This Cookie Policy describes how ZiraPlay (Yliopistonkatu 31, 3rd Floor, 20100 Turku, Finland) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on ziraplay.com. It complements our Privacy Policy and is provided in accordance with the requirements of the EU ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC as amended by 2009/136/EC), implemented in Finland through the Act on Electronic Communications Services (Laki sähköisen viestinnän palveluista 917/2014), and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit. Cookies allow the website to remember your actions or preferences over time. They serve various purposes, from making the site function correctly to helping understand how visitors interact with the content.
Similar technologies include web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage. Where we refer to "cookies" in this policy, the same principles apply to these related technologies unless otherwise noted.
2. What categories of cookies does ZiraPlay use?
Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the platform to function. Without them, services you request, such as navigating between pages or storing your age verification status, cannot be provided. These cookies are set in response to actions you take that amount to a request for services. They do not require your consent under applicable law, but we inform you of them here in the interest of transparency.
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use ziraplay.com. They collect information in aggregated form about pages visited, time spent on the site, and technical characteristics of visits. This information helps us identify areas for improvement. These cookies are set only with your consent.
Preference cookies allow the platform to remember choices you have made, such as your cookie consent selections, so that you do not need to re-enter them on subsequent visits. These are set only with your consent.
ZiraPlay does not use advertising, targeting, or social media cookies. Because the platform has no commercial payment system, no transaction-related tracking cookies are used.
3. Specific cookies used on ziraplay.com
4. How do we obtain your consent?
When you first visit ziraplay.com, a cookie preference interface is available in the bottom-left corner of the screen. This allows you to review and set your preferences for non-essential cookies before any such cookies are placed. Strictly necessary cookies are placed without consent as they are required for the platform to function.
Your preferences are stored in the zira_consent cookie. You may change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie preferences" link in the bottom-left corner of any page.
Consent is obtained separately for each non-essential cookie category (analytics and preferences). Refusing one category does not affect your ability to use the platform or refuse another.
5. How can you manage or delete cookies?
In addition to using the ZiraPlay cookie preference interface, you can manage cookies through your browser settings. All major browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect the functioning of the platform.
Guidance for managing cookies in common browsers:
Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Site Data
Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions
You can also opt out of analytics tracking by adjusting your browser settings to block analytics cookies or by withdrawing consent through the ZiraPlay preference interface.
6. Third-party cookies
Where ZiraPlay embeds third-party content (such as a Google Maps iframe on the contact page), the third party may set its own cookies subject to their own privacy and cookie policies. ZiraPlay does not control these third-party cookies. We recommend reviewing the cookie policies of any third-party services embedded on pages you visit.

7. Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes or as legal requirements evolve. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this document indicates the most recent revision. If we make significant changes, we will update the preference interface to invite you to review and re-confirm your choices. Continuing to use ziraplay.com after an update indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
