The www.fostersvensson.com may use cookies to improve user experience while using our website. Cookies are small pieces of data that your browser stores locally, which remember information and help you identify yourself on websites during subsequent visits. Cookies are uniquely assigned to a computer and can only be read by the server in the domain that issued the cookie. In general, cookies help users by performing certain functions such as remembering passwords and personal preferences regarding websites.

You may be given the option to accept or decline cookies. Most Internet browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser settings to refuse cookies. Alternatively, you can change your browser settings to notify you each time a cookie is offered and allow you to individually accept or decline cookies. However, if you refuse to accept a cookie, it may interfere with the operation and negatively affect the use of the website. Our software may contain links to other websites.

We use cookies for several reasons:

– for analytical and statistical purposes to track how many visitors we have and how often they visit our websites (we collect information that indicates which of our pages are most frequently visited and by which types of users and from which countries)
– we use other organizations to collect anonymous user data, sometimes through cookies and web beacons, (data embedded in images that allow them to analyze how the website is used and the number of visitors). For example, our websites may contain certain proprietary measurement software, which will allow you to contribute to market research
– we and other advertisers may use statistical cookies to track who has seen and clicked on an ad
– placing cookies on your computer means that we can show you ads that may be of interest to you and allows us to control how many times you see them and measure how effective the ad campaign was
– we may use “Flash” cookies to save your preferences for your media device (for example, volume and so on). If we don’t use them, you may not be able to watch some video content. You can turn-off cookies, but if you do, you may not be able to use all the services on our websites and you may see more pop-ups and other advertising. This is because we won’t be able to limit what you see with cookies. However, you will still be able to see our editorial content

As you browse our pages on the website, some of the cookies we place on your computer will be advertising cookies so that we can better understand what pages interest you. We may then display advertising in your browser based on those observed interests. For example, if you read a lot of articles about food and drink, you may be shown more ads for food and drink. It is important to remember that none of the techniques we use will collect information such as your name, email address, postal address, or telephone number.

We may also share anonymized behavioral data with advertising partners, including commercial organizations that fund content marked as “Supported”, “Paid / Paid Content” or “Advertiser / Our Advertiser Content”. This may mean that other websites will show you advertisements based on your behavior on our or third-party websites. We may also show you advertising messages on our website based on your behavior on other websites.

Some of the advertisers allow ads to be served based on your browsing patterns and interactions with web pages outside of our website. For example, if you visited the website of an online clothing store, you may start seeing ads from that same shopping website that show special offers or products that you viewed. This allows companies to advertise directly to you if you leave their website without making a purchase.

Opting-out of receiving this type of advertising does not mean that you will no longer receive advertising messages when you use our websites. It just means that the advertising you see won’t be tailored to you.

Mobile advertising may require the collection and sharing of a unique device ID with companies that purchase advertising space in the mobile application.
