How Do We Use Cookies and Web
Beacons?
Cookies are small text files that are
sent to your computer by a web
server. We use cookies to provide
benefits to you. Session cookies
remember the previous activity
performed by you, for example an
item you placed in a shopping cart.
Persistent cookies are used to save
your preferences over multiple
sessions, for example personalization
of settings on our websites. Cookies
may be used to display targeted ads
and recommendations, for example

you multiple times or showing ads

based on your past actions on our

promotions and advertising

products and services.
Nokia may use web beacons (or “pixel

be able to track your specific activity.
The web beacon may, however,
continue to collect information about
visits from your IP-address.
