What are cookies and for what purposes do we use them on our website? What are cookies? Cookies are small text files that the browser you use stores on your computer, mobile device or other device when you use websites. Cookies store data during the use of the website and between visits. Technologies similar to cookies, which are also referred to in this cookie policy, mean pixels, web beacons and various tags that can be embedded in websites or newsletters, for example. Cookies and similar technologies can be used to collect e.g. your IP address, various device and advertising identifiers, and data about which websites have been visited at any given time, or to track which content has been used or products purchased, or whether you have clicked open the newsletter we sent, for example. If the data collected through cookies is personal data, the data will be processed in accordance with the privacy statement in addition to what is described here. What do we use cookies for? We use cookies and similar technologies on our website for the following purposes:

For example, cookies are used to remember the language selection and the answer to this cookie consent enquiry. Essential cookies are always turned on unless you block them from your browser settings (see “How can you manage and delete cookies?” below).
  • Analytics cookies: Analytics cookies are used to collect data on how our website and services are used in order to improve the performance and user experience of our website and our services, e.g. by understanding which pages and features are popular and how people navigate our site.
