1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device by websites you visit. They are widely utilized across the internet to ensure website functionality, enhance navigation speed, remember user preferences, and provide analytical reporting to site administrators.
2. Scope & Legal Framework
This Cookie Policy applies to lyserefremtid.com and governs our deployment of cookies in accordance with the EU ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC as amended) and the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679).
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
We deploy cookies categorized into three principal operational types:
- Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies: Indispensable for the core technical operation of our website, security firewalls, and language routing.
- Functionality / Preference Cookies: Enable our website to remember choices you make (such as language preferences or cookie consent state).
- Performance & Analytics Cookies: Gather aggregated, non-personally identifiable traffic metrics to help us evaluate content performance and navigation pathways.
4. Strictly Necessary Cookies
Essential cookies do not require prior user consent under European law because the website cannot function properly without them. These cookies enable page navigation, responsive rendering, and secure form submissions.
5. Preference & Functionality Cookies
Preference cookies store information regarding your interactions, such as preserving your selection between English and Finnish language editions, and recording whether you have acknowledged our informational cookie notice.
6. Performance & Analytical Cookies
Analytical cookies allow us to count page visits, identify traffic sources, and observe which hotel reviews attract the highest reader engagement. All data gathered by analytical scripts is anonymized and aggregated.
7. Third-Party Cookies & Outbound Tracking
When you click on outbound links leading to official hotel booking engines (e.g. Hotel Kämp, Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, Brenners Park-Hotel, Palácio Estoril, City of Dreams Mediterranean), those external third-party domains may place their own cookies onto your device. Lyserefremtid does not administer or access third-party cookies.
8. Cookie Lifespan & Expiration
Cookies deployed on our domain are classified by duration:
- Session Cookies: Temporary files erased automatically as soon as you close your web browser.
- Persistent Cookies: Remain stored on your device until their defined expiration date (typically between 30 days and 12 months) or until deleted manually.
9. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Upon your initial visit to lyserefremtid.com, you are presented with our Cookie Consent Banner allowing you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can adjust your consent at any time by clearing your browser cache or re-visiting this policy.
10. Browser-Level Cookie Management
Most internet browsers allow you to manage cookie settings through their preferences menu. You can configure your browser to block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or alert you when a cookie is offered. Please refer to your browser documentation (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) for specific instructions.
11. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals
Our website respects standard browser-level Do Not Track (DNT) and Global Privacy Control (GPC) headers. When a valid DNT or GPC signal is detected, optional analytical tracking is automatically disabled.
12. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect technical changes in our platform or amendments in European privacy legislation. Any modifications will be posted directly to this page with an updated revision date.
