You may freely choose whether you wish to accept cookies on your device or not. Scania needs your consent to place and use cookies on your device, with the exception of such cookies that are strictly necessary for the safety and proper functioning of our website. We will only use other categories of cookies if you have allowed us to do so by checking the corresponding boxes.

If you at a certain point in time have chosen not to accept Scania’s use of cookies, or if you have previously accepted our use of cookies and wish to modify your choices, you can go back and adjust your cookie choices at any time by clicking on ‘Cookie Settings’ at the bottom of our website which will redirect you to our cookie consent management platform.

Below, you will find further information on cookies, including; what cookies are, which cookies we use, what our purpose is for using them, the retention period of each cookie, and how you go about blocking or deleting cookies.

Please note that if you refuse our use of cookies, the functionality of some parts of our website(s) may be limited.

What is a cookie?

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information, which are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie. Cookies are useful e.g. because of their ability to allow a website to recognise a user’s device.

Cookies which Scania uses are mainly placed on your device in the following three ways:

1)       A time-limited cookie remains on the website visitor's device for a predetermined period of time. The lifespan may vary between different types of cookies.

2)      A session cookie is temporarily stored in the device's memory while a website visitor is on a website. A session cookie is automatically cleared and deleted when the website visitor closes the browser window. Session cookies are used, among other things, to record statistics on the use of the website.

3)      Persistent cookies remain until you choose to delete them. These cookies are used, among other things, to store any of the personal settings which you have set at Scania’s websites so that you, for example, do not have to re-enter certain choices regarding your personal settings every time you visit the website, and to adapt and make information and marketing as relevant as possible for you.

You can find more information about cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org.

What do we use cookies for?

We use cookies to enhance the functionality of our website. For example, cookies help authenticate the user if the user logs in to a secure area of the website, to determine what information is made available on a particular webpage. Also, login information can be stored in a cookie, so the user can enter and leave the website without having to re-enter the same authentication information over and over. Cookies are also used to help you save certain information on the website, such as favourite products etc. They are also used for collecting statistics about user behaviour to enable us to improve the website experience.

Third Party Cookies

Third party cookies are stored by a third party other than the party responsible for the website, i.e. a company other than Scania.

Our website uses third-party cookies that are managed by Adobe, Baidu, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Twitter, Youko and YouTube. All these third-party cookies will forward and store information about your use of the webpage (including your IP address) to countries outside the European Union. These third parties may also transfer your information to other third parties if required by law.

Therefore, when you agree to consent to the use of these cookies, you authorize us to pass collected and maintained personal data to any country, including non-European Union countries, which may not have adequate data protection for the purposes described in this statement.

By declaring your consent as set forth in this cookie notice, you therefore explicitly and unambiguously agree that personal data, or parts thereof, may be disclosed or otherwise transferred, as described above, to recipients in countries that may provide different, less or even inadequate protection of personal data as compared to the standards applicable in the jurisdiction you reside or work in or from where you contacted us. For more information regarding Scania’s processing of personal data via cookies and the transfer of such personal data to third countries, please refer to the section ‘Processing of Personal Data and Transfers to Third Countries’ and Scania’s Privacy Statement.

Processing of Personal Data and Transfers to Third Countries

When you consent to Scania’s use of cookies, this means that you consent to our processing of your personal data, more specifically your IP address, geographical location, website behavior data, user ID, etc.

Some third party cookie providers are based outside the EU/EEA area, so called ‘third countries’. This means that when you consent to the placement of third party cookies provided by companies such as Google, your personal data may be transferred to a third country, in particular to the United States. In third countries, the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (2016/679) (‘GDPR’) does not apply, which means increased risk exposure for your personal data, including the possibility for authorities in third countries to access the personal data and your ability to exercise your rights as a data subject.

Read more about our personal data processing in our Privacy Statement found above.
