Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or other device by websites you visit or certain emails you open. They are widely used to make websites easier to use and to share business and marketing information between website owners and providers of analytics and marketing services.

Information provided in the loan application is not used for any of the purposes described below, except for a few details specified in Chapter 2 regarding participants in advertising campaigns. In all analytics and marketing tracking, the data provided in loan applications is protected in such a way that it is encrypted and transferred directly to Sortter's server, and is not shared with any other party except for the financial institutions participating in the loan comparison. These institutions are bound by the statutory confidentiality obligations of financial institutions.

We use cookies for the following purposes:

Here is a link that allows you to change your cookie settings in our consent tool.

Essential cookies are cookies that are used for technical purposes, so that the website works as efficiently and safely as possible. These cookies enable the basic functions of our service, such Essential cookies are used for technical reasons to ensure that the website functions as efficiently and securely as possible. These cookies enable the core functionalities of our service, such as navigating between pages, using our website, and supporting language selection. Such cookies help remember the choices you make, so we don't need to ask them again each time you visit.

Cookies also provide us with information and statistics about how our website is performing, which allows us to make improvements and ensure the reliability of our service.

Essential cookies are automatically loaded onto your device, and consent is not requested for their use. You can block the use of essential cookies through your browser settings or delete them from your device. However, if you block essential cookies, you may not be able to use our website and services without disruption.

These cookies are used to analyze website usage and load performance, as well as to track user behavior on the site. The purpose is to identify issues on the website and improve its usability and the discoverability of information.

Additionally, analytics collect data on how visitors found our website and when they arrived. The service providers used for this purpose are Microsoft, Stape, and Google Analytics.

Advertising-related cookies collect information about visitors for various social media platforms (LinkedIn, TikTok, Facebook) and Microsoft Bing to enable marketing and advertising targeting based on the user's website behavior. To support this targeting, data is collected about how the website is used, the content browsed, and actions taken on the site, in order to build a recognizable profile of the user.

As part of marketing targeting, data is also collected on web browsing related to the effectiveness of Google Ads campaigns. This occurs when you click on a Google Ads campaign advertisement on our website or elsewhere on the internet — a so-called "click ID" is attached to the browsing session, which identifies the individual who clicked the ad.

If a person who arrives at the website via an ad completes a loan application, the following encrypted information is transmitted to the Google Ads platform: their email address and phone number, the status of the application, the value of the application in euros, and the percentage difference between the applied and granted loan amount. The loan term is also shared.

This data is used to track the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. No such information is exchanged with Google or its advertisers for applicants who do not arrive via an advertisement. If you wish to avoid this analytics tracking, you must access the site directly via www.sortter.fi and start the loan application directly from our own website.

You can find more information about website advertising, for example, through the Your Online Choices website.

You can also manage cookie storage through your browser’s cookie settings. Cookies already stored can be deleted via your browser settings. If you choose not to use cookies, you may not be able to fully utilize all features of the website, but this will not prevent you from accessing and using our website altogether.
