Cookies are great when passively engaging in internet feuds and storms. So, is it okay if we use cookies on here, including functional, analytical and advertising ones? Read more about our cookies. 
 
We know what you must be thinking, ‘Really? Another boring cookie policy?’. We get it, you’ve probably come across copious amounts of policies like this one on other sites, but we wanted to give you our cookies story.  
 
We use cookies on our website to improve your digital encounter with us and to make sure that you can have a nice annoyance-free time on our site, while reading stuff from people who are really annoyed with Oatly. However, it’s always up to you as a visitor on our website to say ”OK with me” or ”No thanks”. Depending on your answer, this is how we handle your personal details and privacy: 
 
All users visiting our website - including visitors clicking ”No thanks" 
Anonymous analytical data will be stored to Plausible, in order to track the usage of a website without collecting any personal data or personally identifiable information. Cookies are not set and all data is in aggregate only. 
 
Users clicking ”OK with me” 
"Necessary", "Functional", "Analytical" and cookies for “Advertising” will be stored.((Want to know more about them? Continue reading!)  
 
Although that was technically the end of our cookies story, we figured that one or two of you might possess above average interest in cookies and want to know exactly what types of cookies we use, how and why we use them, and the different settings you can adjust in your web browser or on your hand-held high-tech device. So, if you identify as one or two of those people with above average interest in cookies – just keep scrolling, this one is for you. 
Now, there’s just one last thing we’d like to say before you keep reading, and that is that you can find all the information on how we handle your personal details in our privacy policy here.

WHAT ARE COOKIES AND WHAT DO WE USE THEM FOR? 
A cookie is a small text file that gets stored on your computer, phone or tablet when you’re visiting a website. We, or one of our partners, place cookies on our website to improve our site and to make sure that basic features and services function properly. 
Some of these cookies store really basic information about our site’s users, and that really basic information really helps us help you navigate our website really easily. But not all of them are easy to identify (unless you are entering contact information like your e-mail address in a form somewhere on purpose, well then, we do have that piece of information saved about you), so we thought we’d break it down for you. Below, you can read all about the different types of cookies we collect and store on our site, how long we save them for and how they are used. 
 
 
NECESSARY COOKIES 
The name kind of gives it away, but just to be super clear – necessary cookies are very, very necessary. Without them, basic website functions like site navigation and accessibility would not be possible, and we would not even be able to provide you with a properly working website to visit. And that would just not be fun for anybody. 

FUNCTIONAL COOKIES 
To be able to save your preferred settings or personal details for future visits, we use functional cookies. Without these types of cookies, we wouldn’t be able to tailor our services and features the way you like it. Functional cookies are necessary as they allow us to make sure that your visit is as easy and smooth as possible. You can just jump straight in and check out what’s new in the world of liquid oats. Pretty nice, huh? 

ANALYTICAL COOKIES 
Analytical cookies collect general information and analytics about the way you use our site and services, so that we can track our website visitor’s behaviours and traffic and other geeky stuff like that. To be totally transparent, these cookies are probably the creepiest ones. But to not freak you out completely, we can’t see exactly who does what – it’s just all a bunch of numbers to us. 

ADVERTISING COOKIES 
The creepiest cookie of them all, the advertising cookie is purely placed on a website to track visitor’s activities, with the intent of using that information for advertising purposes a.k.a. to sell you stuff. Now that we have admitted to using them, it’s of course totally up to you to decide whether this level of creepiness is acceptable to you or not. 
 
How are we sharing your cookie information? 
We use a lot of Google products, and they come with all of the cookies we mentioned above. You can read more here of how they are dealing with your information.  
 
Oh, and then there’s tracking Pixels 
Both Cookies and Pixels have really cute names, but there are some differences and turning of cookies won’t disable pixels. Cookies are saved on the individual browser used and can’t follow users across devices. Tracking pixels sends information directly to web servers and can’t be disabled like cookies. 
 
 
COOKIES MANAGEMENT 
Since you’ve made it all the way down to this ‘cookies management’ section deep in our cookie policy, you probably know a bit about the usage and range of cookies we have on our site by now. It’s all pretty boring everyday website stuff to us, but if it doesn’t sound that way to you and you would like to control or review what types of cookies are currently being stored or maybe even go all out and clear any previously stored cookies, you can totally do that by adjusting the settings in your web browser or hand-held high-tech device. Simply go to the settings or preferences tab to manage your cookies and learn how to block all cookies, only accept first-party cookies, or clear out all cookies whenever you close down your browser. You can also go to aboutcookies.org to find out even more about all this cookie management stuff.  
 
Looking to escape being tracked? 
And if you don’t like the thought of Google Analytics collecting and storing information about you, there’s this web browser add-on called Google Analytics Opt-out that you can install that will help you out of that situation. 
In the spirit of privacy, all of this cookie finetuning stuff is entirely up to you, but just keep in mind that visiting our site may not be the smoothest experience of your life if you choose to opt out of all the cookies. But we’re going to leave that one up to you. 
 
CONTACTS US 
If you have any questions (like any at all) about our cookies and how we use them, please contact us.
 
That’s it!  
Congratulations, you made it to the very end of another boring cookie policy. You may now go pour yourself another glass of delicious oat drink to celebrate.
