What Cookies Are and What They Are Used For

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (phone, computer, or tablet) and are commonly used on the internet. Some cookies are necessary for the functionality of the website, while others improve your user experience and make it easier to navigate the site.

There are two types of cookies: persistent cookies and session cookies.
Persistent cookies are stored on your device as a file for a longer period of time so that we can tailor the website to your preferences, choices, and interests. Cookies are used, for example, in features that inform you about updates to the website since your last visit. When the expiration date of a persistent cookie has passed, the cookie is deleted when you return to the website that created it.

Session cookies are temporarily stored on your device while you visit a website and are transferred between your device and the server for as long as you remain on the website. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. These cookies are used, for example, to track your language preference.

Examples of How Cookies May Be Used

• When you log in to a website, a cookie is stored on your computer. Each time you move to another page, your computer sends the cookie to the website you are visiting. By using the cookie, the website can determine that you are logged in, meaning you do not need to enter your username and password on every page.
• When you want to customize a website according to your preferences. Your preferences may include the appearance of the website you frequently visit, customized contrast or font size, or customized sorting or selections.
• On websites that sell services, cookies are used to facilitate bookings and orders.
• To register which users have visited specific pages of the website. This information can be used to display relevant advertising or otherwise customize the pages the user sees. Most cookies used for advertising and content customization are third-party cookies.
• To monitor traffic through statistical analysis in order to improve the website and learn more about different target groups. Most cookies used for statistics are third-party cookies.
• To track language preferences, booking codes, or membership levels.

Cookies can be divided into different categories depending on their function:

• Required: These cookies are necessary for certain features to function. For example, they may be used to identify and authenticate a user when logging into the IHG® Rewards service and during payment transactions. If you do not accept these cookies, you will not be able to use these features.
• Functional: These cookies make the website easier to use and more personalized by customizing information and offers related to things you have previously shown interest in. These cookies are also used to collect information about how visitors use finland.ihg.com (for example, popular pages and user patterns) so that the Company can improve the website and the Company’s digital services. If you do not accept these cookies, the functionality of the Company’s digital services will be limited.
• Advertising: These cookies are often third-party cookies, meaning they are used by the Company’s partners rather than the Company itself. These cookies use information about how you use the Company’s website or other websites—such as which sites you visit and which advertisements you interact with—in order to show you more relevant advertising in the future on both the Company’s websites and other websites. These advertisements are called “targeted ads,” as their purpose is to show you advertising that matches your interests. If you do not accept these cookies, your user experience may be reduced.

How to Disable Cookies

Cookies are not used to harm or damage your computer, and most web browsers automatically accept cookies. If you do not accept the use of cookies, you can change your browser settings on your computer and delete cookies stored on your hard drive.
You can also configure your browser so that it notifies you when it receives a cookie. This allows you to choose whether to accept or reject the cookie. For more information, please contact your browser provider. Additional information is also available at www.youronlinechoices.eu.

However, the Company does not control third-party cookies. Third-party cookies can only be disabled on the relevant website and in accordance with the instructions provided there.

If you refuse to accept cookies, it is possible that the digital services may not function as intended.

Why the Company Uses Cookies

By using cookies, the finland.ihg.com website recognizes your device when you revisit our website, meaning you do not have to enter certain information each time you use the Company’s digital services.
Cookies also help the Company customize services according to your needs, for example regarding language selection. Because cookies store information about your previously expressed interests, the Company can display information and offers—both from the Company and from external partners—that are hopefully relevant to your individual preferences. In short, the website becomes easier to use.

The Company also uses cookies to analyze search behavior and user behavior both within and outside the Holiday Inn website in order to further develop the Company’s digital services. The goal is to optimize user experiences, personalize marketing, and maintain statistics. Information may also be shared with other hotels that operate hotels under the finland.ihg.com website and used—if you identify yourself—together with your IHG® Rewards profile (if you are a member) or your customer profile.

We may also use other companies that store cookies on behalf of the Company in order to provide their services.

Cookies Used by the Company

The Company’s digital services collect and store information using technology from several tools. This information may be used to create user profiles that cannot be linked to a specific individual. Cookies may be used for this purpose.

We also use third-party cookies, mainly for measuring traffic and/or determining which digital services you most recently used.

If you want, I can also optimize this translation to sound more like a native U.S. legal website text (typical for hotel chains and corporate cookie policies) while keeping the meaning identical.
