1. Key concepts
First-party cookies are cookies set by the website the user is currently visiting (e.g. cookies set by the Zoner.fi website).
Third-party cookies are cookies set by a party other than the website the user is visiting. If a user visits a website and another operator sets cookies through that website, these are third-party cookies.
Persistent cookies remain on the user’s device for the duration specified in the cookie. They are activated each time the user visits the website that set the persistent cookie.
Session cookies enable website operators to link a user’s actions during a browser session. A browser session begins when the user opens the browser window and ends when the user closes the browser window. Session cookies are created temporarily. When you close your browser, all session cookies are deleted.

5. What cookies do we use and why?
The cookies we use are classified as “essential cookies”, “performance cookies”, “functional cookies”, and “marketing cookies”:
5.1 Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. Essential cookies are generally only used in response to actions you take. These actions refer to service requests you make, such as logging in or filling in forms. You can also set your browser to block or alert you to these cookies, but some parts of the site will then not work. These cookies do not store any information that could be used to identify a person.
We use essential cookies to identify and authenticate your login to the website, to ensure you are connected to the right service when making any changes on the site, and to ensure security.
5.2 Performance cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so that we can measure and improve the performance of the site. They help us to identify the most popular and least popular pages, and to understand how visitors move around the site.
All information collected by these cookies is anonymous aggregate data. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.
We use performance cookies to carry out web analytics and to measure potential errors.
5.3 Functional cookies
These cookies allow us to improve the functioning and personalisation of the website. They may be set by us or by external service providers. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.
We use functional cookies to provide you with enhanced functionality and personalised content. These cookies may be set by external service providers whose services we have added to our site.
5.4 Marketing cookies
These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed. We use this information to make our website and the advertising on it more relevant and interesting to you. We may also share this information with third parties for the same purpose. These cookies may be set by our advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and to show you relevant advertisements based on this. These cookies do not store directly personal information, but they are based on the unique identification of your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will receive less targeted advertising.
6. Cookie retention period
The retention period of a cookie varies depending on its purpose. For example, a session cookie that enables the functioning of the website remains on your device only while you are browsing our website, while other cookies remain on your device for longer, such as functional cookies that need to remain on your device so that the website can recognise you when you return to the site. For more information on cookie retention periods, please see our cookie notice.
7. Keeping the cookie policy up to date
We may periodically update our cookie policy if we decide to use cookies in different ways. All changes will be published on this page.
For more information about the processing of personal data through our website, please see our privacy policy, which can be found here.
