Advertising on our Services:

Advertising - / Affiliate links:

The content of our websites and digital products may contain so-called advertising - / affiliate links, through which the Company may receive commissions or other benefits.

Advertising - / Affiliate links are clearly marked with a * in front of the link and/or the words '*Includes an advertising - / affiliate link' ['*Sisältää mainos- / affiliate-linkin'] or 'Commercial collaboration: X' ['Kaupallinen yhteistyö: X'] in connection with the relevant content.

The content of our websites, our social media channels or our newsletters may recommend products, items and services, as well as offer benefits or discounts in cooperation with selected partners.

Commercial cooperation & Other benefits received:

The Company makes commercial cooperations and enters into partnerships that suit its values, channel themes and audiences.

Commercial cooperation means the content that the Company produces based on an agreement with a advertiser. Company receives compensation in the form of money or a cash-equivalent benefit. Cases where content production has been agreed between the Company and another party without a fee or an equivalent economic benefit are also interpreted as Commercial cooperation. The content to be produced can be a blog post, an article, an Instagram post, a YouTube video, or the like, where information can be provided, experiences shared, a product, destination or service evaluated, or the like. Benefits or discounts may also be offered to the followers as part of commercial cooperation.

Other benefits received can be for example product samples, sponsored goods and services, invitations, press trips and commissions from affiliate links. The difference with Commercial cooperation is that no content production has been agreed between the Company and another party. The Company has received the benefits without obligation. However, if the Company voluntarily produces content from these benefits into its channels, the benefits obtained must be disclosed.

We label openly about Commercial cooperation and Other benefits we receive in all channels to which we produce content related to the cooperation or benefit, in connection with the relevant content. We clearly mark Commercial collaborations at the beginning of the content using wording 'Commercial collaboration' ['Kaupallinen yhteistyö'] and the name of the another party responsible for the marketing.

We clearly state the Other benefits we have received, for example by using the words '*Product/Service gifted/sponsored' ['*Tuote/Palvelu saatu/sponsoroitu'] or '*Includes an advertising - / affiliate link' ['*Sisältää mainos-/affiliatelinkin'].

Our websites, content, products and services (including free ones), social media communications and newsletters may recommend or promote products, items and services, even without Commercial cooperation or Other benefits received.

Third-party Advertising:

Third-party advertising may also appear on the Services. The Company is not responsible for the provision of third-party products, services, or material, data or other content generated by third-party.

We use cookies. By continuing to use our website, we'll assume you're agreeing to our use of cookies. To find out more see our Privacy Policy.
