Cookie policy

Last updated

This policy explains how Contimo uses cookies and similar technologies on contimo.io, including www.contimo.io, and in advertising shown on partner publishers’ websites. These are separate contexts: you manage consent for this website here, and consent for advertising through the publisher’s consent banner.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. Similar technologies, such as local storage and session storage, can also remember information about a visit. We use these technologies to remember privacy choices, understand website use and measure advertising performance.

Who is responsible?

Contimo ApS provides a native advertising platform that shows sponsored articles and teasers on partner publishers’ websites.

Contimo is registered with IAB Europe’s Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF) as vendor number 1299. For more information about personal data, see our privacy policy.

Cookies and similar technologies on this website

We use Cookiebot to manage and remember your privacy choices. Its CookieConsent cookie stores your consent state so that the website can respect your preferences on later visits. This consent-management storage is separate from optional analytics. Cookiebot normally asks you to renew your consent after 12 months.

Statistics and session replay

We use PostHog to understand page visits, button and link interactions, scroll depth and demo-form activity. With statistics consent, it stores identifiers in browser local storage and session storage, and can record your interaction with the website using session replay. Form inputs are masked; network request bodies, headers and console logs are not recorded.

PostHog storage keys use the ph_ prefix and include a project-specific identifier. Local storage can persist across browser visits until it is cleared; session storage is limited to the browser tab’s session. Withdrawing statistics consent clears the website’s PostHog storage and stops session replay.

We also use the session-storage entry contimo_campaign_context, only with statistics consent, to remember campaign attribution during navigation. It is removed when statistics consent is withdrawn. UTM campaign tags may also be carried in internal links; those URL parameters are not cookies.

Before statistics consent, or after it is withdrawn, our PostHog integration uses cookieless analytics. It does not store PostHog identifiers in browser storage or record sessions. PostHog receives request information, including the IP address and browser user agent, to derive its cookieless identifier. Cookieless analytics still involves data processing; our privacy policy explains this in more detail.

Changing your website preferences

Use “Change your consent” above to reopen the Cookiebot banner and change or withdraw your statistics consent. These preferences apply to contimo.io. You can also remove cookies and browser storage through your browser settings; removing the consent record may cause the banner to appear again.

Cookies in advertising on publisher websites

The following cookies support Contimo advertising on partner publishers’ websites. This list does not mean that all four are set when you visit Contimo’s own website.

Name Provider Purpose Maximum lifetime Type
UUID Contimo All seven advertising purposes listed below 2 years HTTP cookie
ucv Contimo Store/access device information; select advertising 2 years HTTP cookie
ubv Contimo Store/access device information; select advertising 2 years HTTP cookie
ubvc Contimo Store/access device information; select advertising 2 years HTTP cookie

Advertising purposes and retention

  1. Store and/or access information on a device. We set and read the cookies listed above. Their lifetimes are shown in the table.
  2. Use limited data to select advertising. We choose a campaign based on the page, approximate location and device, without creating a profile of you. Personal data is retained for up to 365 days.
  3. Measure advertising performance. We count impressions, clicks, reading time and conversions, including to support invoicing advertisers. Personal data is retained for up to 365 days.
  4. Measure content performance. We measure how sponsored articles are read. Personal data is retained for up to 365 days.
  5. Understand audiences through statistics or combinations of data from different sources. We produce aggregate statistics across publishers and campaigns. Personal data is deleted or anonymised after 180 days.
  6. Develop and improve services. We improve delivery and optimisation features. Personal data is deleted or anonymised after 180 days.
  7. Use limited data to select content. We choose which sponsored article or teaser to show, without creating a profile of you. Personal data is retained for up to 365 days.

A cookie’s lifetime on your device is different from the retention period for the personal data processed for each purpose. After the applicable 180-day or 365-day period, only anonymous, aggregated statistics are kept, unless retention is required by law.

We do not create personalised advertising profiles, use precise geolocation or actively scan device characteristics.

Data used for advertising

Depending on the purpose and your consent, we process IP addresses; device characteristics such as browser, operating system and screen information; authentication-derived identifiers; page and interaction data such as impressions, clicks and reading time; approximate location derived from IP addresses; and privacy choices, including your TCF consent string.

Contimo and the publisher whose website you visit are joint controllers for the advertising processing described here, except that Contimo is the independent controller for “Understand audiences” and “Develop and improve services”.

We carry out the seven advertising purposes only with your consent, under Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and the Danish cookie rules. You give or refuse consent in the publisher’s consent banner. You can withdraw it at any time in the publisher’s cookie settings, and withdrawing should be as easy as giving consent. Changing consent on contimo.io does not change your choices on a publisher’s website.

Recipients and international transfers

Advertisers receive aggregated advertising reports only. Where personal data is transferred outside the EU/EEA, we use applicable safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework for covered recipients. See our privacy policy for information about service providers and transfers.

Your rights

Subject to the applicable conditions, you can request access, correction, deletion, restriction of processing or a portable copy of your personal data, and you can object to processing. You can withdraw consent where processing relies on it. Contact privacy@contimo.io. You can also complain to the Danish Data Protection Agency, Datatilsynet.

Advertising labelling

Our advertising content is marked “Annonce” or “Sponsoreret”, together with the advertiser’s name. We do not run political advertising.
