3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies and Storage

These technologies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as storing your cookie consent choice and maintaining basic security. They are placed based on our legitimate interest in providing a functional website and do not require prior consent under Finnish electronic communications law.

• cookie_consent (browser local storage) — stores your cookie preference choices, including timestamp (duration: 12 months)

3.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting aggregated, pseudonymous usage data. They are only activated after you have given your explicit consent through our cookie banner.

• Page view tracking — records which pages are visited and approximate time spent
• Traffic source analysis — identifies how visitors arrive at our website (e.g., search engines, referral links)

3.3 Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and to understand how visitors interact with promotional content. They are only activated after you have given your explicit consent.

• Advertising conversion tracking — measures whether visitors complete actions after clicking an advertisement (e.g., Google Ads conversion tags)
• Remarketing measurement — helps us understand engagement with promotional campaigns without identifying you personally

4. Legal Basis for Cookie Use

Under the Finnish Act on Electronic Communications Services (917/2014) and the GDPR, storing or accessing information on your device requires your consent, except where strictly necessary for the transmission of a communication or for providing a service you have explicitly requested.

Strictly necessary cookies and consent storage are used based on our legitimate interest in providing a functional and compliant website. Analytics and marketing cookies require your freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent before being placed on your device, in accordance with GDPR Article 6(1)(a) and Article 7.

We do not use pre-ticked boxes for non-essential cookies. You may refuse non-essential cookies without detriment to your access to the core content of this website.

5. Managing Your Cookie Choices

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by:

• Using the cookie banner that appears when you first visit our website
• Clicking "Cookie Settings" in the cookie banner to adjust individual categories
• Clearing cookies through your browser settings

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

6. Third-Party Cookies and Advertising Partners

When you consent to analytics or marketing cookies, third-party services may set cookies on your device. These providers process data under their own privacy policies. Examples of services that may be used include website analytics platforms and Google Ads conversion measurement tools.

We only enable third-party cookies after you have given consent through our cookie banner. Third-party providers may transfer data outside the EEA; where this occurs, appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses are applied. For more information, see our Privacy Policy.

7. Data Retention

Cookie data is retained according to the duration specified for each cookie type. Consent records are stored for 12 months. Analytics data is retained for up to 26 months before being automatically deleted.

8. Your Rights

Under the GDPR and the Finnish Data Protection Act, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing of, and object to the processing of data collected through cookies. You may withdraw your consent at any time through the cookie banner or by clearing your browser storage. For more information about your rights and how to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman (Tietosuojavaltuutettu), please see our Privacy Policy.

9. Regulatory Guidance

Cookie practices in Finland are supervised by the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency (Traficom) regarding electronic communications rules, and by the Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman regarding personal data processed through cookies. Further guidance is available at traficom.fi and tietosuoja.fi.
