What cookies does SuomiGuide use?

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. By default SuomiGuide uses only strictly necessary cookies. Other cookies are used only after you give permission.

Four categories

• Necessary, always on: keep you signed in (sessionid), protect forms (csrftoken), remember your cookie choice for 6 months (ng_cookie_consent) and tell people from bots (Cloudflare).
• Analytics, only with consent: Google Analytics 4 counts visits.
• Marketing, only with consent: Google Ads measures ads.
• External content, only with consent: maps, videos and widgets from other services. Before consent, a placeholder is shown instead.

We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page views without cookies and without identifying you.

How to choose

The cookie banner has three equal buttons: "Accept all", "Reject non-essential" and "Customise". Refusing is as easy as accepting. Closing the banner or scrolling the page does not mean consent.

How to change your choice

• Click the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of every page.
• When you withdraw consent, analytics and marketing stop working at once.
• We ask you again after 6 months.

You can also block cookies in your browser settings. If you block all cookies, signing in and forms may not work. If the site behaves strangely, see The site isn't working: what to check.

What is this based on?
