Cookie Policy
This page explains which cookie files trafflicom.com stores in your browser, what they do, and how to change or remove them. It supplements our Privacy Policy and applies to everyone reading our guides on Finnish vehicle registration and traffic rules.

What this page covers
The policy below is written to be read once and understood. It describes cookie files in plain terms, lists the small set we use on this site, shows where your browser controls live, and explains what happens when we embed or link to something operated by another organization. Where our guides link to official registers, those destinations follow their own rules and their own cookie policies.
Basics
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. They allow a site to remember information between page requests, such as a preference or a session state. Similar technologies, including local storage, work in comparable ways. Cookies themselves do not identify you by name; they identify a browser session or a stored setting.
In practice this means a cookie can tell our site that the browser visiting the registration guide is the same one that already made a choice on the banner, or that a page was opened during the current visit. It does not tell us who you are, where you live, or which car you own. Anything you send us through the contact page is handled separately and described in our Privacy Policy.
Cookies we use
We use cookies that are necessary for the site to function correctly, such as remembering your cookie choice.
Where usage measurement is in place, it is configured to collect aggregate information about page visits rather than to build a profile of an individual visitor. We do not use cookies to serve targeted advertising on this site, and we do not sell cookie data.
- Strictly necessary
- Keeps the site working: remembering whether you accepted or declined the cookie notice, and keeping a page session stable while you move between guides. Blocking this type can make parts of the site behave unpredictably.
- Aggregate measurement
- Counts which pages are opened and how often, so we know which registration and traffic-rules topics are worth expanding. Reports are about pages, not people, and are not used to target advertising.
- Preference storage
- Remembers small display choices so you do not have to set them again on every page. Clearing your browser data removes them and the site may ask again on your next visit.
- Advertising cookies
- We do not set advertising or cross-site tracking cookies on trafflicom.com, and we do not pass cookie data to advertising networks.
Managing cookies in your browser
You can view, block, and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you set rules per site or block third-party cookies entirely. If you block cookies that the site needs for basic functionality, some features, including remembering your cookie preference, may not work as expected. Clearing cookies removes any stored preference, and the site may ask again on your next visit.
- See what is stored Open your browser's privacy or storage settings and list the entries saved for this domain to see exactly which cookie files name trafflicom.com.
- Block by site or by type Every major browser allows per-site rules, and several let you refuse third-party cookies while keeping first-party ones, which is usually enough for reading our guides.
- Clear existing cookies Deleting stored data resets any cookie choice you made here. Nothing else on the site breaks for readers who only browse text pages.
- Private windows A private or incognito window keeps cookies only until you close it, which is a simple way to check how the site behaves with a clean start.
Browser settings are the one place where the decision is yours. Nothing on this site requires you to accept measurement cookies before reading a guide.
Third-party services
If a third-party service is embedded on a page, that provider may set its own cookies subject to its own policy. Links from our guides to official registers or other organizations take you to sites we do not control, and their cookie practices are described in their own policies. We recommend checking those policies when you follow such a link.
Two habits make this easier. Open unfamiliar links in a new tab so our page stays where you left it, and read the privacy notice at the foot of the destination site before you enter personal details there. A cookie set by an official register is governed by that register, not by us, and we cannot remove it on your behalf.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy if the cookies used on the site change or if the applicable rules change. The current version is the one published on this page. Material changes will be reflected in the text rather than announced separately, so it is worth reviewing this page if you have questions about how the site handles cookies.
A revision is usually small: a new embedded service, a change in how measurement is configured, or a clarification of wording after a question from a reader. When the list of cookies actually changes, the section above is updated in the same edit so the description and the running site stay in step. The reviewed date near the top of this page tells you when the text was last checked.
If you keep a bookmark to a specific section of this policy, check the reviewed date before relying on the wording. Older copies floating around elsewhere are not the version we stand behind.
