Koko Analytics

We use Koko analytics to collect very simple statistics to see who visits our website and the referrer (the domain you came from). This is a privacy friendly analytics collector that does not collect any personal information from our visitors.

What are cookies?

A Cookie (information capsule) is a small file which is stored locally on your device. A cookie is not harmful, and it cannot contain a virus or any programs.

Koko analytics uses cookies to separate visitors so you aren’t counted more than once in our statistics. This cookie does not save or give us any personal information about you – but gives Koko analytics a more accurate way of counting visitors as you are not counted every time you re-fresh the page.

This cookie is deleted after 6 hours, or can be deleted manually by deleting cookies though your browser. You can also opt out any third-party cookies by setting this option directly in your browser.

What is a referrer?

A referrer is «the last web address accessed by a browser prior to loading a particular web page, used to identify sources of traffic.»

The referrer gives us a picture of where our visitors are coming from, but not any information more than the domain name of the page (i.e. «Facebook.com» or «google.com»).

This information helps us pinpoint where people are finding the SvalBad webpage and how we can improve our information for our visitors.

Google maps

We use a customized map made through the Google maps service to easily show you where our services are located at our port.

If you interact with our map, Google may collect information through your browser. Read more about what google collect from you and how to limit this in Googles Privacy Policy and Googles Terms of Service.

This map is located on our about page. If you do not wish to share any information with Google, the map can be disabled though the Privacy Preferences.
