This Cookie Policy explains how Karinja Oy (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at karinja.ai. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we process personal data.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences and understand how you interact with the site.

Similar technologies include browser local storage, session storage, pixels, and scripts that read information from your device. In this policy, “cookies” covers all of these technologies.

Cookies can be:

First-party, set by the website you are visiting, or third-party, set by another service whose content appears on that website
Session cookies, deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them

2. Legal basis

We use cookies in line with the Finnish Act on Electronic Communications Services (917/2014), which implements the EU ePrivacy Directive, and the GDPR where cookies involve personal data.

Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent, because they are needed to provide the website you have requested.
All other cookies, including analytics and functional cookies, are only used with your prior consent.

3. Cookies we currently use

As of the effective date of this policy, our website does not set any cookies or use similar technologies on your device. We do not load third-party analytics, advertising, or social media scripts, and our fonts and other assets are served from our own website.

Our website is hosted by Cloudflare, which processes technical data such as IP addresses to deliver the website and protect it against attacks. Where needed for security, Cloudflare may set strictly necessary cookies that help distinguish legitimate visitors from malicious traffic. These cookies do not identify you and are not used for analytics or advertising.

Before we start using any other cookies, we will update this section with a list of each cookie, its provider, purpose, and duration, and we will ask for your consent where required.

4. Types of cookies we may use

4.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic features such as page navigation, security, and access to secure areas. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.

4.2 Analytics cookies

With your consent, we may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. This helps us improve our website and services. Analytics data is collected in aggregate form.

4.3 Functional cookies

With your consent, these cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or region) and provide enhanced, more personalized features.

We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

Where consent is required, we will ask for it through a cookie notice when you first visit our website, before any non-essential cookies are set. You can accept or reject non-essential cookies, and rejecting them is as easy as accepting them.

You can withdraw or change your consent at any time through the cookie settings on our website or by deleting cookies in your browser. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing before the withdrawal. We will ask you to renew your consent at least every 12 months.

6. Third-party cookies

Some cookies may be set by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control these third-party cookies. Please refer to the respective third-party privacy policies for more information.

7. Managing cookies

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

View what cookies are stored and delete them individually
Block third-party cookies
Block cookies from particular sites
Block all cookies
Delete all cookies when you close your browser

Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may impact your experience on our website and limit the functionality we can offer.

8. How long cookies last

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a set period, which we will state for each cookie in section 3. We keep each cookie only for as long as is necessary for its purpose.

9. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track

We treat a Global Privacy Control signal sent by your browser as a request to opt out of the sale and sharing of personal information and of non-essential cookies for that browser.

Because there is no common industry standard for “Do Not Track” signals, our website does not respond to them. Our website does not use cookies to track you across other websites.

10. California residents

We do not use cookies to sell personal information or to share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, as those terms are defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act. For more information about your California privacy rights, see section 14 of our Privacy Policy.

We may update this Cookie Policy at any time, for example when we change the cookies we use or when applicable law changes.

When we update this Cookie Policy, we will publish the new version on this page, update the effective date at the top, and record the change in the changelog.

New cookies: before we start using a new non-essential cookie, we will update section 3 and ask for your consent.
Material changes: if we make other changes that materially affect you, we will give you reasonable advance notice, for example through a prominent notice on our website.
Other changes: changes that do not materially affect you, such as clarifications or formatting, take effect when we publish them.

Previous versions are summarized in the changelog, and you can request a copy of any previous version by contacting us.
