No other third-party cookies and/or cookies related to advertising or commercial services are used.
If you don't want to accept cookies, your web browser can be set so to refuse storage or allow you to be informed every time a website requests to store a cookie. The browser can also delete all cookies already saved.

You can, at any time, revoke this permission and also request that your ORCID is deleted from Chalmers PDB.

Traffic data
To log and analyse visits to orcid.chalmers.se, we use the software Matomo which is an open source software,
operated and administered locally by the Chalmers library.
We do not use external tracking services, such as Google Analytics, nor do we share any information about visits to the service with any third party.
By anonymising IP-numbers, no information that can be associated with any individual or computer is stored. Stored visitor data is deleted after a maximum of 6 months.
Logging of traffic to this web page helps us to get a proper understanding of how the service is used and thereby gain the basis for continuous development and improving the user experience.
You may always choose not to allow the service to store information about your visits by configuring your browser or by setting your browser to automatically deny cookies
or to be notified every time a site requests to store a cookie.
We would like to remind you that you as a visitor actively contribute to a better service by letting us know how you use it and that we never save data that can be linked to individuals.
