Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Tonsuavari ("we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on tonsuavari.com (the "Site") and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. We rely on the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK GDPR when setting non-essential cookies, which means we ask for your consent before they are placed on your device.

1. What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies allow a site to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time. We also use comparable technologies such as local storage, pixels and tracking parameters appended to outbound links; where this policy refers to "cookies" it includes those technologies.

2. Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary

• tonsuavari-cookie-consent — local storage entry that records your consent choice so the banner is not shown on every page. Retention: 12 months or until you clear your browser storage.
• Security and load-balancing cookies set by our hosting provider for the duration of your session.

These are set without consent because the Site cannot function properly without them.

Analytics / performance

• Aggregated page-view and scroll-depth measurement so we can see which articles are read and where readers stop. Retention: up to 14 months.
• Error and performance monitoring, which records anonymised technical data such as browser version and page load time.

Advertising and affiliate attribution

• Click identifiers appended to the outbound links to the retailer, so that a purchase can be attributed to this Site and a commission paid. Retention: typically 7–30 days, set by the retailer or affiliate network.
• Advertising platform cookies (for example those used for conversion measurement and remarketing audiences) where you have consented.

3. Third parties

Some cookies are set by third parties whose services appear on or are linked from the Site, including our analytics provider, our advertising partners and the retailer that fulfils orders. We do not control those cookies; please consult the relevant third party's own cookie and privacy notices. Following an outbound link takes you to a website operated by a third party where this policy no longer applies.

4. Managing your choices

When you first visit the Site you can accept all cookies or choose essential cookies only. To change your decision later, clear the site data for tonsuavari.com in your browser and reload the page — the consent banner will appear again. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings (Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox all provide controls under Privacy or Settings), and enable "Do Not Track" or Global Privacy Control signals, which we honour where technically possible.

Blocking analytics or advertising cookies does not affect the content you can read. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause parts of the Site, including the consent banner itself, to behave unexpectedly.

5. Changes and contact

We review this policy whenever we add or remove a technology and at least once a year. Material changes are notified by re-displaying the consent banner. Questions can be sent to [email protected].
