Marketing cookies
The information collected by marketing cookies is used to develop and target marketing. In practice, this means that when you visit our site or a third-party partner site or click on an advertisement for FVR – Finnish Vaccine Research, your activities will be tracked using cookies if you have given your consent.
We use both first-party cookies (set by FVR – Finnish Vaccine Research) and third-party cookies (META: Facebook Pixel). When you enter our site, the marketing cookie in the cookie banner is inactive by default and requires your consent to activate. If you delete or clear cookies or change the browser you are using, you will need to reconfigure these cookie settings.
The Facebook Pixel may be used to measure and create ads for custom audiences and to ensure that our ads are shown to the right audience. The Facebook Pixel also allows us to track the effectiveness of Facebook ads and to use this information for statistical and market research purposes. We cannot see any personal information about our individual users.
However, Facebook will store and process the information collected and may choose to associate that information with the user’s Facebook account and use the information for its own marketing purposes in accordance with Facebook’s privacy policy. On Facebook, you can opt out of the use of your information for custom audiences by following this link: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads.
