Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, phone, tablet) during your visit. Cookies are used to enable the operation of the website, improve user experience, and analyse how the site is used.

The use of cookies is governed by the EU ePrivacy Directive (Article 5(3)) and the Finnish Information Society Code (917/2014, §205).

2. Strictly necessary cookies

All cookies we use are strictly necessary for the operation of the service. They enable basic functions such as login and session management. These cookies do not require separate consent under §205 of the Information Society Code and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive, because they are technically necessary to provide the service.

3. Third-party cookies

Our service uses the Clerk authentication service to manage user sign-in. Cookies set by Clerk are necessary for the operation of the service. For more information about Clerk's privacy practices, see clerk.com/legal/privacy.

4. Analytics and marketing cookies

We do not use analytics cookies, marketing cookies, or third-party tracking cookies. If we introduce analytics or marketing cookies in the future, we will request separate, voluntary consent before placing them.

Giving and withdrawing consent will be equally easy — the "Reject all" button will be displayed as prominently as the "Accept all" button, in line with decisions 5845/2024 and 5846/2024 of the Helsinki Administrative Court.

5. Consent management

Because we use only cookies that are strictly necessary for the service to function, no separate cookie-consent banner is required. If our cookie set expands, we will deploy a consent-management tool that:

• Requests consent before placing any non-essential cookies
• Offers equally weighted "Accept" and "Reject" options
• Allows consent to be withdrawn at any time
• Stores consent records for 5 years
• Does not use pre-ticked boxes

6. Browser cookie settings

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect the functioning of the service. Instructions for the most common browsers:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Settings → Privacy → Cookies and website data
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies

7. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We will update this Cookie Policy as needed, for example when we introduce new cookies or change the purposes of existing ones. Material changes will be communicated on our website.
