Introduction
What is this policy about?
This document tells you about tracking technologies (“trackers”) that help this website achieve the purposes outlined in this document.
What are trackers?
For simplicity, all such technologies are defined as “trackers” within this document — unless there is a reason to differentiate. For example, while cookies can be used on both web and mobile browsers, it would be inaccurate to talk about cookies in the context of mobile apps as they are a browser-based tracker. For this reason, within this document, the term cookies is only used where it is specifically meant to indicate that particular type of tracker.
Some of the purposes for which trackers are used may also require your consent. Whenever consent is given, it can be freely withdrawn at any time following the instructions provided in this document.
This website uses trackers managed directly by Somero (so-called “first-party” trackers) and trackers that enable services provided by a third-party (so-called “third-party” trackers). Unless otherwise specified within this document, third-party providers may access the trackers managed by them.
The validity and expiration periods of cookies and other similar trackers may vary depending on the lifetime set by Somero or the relevant provider. Some of them expire upon termination of your browsing session. In addition to what’s specified in the descriptions within each of the categories below, you may find more precise and updated information regarding lifetime specification as well as any other relevant information — such as the presence of other trackers — in the linked privacy policies of the respective third-party providers or by contacting Somero.

Displaying content from external platforms
This type of service allows you to view content hosted on external platforms directly from the pages of this website and interact with them. Such services are often referred to as widgets, which are small elements placed on a website or app. They provide specific information or perform a particular function and often allow for user interaction.

How to manage preferences and provide or withdraw consent
There are various ways to manage tracker related preferences and to provide and withdraw consent, where relevant:
You can manage preferences related to trackers from directly within your own device settings, for example, by preventing the use or storage of trackers.
Additionally, whenever the use of trackers is based on consent, you can provide or withdraw such consent by setting your preferences within the cookie notice or by updating such preferences accordingly via the relevant consent-preferences privacy widget, if available.
It is also possible, via relevant browser or device features, to delete previously stored trackers, including those used to remember your initial consent preferences.
Other trackers in the browser’s local memory may be cleared by deleting the browsing history.
With regard to any third-party trackers, you can manage your preferences via the related opt-out link (where provided), by using the means indicated in the third party’s privacy policy, or by contacting the third party.
Locating tracker settings

You may also manage certain categories of trackers used on mobile apps by opting out through relevant device settings such as the device advertising settings for mobile devices, or tracking settings in general (you may open the device settings and look for the relevant setting).

However, please note that trackers help this website to provide a better experience and advanced functionalities to you (in line with the purposes outlined in this document).
