Cookie Policy

Effective date: Thursday, 14 May 2026

Cookies and similar technologies help this site remember consent, protect forms, and—only when you allow—measure how people move between articles. This policy unpacks each category, typical lifetimes, and what happens if you turn categories off.

What we mean by “cookies”

In the broad sense used here, the term covers HTTP cookies, HTML local storage entries with a similar purpose, and service worker caches that store static assets to speed up repeat visits. We only treat technologies as optional extras when privacy law expects consent for their non-essential use.

First-party means our domain sets the entry. Third-party means another provider’s script sets it during your session; we list those only when we deliberately integrate them after your consent for analytics or marketing measurement.

Who decides

The controller responsible for configuring this site’s consent tool is Detoxificationli at Aleksanterinkatu 13, 15110 Lahti, Finland. Operational questions about a specific tag often involve co-responsibility with a vendor; we document major partners in procurement files available on request.

Categories in plain language

Strictly necessary

Security tokens, load balancing cues, consent receipts, and session continuity without which interactive features would fail unpredictably. These do not carry optional advertising signals.

Analytics

Aggregated visit patterns, scroll depth bins, or anonymised navigation funnels to improve readability. We favour aggregate dashboards over raw behavioural dossiers.

Marketing

Attribution codes that connect informational campaigns to landing views, only where permitted and proportionate to the budget under review.

Functional extras

Optional conveniences such as remembering a font-size toggle if we ship that component later; they stay off unless you enable them distinctly.

When you reject optional categories, scripts gated behind the consent layer should remain dormant. Because browsers differ, we periodically verify using internal tests that no deferred tag fires early.

Managing through the browser

Browsers increasingly ship with global blocking settings or “do-not-track” flags. Those tools may interfere with necessary storage and hide parts of the consent interface. If a page misbehaves after aggressive blocking, temporarily allow session storage for this host or contact us for a manual alternative such as email enrollment outside the web flow.

Incognito windows start with empty storage each session; expect prompts to return unless you accept again during that session.

Typical duration

Session technologies expire when you close the browser unless a longer lifetime is essential for fraud prevention. Persistent preference tokens aim for twelve months or less unless a longer period is justified for audit continuity; vendors publish their own defaults where they apply.

A shorter automatic purge is preferable to indefinite hoarding. If you believe residual IDs linger too long, notify us with a screenshot of the relevant storage panel where possible.

Changes and references

We amend this page when toolchains shift or regulators clarify electronic communications interpretation. Material changes may reset the consent version string and trigger a fresh banner appearance even if prior acceptance exists.
