What salmisson.com stores in your browser, which cookie categories we use, and how you can control them yourself.
How to control cookiesScope of this policy
A short document about a small technical detail
This Cookie Policy explains how salmisson.com uses cookies and similar technologies, what categories are used, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside the privacy policy, which covers personal data more broadly.
Reading the two side by side helps: the privacy policy sets out what we hold and why, while this page deals only with the small files a browser keeps on your device and the choices you have over them.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. They allow the site to remember information between pages or between visits, such as your preferences or whether you have already seen a notice. A cookie on its own usually carries an identifier and a few settings rather than any meaningful content.
Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in comparable ways. Local storage keeps data on your device for a site to read later, without sending it back with every request the way a cookie does. This policy covers cookies and these similar methods together.
You can inspect what a site has left behind: most browsers list stored cookies, their originating domain and the time they expire, which is a useful thing to check if you are unsure why a setting keeps reappearing.
Why this site uses cookies
Cookies are used for two main purposes. Some are necessary for the site to function correctly and securely. Others help us understand how visitors use the pages so we can improve them.
We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles or to sell data to third parties. Where a measurement tool is in place, it is there to tell us which route guides and comparison pages people actually read, and where a page loses them.
Categories of cookies we use
- Strictly necessary cookies
- Required for the site to work, including security and basic functionality. These cannot be switched off through the site.
- Analytics cookies
- Used in aggregate to understand which pages are visited and how visitors move through the site. They help identify pages that need improvement.
- Preference cookies
- Remember choices you make, such as settings that affect how the site behaves on your device.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by service providers that help run the site, such as hosting and analytics providers. These providers process data on our behalf and according to our instructions. They do not receive permission to use it for their own marketing.
Third-party providers may have their own policies describing how they handle data. We choose providers that process information for the purposes we specify, and we review those arrangements when a tool is replaced or its settings change. If you want to know which providers are active, the contact page is the place to ask.
Contact us about cookiesWhat you can do
How to control cookies
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you view stored cookies, delete individual ones, block categories, or block all cookies. The exact steps depend on the browser and device you use.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site from working correctly. Blocking analytics cookies does not affect how the site functions for you.

Open your browser's privacy settings
Look for a section named privacy, security, or site data. Every mainstream browser on desktop and phone carries one, usually two menus deep.

Review what is stored
The stored-cookie list shows each item, the domain that set it, and when it expires. You can delete single entries here rather than clearing everything.
-
Choose what to block
You can block third-party cookies while allowing first-party ones, which keeps a site usable and still trims most tracking. Private or incognito windows discard session cookies when you close them.
Cookie duration
Cookies are either session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies are removed when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a set period or until you delete them.
The duration depends on the purpose. Preference cookies typically last longer than session cookies, while analytics cookies are set for a defined period and then expire. Expiry dates are visible in your browser's stored-cookie list, so you can always check what is still active.
Session cookies
Active while you move between pages in one visit, then cleared when the browser closes. These carry no long-term memory of you.
Persistent cookies
Kept for a defined period so a preference survives your next visit. Deleting them resets the site to its default behaviour.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy if the cookies used on the site change or if requirements change. The current version applies from the date it appears on this page. Where changes are significant, we will make this clear on the site.
If a new measurement tool is added or a provider is replaced, this page is edited first so the description stays accurate. Older versions are not archived on the site; the wording you read here is the wording that currently applies.
Questions about cookies on this site
If you have a question about cookies on this site, use the contact page. For broader questions about personal data, the privacy policy explains how to make a request.
Where to go next on this site
If the cookie question is settled, these pages cover the road navigation material itself, and the legal documents sit at the end of the list.
