When you contact us with questions about your subscription, delivery of physical products, online access or other topics, we may ask for your personal data.

6. Cookies
First-party cookies
A cookie may contain text, numbers or, for example, a date, and is basically a text file stored on your computer, tablet or phone. It is not a program and cannot contain viruses. Since a cookie is stored on your device, you can always view, change or delete these cookies. To do so, go to your browser settings.
We use cookies for statistics and analysis and basic site functionality, which helps us to improve our products through user insight. We collect information about when and how long you visit a website, which and how many sections, articles and other products you visit, whether your computer has visited us before, which browser and operating system you use, IP numbers, which advertisements you see, etc. With your consent, we also use the collected information to target our direct marketing to you. Furthermore, we use the information to document and clarify the value of ad impressions to our advertisers.
When using Nordiske Meier’s websites in a normal manner, where you do not use forms to directly enter information such as your name and address, the websites solely use cookies. If you provide additional information, e.g. in connection with creating a ‘Login’, a cross-reference will be made that enables Nordiske Medier to make your behaviour personally identifiable. These cross-references can only be made by Nordiske Medier, and not by our partners. All companies in the Nordjyske Mediehus group may use the information, although only a few employees are able to view and decode it.
These cookies are called first-party cookies and are set by Nordiske Medier.
Third-party cookies
Nordiske Medier also has a number of partners who set cookies – so-called third-party cookies. These cookies may be set by our advertisers, media agencies, advertising networks and other services (e.g. Facebook).
Third-party cookies are used to ensure the delivery of targeted online advertisements and to ensure the functionality of the services offered by our sites. In questionnaire surveys, analyses and similar, cookies are set for the purpose of registering your response and thus avoiding you receiving the same questionnaire again.
Information collected via cookies is stored in our systems – internally or with partners. We have entered into data processing agreements with our partners, who are therefore jointly responsible for the protection of personal data. We do not transfer/exchange data with parties with whom we do not have EU-valid data processing agreements.

If you have the right to have the processing restricted, we may hereafter only process the information with your consent, except for storage purposes, or for the purpose of establishing, asserting or defending legal claims, or to protect a person or important societal interests.
• e. Right to object
In certain cases, you have the right to object to our otherwise lawful processing of your personal data. You may also object to the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes.

If you wish to update/manage your consent to the newsletter, you can do so at the bottom of all newsletters you receive from us. Additionally, you can contact our customer service (see section 8).
