Cookie Policy

Last updated: December 17, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how SSA LTD (SSA Group, “we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our webshop (https://datasets.store). It also describes the purposes for which we use these technologies and the choices available to you.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, improve your browsing experience, and allow us to understand how visitors interact with our webshop.

We also use tools such as Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Microsoft Clarity, which may deploy cookies or similar tracking technologies through scripts loaded on our site.

We use Zoho SalesIQ to provide real-time customer support via live chat. The service may set strictly necessary cookies to enable secure session handling and functional cookies to improve the usability of the chat widget. Zoho does not use these cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use cookies, local storage, session storage, and similar technologies.

2.2. Analytics & Performance Cookies

We use cookies to:

  • Ensure the webshop functions correctly
  • Secure the site and protect against fraud
  • Understand how users interact with our site (analytics)
  • Improve page performance and user experience
  • Store user preferences

We do not use cookies to store sensitive personal information.

Strictly necessary cookies are used because they are required for the operation and security of the webshop and do not require consent under applicable cookie laws.

In accordance with applicable data protection and cookie laws, analytics cookies (Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity) are not activated until you give consent.

You can:

  • Accept all cookies

  • Manage cookie preferences at any time

Live chat functionality is activated only when the user voluntarily initiates a chat, and any non-essential chat cookies are set only after consent.

You may block or delete cookies using your browser settings. However, disabling essential cookies will affect webshop functionality and certain features may not work properly.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some third-party service providers (Google, Microsoft, Zoho) may place cookies when their services are triggered through Google Tag Manager.

These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies:

We do not control third-party cookies and recommend reviewing their policies for more information.
