viaplayradio.se Cookie Policy

In order to ensure that you receive the most relevant information and the best service when you visit viaplayradio.se, information and data will be collected through the use of cookies. It helps us (and other authorized third parties) to provide you with a personalized experience when you visit our Site, and it also allows us to improve our service and make sure that you will easily find what you want. We want you to understand our use of cookies, so this Cookie Policy explains the types of technologies we use, what they do and your choices regarding their use.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data (text files) that are sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your device so that the website can recognize your device. There are two types of cookies, permanent and temporary or “session” cookies. Permanent cookies are stored as a file on your computer or mobile device for a longer period of time. Session cookies are temporarily placed on your computer when you visit our Site, but are erased when you shut down the page.

Other than essential cookies, which are necessary for the functionality of our Site, we only store cookies on your device with your consent. If you do not want to accept cookies, you can adjust the settings in your web browsers security preferences, see more information on this below.

We and our service providers may use the following categories of cookies:

Essential cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary for us to provide our Services. For example, we may use these cookies to distinguish you from other users when listening to and voting on content. Without these cookies we would not be able to recognise you and you would not be able to use our Services.

Performance and functionality cookies: These cookies are not strictly necessary, but allow us to personalise your online experience of our Site. For example, they allow us to remember your preferences (e.g. volume levels and favourite channels) and mean that you do not need to re-enter information you have already provided (e.g. when participating in contests). We also use these cookies to collect information (e.g. popular pages, viewing patterns, click-throughs) about our visitors' usage of our Services so that we can improve our Site and Services and conduct market research. If you choose to delete these cookies you will have limited functionality of our Services.

Advertising cookies: These cookies use information about your usage of our Site and other websites, e.g. the pages you visit or your response to ads, to deliver ads that are more tailored to you, both on and off our Site. These types of ads are called “Interest-Based Advertising.” Many of these types of cookies belong to our service providers. For third party advertisers, see more below.
