Summary
This website is part of Fonecta's home page network, and the website uses cookies for purposes such as enabling the functionalities of the site and targeting advertising. If you wish, you can block or clear cookies through your browser settings, or opt out of targeted advertising by visiting the opt-out sites of the partners used for advertising targeting . By continuing to browse the website after being given this information and the options offered, the user accepts the placing of cookies.
Use of cookies
A cookie is a small, anonymous, user-specific text file that is stored in the user's web browser. A cookie contains a unique identifier by which the web browser visiting the site can be recognised (for example, when the user returns to a site visited earlier). A cookie can later be used only by the server that stored it, and it causes no harm to the user's device. A cookie alone cannot be used to identify a user personally.
By means of cookies we collect information about how and when our website is used: for example, from which page the user came to the site, when and which of our web pages the user has browsed, which browser the user uses, the resolution of the user's screen, the operating system of the device and its version, and the IP address.
Cookies are in principle divided into session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies expire when the user ends the web service; persistent cookies remain in the browser for a certain time or until the user deletes them. Cookies make websites easier to use and enable certain functionalities, such as remembering the session, user-specific personalisation of websites and easy authentication to the service.
So-called first-party cookies are set by the website shown in the address bar. In addition to these, our services use so-called third-party cookies, such as those of advertising networks, providers of measurement and tracking services, advertising technology suppliers and social media services.
Purposes of use
We use cookies to enable the functionalities of our services, to analyse the use of the site and optimise the user experience, for product development and reporting, and for targeting advertising. Cookies make our services easier to use and make the advertising shown more relevant and tailored to the user's likely interests.
The information collected from the website is used to form target groups within Fonecta's network and to expand existing target audiences by so-called look-a-like modelling. Target group information may be shared with third parties that wish to offer the user advertising which is estimated to be likely of interest to the user. These third parties may combine target group information describing the users of websites belonging to Fonecta's advertising network with their own data in order to buy advertising space on precisely the website visited by users interested in the advertiser's products or services. Further information is available on Fonecta's website at: More information about cookies (in Finnish)
Your options
By using our website you give your consent to the processing of data described above. If you wish, you can block the use of cookies or browse websites in private browsing mode ("Private Browsing", "Incognito" or "InPrivate") so that no information about the pages you have visited is stored by means of cookies. Please note, however, that many internet sites do not work properly without cookies.
You can clear your cookie history in your web browser settings. This removes the identifier stored in the web browser and the online behaviour profile based on it. This action does not prevent new cookies from being stored in the browser. Further information on removing and blocking cookies is available in the instructions of the manufacturer of the browser you use.
You can opt out of third-party advertising targeting on the Your Online Choices website. The partners used by Fonecta and links to the pages where advertising targeting can be blocked are listed at: More information about cookies (in Finnish)
Please note that cookie-related choices are browser-specific, i.e. if you use several browsers and/or devices, you must make the choices for each of them separately.
