Cookie Policy
Cookie Policy
Welcome to www.autosome.dk! In the below Cookie Policy, we Autosome ("we," "us," "our," "Autosome") inform you about the use of cookies on my website.
Why do we have a Cookie Policy?
The provision of information about our use of cookies is required and set out in the EU`s Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive ("PECD") and in parts the Danish Data Protection Act ("DPA") and the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"). However, and before we can go into more detail, we first need to understand what cookies are.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. If you then return to the same website, the website recognizes the cookie and remembers your device, the choices you have made, and acts in accordance with the specific objective a cookie has. As such cookies have a name and value and one or more defined characteristics, which are returned to the website as "user-related" information. So, thanks to cookies, a website knows who you are and offers you your usual default settings.
Origins and Lifespans of Cookies
There are however classes of cookies, namely first-party cookies which are placed directly by the website. As well as third-party cookies which are created by a partner website or server. And since it would not be very beneficial if all cookies would save the same information for the same period of time, each cookie stores different data and has a lifespan (that can vary from a few minutes to a few years). In this sense, we know understand that cookies are automatically placed in the cookie folder, effectively the "brain" of your browser, that each can have a different origin, holds different information, and can have a different lifespan depending on its objective. Because of that there are several types of cookies.
Types of Cookies
The least privacy invasive type of cookies are Essential or Necessary cookies. These cookies are essential or necessary to ensure that a website works properly and is secure so that you can navigate a website and use its features. Without these cookies, certain features of a website would not function, and thus you would not be able to use certain services.
There are also Functional cookies or sometimes called convenience cookies. These cookies allow a website to remember the options a user has made (including user ID`s stored, consents given, or languages selected) and other personalization options you have selected when browsing.
Further there are also Analysis and performance cookies, which are used to monitor and improve the function and service of a website. Those can track down problems when using a website, facilitate online surveys, record visitor numbers, and provide analytics metrics.
Lastly, advertising cookies or targeting cookies. They are used to deliver customized advertising to the user. This can be very convenient, but also very annoying.
The Cookies used on my website
The PECD, requires asking for your consent when using specific cookies (in particular any cookie that is not strictly necessary for the operation of the website, for example, Functional cookies, Analysis and performance cookies and Advertising cookies or targeting cookies).
Further and as the DPA and GDPR also require a legal basis for the use of personal data in relation to cookies, the use of cookies would then be your consent as well as our legitimate interest.
However, we belief that full control over your privacy is paramount and thus, we have made a stance against placing cookies that are not strictly necessary. Therefore, we are not required to obtain any consents. Nonetheless, this may change, and we ask you to regularly check this policy for any updates.
Analytics
We use Visitor Analytics and the Visitor Analytics tool works without cookies and does not collect any personal data. The Visitor Analytics tool triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Visitor Analytics does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags implemented with Visitor Analytics.
We commission Visitor Analytics to use this anonymized information to analyze the use of the website and to compile reports on website activity. In doing so, we aim to make our website more attractive and informative for you. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest and your consent.
Facebook Graph Api
Within our website, so-called "Facebook Graph Api" of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Meta Platforms Inc., is used. With the help of the Facebook Graph Api, it is possible for Facebook to determine the visitors to our offer as a target group for the display of advertisements, so-called "Facebook ads". Accordingly, we use the Facebook Graph Api to display the Facebook ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our website. This means that with the help of the Facebook we want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and do not have a harassing effect. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can also track the effectiveness of the Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad.
You can object to the collection by the Facebook pixel and use of your data for the display of Facebook ads. To do so, you can visit the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions there on the settings for usage-based advertising: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads or declare the objection via the US page http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU page http://www.youronlinechoices.com/.
