How do you use cookies and web beacons?

Cookies are small text files that are sent to your computer by a web server. We use cookies to provide benefits to you. Session cookies remember the previous activity performed by you, for example an item you placed in a shopping cart. Persistent cookies are used to save your preferences over multiple sessions, for example personalisation of settings on our websites.

Cookies may be used to display targeted ads and recommendations, for example to stop us showing you the same ads multiple times or so we can show you ads that might be of interest to you based on your past actions on our website. Cookies are also used to determine the effectiveness of our promotions and advertising campaigns, and to improve our products and services.

Nokia may use web beacons (sometime called “pixel tags”) in connection with our websites. However, we do not use them to identify individual users personally. Web beacons are typically graphic images that are placed on a website to count the number of visitors, or to access certain cookies. This information is used to improve our services. Web beacons don’t typically collect any other information other than the data your browser provides. If you turn off cookies, the web beacon will no longer be able to track your specific activity. The web beacon may, however, continue to collect information about visits from your IP address.

Most browsers allow you to disable or allow the use of cookies. You may also delete the cookies on your computer if your browser so permits. If you disable cookies, you may not be able to use certain parts of our services and you may need to re-install the opt-out cookie.
