1. General
1.1 This Cookie Policy explains how Tiedot Yhtiöt Oy (Business ID 3379419-3, Asemakatu 18 as. 2, 90100 Oulu, Finland) ("Tiedot", "we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on the website tiedot.info and its related subdomains, including the sign-in area (the "Website").
More detailed information about the processing of personal data is available in our Privacy Policy.
1.2 Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit the Website. Similar technologies include browser local storage and tracking pixels. These technologies allow the Website and the sign-in area to function correctly and securely, remember your preferences and, with your consent, measure Website usage and the effectiveness of our marketing.
2. How consent works on the Website
2.1 Tags on the Website are managed through Google Tag Manager and controlled using Google Consent Mode v2. When you first visit the Website, a consent banner asks you to choose your cookie preferences. Analytics and advertising tags are loaded, and cookies in those categories are set, only if you have given your consent for the relevant category. Strictly necessary cookies are used without consent, as they are needed to provide the Website and the sign-in area you request and to keep them secure.
2.2 You may change or withdraw your consent at any time by reopening the cookie settings through the "Manage cookies" link on the Website. Withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

Such transfers are based on the European Commission's adequacy decision on the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework or on Standard Contractual Clauses.
