Cookie & Privacy Choices

ankrito.com uses optional cookies for analytics and advertising only if you accept them in the cookie banner. Without your consent, the website sets no cookies for visitors. You can change your choice at any time from “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page.

A cookie is a small piece of information a website can leave on your device so it can recognise your browser later. Websites can also use similar techniques — such as localStorage, sessionStorage or device fingerprinting — for the same purpose. EU and Finnish law treat all of these the same way: storing or reading anything on your device generally needs your consent, unless it is strictly necessary for a service you have asked for.

• Your cookie choice — your browser’s local storage keeps your yes/no answers and the date under the name ankrito-consent, so we don’t ask on every page. It holds nothing else and is never sent to us. After 12 months we ask again.
• Automatic light/dark appearance — ankrito.com matches your device or browser's own light/dark setting using CSS alone. Nothing is stored for this; your device already remembers its own setting.
• A one-time technical clean-up — ankrito.com used to have a manual light/dark switch. That switch is gone, but a short script still checks, once, whether your browser kept the old setting from it, and deletes it if so. It never reads that value, never sends it anywhere, and stores nothing new. Once that leftover setting is gone, there is nothing left for this script to do.
• Ankrito's staff sign-in — the private back office Ankrito staff use to run the business sets a sign-in cookie so a signed-in staff member stays signed in. It exists only for staff who have explicitly signed in there, is never set for a visitor to this public website, and the public website never asks you to accept it.

These tools are switched off until you choose “Accept all” or turn them on under “Settings” in the cookie banner. If you choose “Reject all”, or close the page without choosing, none of them is loaded and none of their cookies is set.

Google Analytics (analytics)

Counts visits and shows which pages are used and how visitors found us. Cookies: _ga and _ga_<ID>, kept up to 13 months. Google Analytics 4 does not store IP addresses; Google signals and ad personalisation are switched off. Provider: Google Ireland Limited, acting for Ankrito; data may be processed in the US under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.

Legal basis: your consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a); Finnish Act on Electronic Communications Services, section 205). Giving consent is voluntary: the website works the same without it.

Choose “Cookie settings” at the bottom of any page to change your choice. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it: when you switch a tool off, we stop loading it and delete its cookies from ankrito.com. Withdrawal does not affect what was collected while consent was in place.

• No analytics or advertising tools other than those listed above.
• No session-recording or heatmap tools — no Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity or similar.
• No CAPTCHA — the Contact and Account Deletion forms are protected on our server, not with a visitor-facing challenge.
• No device fingerprinting or A/B testing.
• No Vercel Analytics and no Vercel Speed Insights.

ankrito.com's typefaces — including the ones that come from Google — are built into the website itself: the font files are downloaded once when the website is built and are then served from ankrito.com. Your browser never connects to Google, or any other font provider, to show this site.

Which language you see is decided only by the address you're on — ankrito.com for English, ankrito.com/fi/… for Finnish. Nothing about that choice is stored on your device; switching language is simply visiting a different address.

Some pages link to a service outside ankrito.com — for example WhatsApp, or Ankrito POS's own sign-in page. Opening one of those is an ordinary link, the same as any link in a search result. Once you leave ankrito.com, that service's own cookies and privacy practices apply, not this page's.

Ankrito also runs a private back office that only Ankrito staff sign in to — a different application from this public website. It needs a sign-in cookie to work, the same way any account-based service does, so a signed-in staff member isn't asked to sign in again on every page. Because that cookie exists purely to keep a signed-in staff member signed in, it needs no consent banner, and it is never set for, or shown to, a visitor of the public website.

If we add or change any optional tool, we update this page and the Privacy Policy first and ask for your consent again.
