2. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide information to the website owner, and to improve user experience. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by us) or "third-party" (set by another domain, e.g. an analytics or advertising provider).

Similar technologies include local storage (e.g. HTML5 local storage), session storage, pixel tags, and other identifiers that can store or access information on your device. In this policy, when we refer to "cookies" we may also be referring to these similar technologies where they are used for similar purposes.

Cookies can be classified by:

• Duration: "Session" cookies are deleted when you close your browser; "persistent" cookies remain for a set period or until you delete them.
• Purpose: strictly necessary (essential for the website to function), functional (e.g. preferences), analytics (to understand how the site is used), and marketing (e.g. advertising or retargeting).

3. Legal basis for using cookies

Under the ePrivacy Directive (as implemented in EU member states) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we must have a valid legal basis to place non-essential cookies on your device:

• Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent because they are essential for the operation of the Website (e.g. security, load balancing, remembering your cookie preferences). Our use of these cookies is based on our legitimate interest in providing a secure and functional website.
• Analytics, functional and marketing cookies require your consent where they involve the processing of personal data. We will only use such cookies after you have given your consent via our cookie banner or cookie settings. You may withdraw your consent at any time by changing your preferences or clearing cookies.

4. Cookies we use

We use the following categories of cookies on the Website:

4.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website to function. They enable basic features such as page navigation, secure areas, and remembering your cookie consent choices. You cannot opt out of these cookies without affecting how the site works.

• Cookie consent / preference storage: Stores your cookie preferences (e.g. accepted, rejected, or custom settings). Duration: as set when you make your choice (e.g. 12 months). First-party.
• Security / session: Used to maintain your session and help protect against cross-site request forgery or similar. Duration: session or short-term. First-party.

4.2 Analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Website (e.g. number of visitors, pages viewed, traffic sources). We use this information to improve the Website. Analytics cookies are only placed if you have given your consent. The data may be processed in aggregate form and may be shared with our service providers under strict data processing agreements.

• Analytics identifier: Identifies your visit for statistical purposes. Duration: typically up to 24 months. May be first-party or third-party depending on the tool used.

4.3 Marketing cookies

These cookies may be used to deliver relevant advertisements, measure the effectiveness of campaigns, or to show you content based on your interests. They are only placed if you have given your consent. You can withdraw consent at any time via our cookie settings.

• Marketing / advertising identifier: Used for ad targeting or conversion measurement. Duration: as set by the relevant provider (e.g. 30–90 days). Usually third-party.

5. Retention of cookie data

Cookie retention depends on the type of cookie:

• Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies are stored for the period indicated in the table above or in the cookie itself (e.g. 12 months for consent preferences).
• Data derived from cookies (e.g. analytics reports) may be retained in accordance with our Privacy Policy and our legal obligations.

6. Third-party cookies and links

Some cookies may be set by third-party services that appear on our Website (e.g. embedded content, analytics or advertising partners). We do not control these third parties' use of cookies. Their use is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to read those policies when you follow links to other websites or when third-party content is loaded.

7. How to manage your preferences

You can manage or withdraw your consent for non-essential cookies in the following ways:

• Cookie banner and Cookie settings: When you first visit the Website, you can choose "Accept all", "Reject", or "Cookie settings" to customise which categories (e.g. analytics, marketing) you allow. You can change these settings at any time by clicking "Cookie settings" in the cookie banner if it is shown again, or by visiting this Cookie Policy page and using any preference link we provide.
• Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings. You can usually find these under "Privacy", "Options" or "Settings". Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of the Website and your user experience.
• Device settings: On mobile devices, you may be able to manage tracking in your device settings (e.g. "Limit Ad Tracking" on iOS or "Opt out of Ads Personalisation" on Android).

For more information on how to manage cookies in your browser, see the help section of your browser (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).

8. Your rights

Where cookie-related data constitutes personal data under the GDPR, you have the rights described in our Privacy Policy, including the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, object, and to data portability where applicable. You also have the right to withdraw consent at any time and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (e.g. the Finnish Data Protection Ombudsman).

9. Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the cookies we use, or legal requirements.
