the page’s language
• the name of the website you came from, if any (for example a search engine)
• the type of device (computer, tablet or phone) and the browser’s name
• how long the page was viewed and how far down it was scrolled
• clicks on our phone numbers, e-mail addresses and the contact page

What we do not store

Your IP address is not stored. To count how many different visitors there are on one day, a code is made from a secret key that changes every day. The code cannot be turned back into your address, and the same visitor cannot be recognised on another day.

If your browser asks websites not to track you (“Do Not Track” or “Global Privacy Control”), nothing is recorded.

The figures are kept on our own web server for at most 400 days and are only used to improve the website. They are not shared with anyone.

The contact form

When you send a message with the contact form, your name, e-mail address, phone number (if given), message and attached files are sent to us by e-mail (info@essma.fi). We only use them to answer you, and they are not shared with anyone. The website itself does not keep the messages. To stop the form being misused, a code made from your IP address is kept for one hour; it cannot be turned back into your address.
