COOKIE POLICY

Effective date: 5 October 2025

The Entrepreneurship Unit (“ENTU”) operates as part of the Aalto University School of Business. As part of Aalto University, ENTU follows the university’s data protection principles and broader policies that guide the responsible and transparent handling of information.

This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used on our website entu.aalto.fi, which is hosted on Webflow. It describes what cookies are, how they function, and what limited role they play in ensuring the secure and reliable operation of the website.

Protecting your privacy is important to us. ENTU does not use cookies for analytics, advertising, or visitor tracking. Only essential technical cookies, if any, are used to support the proper functioning of the site.

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer or device when you visit a website. They enable websites to operate efficiently, for example, by allowing secure connections, distributing network traffic, or remembering certain settings during a session.

Cookies can be classified according to their purpose (such as strictly necessary, functional, analytics, or advertising) and their duration (for instance, session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain until manually removed or expired).

2. How cookies are used on this website

The website entu.aalto.fi is primarily informational. Visitors can learn about ENTU’s research, projects, and activities, and contact us through a simple online form.

ENTU itself does not use cookies or other tracking technologies for analytics, advertising, or profiling. However, because the website is hosted on Webflow, a third-party hosting platform, certain strictly necessary technical cookies may be automatically placed by Webflow to:

  • Deliver pages correctly to your browser
  • Maintain secure and reliable website operation
  • Support load balancing between servers

If such cookies are used, they are essential for the technical functioning of the website and do not collect personal data for analytical or marketing purposes.

3. Types of cookies

At the time of publication, the entu.aalto.fi website uses only a very limited set of cookies necessary for its technical operation. These include:

  • Strictly necessary cookies – Set by our hosting provider, Webflow, to ensure that the website loads securely, performs reliably, and delivers pages correctly to visitors. These cookies are essential for technical functionality and do not store personally identifiable information.
  • Third-party media cookies – Certain pages include embedded video content from YouTube, a service provided by Google LLC. When you view or play these videos, YouTube may place cookies on your device to enable video playback, remember user preferences, and gather anonymised viewing statistics. ENTU does not control these cookies and does not receive any personal data from them.

ENTU does not use any performance, analytics, marketing, or targeting cookies of its own.

If additional features are introduced in the future that require new types of cookies, this Cookie Policy will be updated accordingly, and visitors will be informed of any material changes.

4. Third-party cookies

Some pages on this website include embedded video content from YouTube, a service provided by Google LLC. When you visit a page containing an embedded video, or when you choose to play the video, YouTube may place cookies on your device to enable playback, remember preferences, and collect anonymous usage statistics.

Where possible, we use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode, which loads the video from the domain youtube-nocookie.com. This setting helps to reduce the use of cookies and prevents most tracking activity until the visitor actively plays the video.

ENTU does not control the operation of these cookies and does not receive any personal data from YouTube. For more information about how Google uses cookies and personal data in connection with YouTube, please see Google Privacy Policy and YouTube Cookie Information.

If you follow links from entu.aalto.fi to other Aalto University pages or external websites, those sites may use cookies according to their own cookie and privacy policies.

5. Managing cookies

Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. You may:

  • View which cookies have been stored on your device
  • Delete existing cookies
  • Block future cookies from being saved

To do this, follow the instructions provided by your browser (usually found under “Help,” “Tools,” or “Settings”). Please note that disabling cookies that are strictly necessary for technical operation may affect how the website functions or prevent some pages from displaying properly.

6. Data security and privacy

Any technical information processed through Webflow’s hosting infrastructure is handled securely in accordance with Webflow’s own safeguards. These essential cookies, if present, do not allow ENTU or Webflow to identify individual visitors.

For more information about how Webflow protects personal data and manages cookies, please refer to the Webflow Global Privacy Policy and Webflow Cookie Policy.

7. Updates to this Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our website, hosting arrangements, or applicable legal requirements. The effective date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised.

If material changes occur, for example, the introduction of new cookies or third-party tools, we will post a notice on this website to inform visitors. We encourage you to review this page occasionally to stay informed about how cookies are used on our site.
