Traficom’s instructions on cookies and consent

About general cookies

Cookies are small text files that the website stores on your computer or mobile device. Information is stored in cookies during the use of the site or between visits. Without the use of cookies, it would not be possible for websites or services to remember anything about visitors, the choices they make in the service or the inputs they provide there. Permanent cookies are cookies that are stored on your computer and are not deleted automatically when you close the browser. Session-specific cookies, on the other hand, are deleted when the session ends.

First-party cookies come directly from the website you are visiting. Only this site can read them. In addition, the website may use external services that send their own cookies. These are called third-party cookies.

The general condition for the storage and use of cookies or other information describing the use of the service is that the user has given his consent. However, consent does not need to be requested to set so-called essential cookies or other similar technologies in the following cases:

The sole purpose of storing and using data is to carry out message transmission in communication networks
The storage and use of information is necessary for the service provider to provide a service that the subscriber or service user has specifically requested

Other cookies are considered non-essential cookies and the user’s express consent must be obtained to set them.

In addition to cookies, the same rules also apply to other technologies that can be used to collect information about users. For example, tracking scripts, tracking pixels and other external resources, web storage objects (session storage, local storage) and link redirection (used in e.g. social media services, newsletter services and URL shortening services).
