1. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work more efficiently, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use pages. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, and scripts that store or access information on your device.
Under the ePrivacy Directive as implemented in Finland and EU member states, storing or accessing information on a user’s terminal equipment often requires consent unless an exception applies (for example, cookies strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user).
2. How we use cookies in general
We use cookies to deliver core functionality, remember your cookie consent choices, maintain security, and—where you opt in—measure aggregate traffic and marketing effectiveness. We aim to minimize data collection and rely on aggregation or pseudonymization where feasible.
3. Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems without breaking core features. They are usually set only in response to actions you take, such as setting privacy preferences, logging in where applicable, or filling forms. Examples include:
- Load balancing and session continuity tokens for stable delivery of pages.
- Security tokens that help prevent cross-site request forgery and abuse.
- Records of your cookie consent decision so the banner does not reappear unnecessarily.
Because these cookies are strictly necessary to provide the online service you request, they are typically exempt from consent requirements under ePrivacy implementations, though you may still block them in your browser at the cost of site functionality.
4. Analytics cookies
If you enable analytics cookies through our banner, we may use them to collect aggregate statistics about page views, navigation paths, approximate geography, device types, and error rates. These insights help us improve content structure and performance. We configure analytics tools to reduce identifiability where possible, such as by IP masking or shortening retention in the analytics platform.
You can withdraw consent for analytics cookies at any time by reopening cookie settings or clearing stored preferences and revisiting the site.
5. Marketing cookies
If you enable marketing cookies, we or our partners may use them to measure advertising effectiveness, attribute visits to campaigns, or support remarketing where we run such programs. Marketing cookies may track you across websites if partners participate in cross-site networks. We only activate these categories after consent unless a narrow statutory exception applies.
6. Storage duration and specific names
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies may remain on your device for a period ranging from a few days to twenty-four months depending on purpose and vendor. Consent logs may be kept longer where required to demonstrate compliance. Exact cookie names and lifetimes may evolve with platform updates; material changes will be reflected in this policy’s review date.
7. Your choices on our site
You can use the cookie banner’s “Accept all,” “Reject,” or “Cookie settings” options. In settings, strictly necessary cookies remain enabled because the site cannot function without them. Analytics and marketing toggles reflect your preferences and are stored in local storage or a necessary cookie as required for the consent tool to operate.
8. Browser and device controls
Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through settings. You can also use private browsing modes to limit persistence. Blocking all cookies may prevent features such as saved consent or shopping cart continuity. Refer to your browser’s help documentation for step-by-step instructions.
9. Updates and contact
We may revise this Cookie Policy when we introduce new tools or legal requirements change. The review date shown at the top indicates when the text was last substantively updated. For questions, contact talk@quiphralprxex.world or write to Yrjönkatu 12, 28100 Pori, Finland.
