This Cookie Policy explains how Viipuri Cycle Bench uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. They can help a site remember choices, maintain security and understand whether it is working well. We use cookies in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Finnish Data Protection Act (1050/2018) and obtain consent before setting non-essential cookies where required.
Strictly necessary cookies are needed for functions you request, such as remembering your cookie choice, keeping the site secure and balancing technical traffic. They do not require consent where the law allows. Optional analytics or similar technologies are not activated unless you choose Accept in our banner or settings. Declining optional cookies does not prevent you from using the core site.
At present, our website uses only local storage to record the cookie preference you make in the banner. This lets us avoid asking you repeatedly. We do not load advertising pixels or create advertising profiles. If we add an optional analytics provider in future, we will update this policy, identify the provider and ask for consent before it operates.
You can choose Accept optional cookies, Decline optional cookies or revisit this policy at any time. You can also delete or block cookies through browser settings. Browser controls vary by provider and may remove saved preferences or affect other websites. To change the choice stored on this site, clear this site's local storage in your browser, then reload the page.
Some services may process limited technical data such as IP address, browser details and the time of a request to deliver the website safely. This is necessary for hosting and security, not advertising. We retain preference information only for a reasonable period and review it when this policy changes. Suppliers who host the site are bound by appropriate contractual and security obligations.
Cookie consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous where consent is the legal basis. Our banner does not use pre-ticked choices or make optional analytics a condition of access. Selecting Decline means that non-essential technologies remain off. You can withdraw an earlier acceptance as easily as you gave it, by clearing the preference described above. Necessary technologies remain available because they support the website feature you have requested.
Third-party content can sometimes introduce its own storage or tracking. We avoid embedding such content unless there is a clear reason to do so. If we later add maps, video, social feeds, booking systems or analytics that set non-essential cookies, we will provide information about the provider, purpose, applicable duration and any international transfer before asking for consent. You should also review the provider's own privacy information where relevant.
For questions about cookies or data protection, contact [email protected]. You may also raise a concern with the Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman. We will publish material changes to this policy here. Last updated: 20 July 2026.
