Why there is no cookie banner

Finnish rules on cookies (Act on Electronic Communications Services 917/2014, section 205, and the Traficom guidance of 1 September 2021) allow a site to store data on your device without asking only when that storage is strictly necessary for a service you asked for. Everything else — analytics cookies, advertising pixels, tracking across sites — needs your active consent, and refusing must be as easy as accepting.

This site keeps to the first category only. We set no cookies of our own. Page-view statistics are collected by Cloudflare Web Analytics, which works without cookies and without fingerprinting your device. There is no Google Analytics, no Meta pixel, no embedded video, no third-party fonts or scripts. That is why you see no banner: there is nothing to consent to.

Swipe the table sideways on a phone.

Table checked against the site's code on 26 September 2026. If a new tool is ever added that stores data on your device for a purpose that is not strictly necessary, we will add a banner with two equal buttons — "Accept all" and "Only necessary" — before that tool is switched on, and this table will be updated.

Language, forms and the calculator

We do not store your language choice. The language is part of the address: pages under /en/ are English, pages under /ru/ are Russian. There is no automatic redirect by location or browser settings — you choose the language from the menu, and the site remembers nothing about it.

The calculator runs in your browser and sends nothing to us. The forms send data only when you press the button, over an encrypted connection, and the reply from our server carries instructions to store nothing and to keep the response out of search engines. What happens to the data you send is described in the Privacy notice.

Advertising and links from other sites

When we advertise — for example in Facebook groups — we place a campaign tag (UTM) in the link so that we can count how many profiles come from which campaign. The tag is part of the address you clicked and is recorded with your profile only if you send one. It is not a cookie and does not follow you to other sites. No advertising network places a pixel or a cookie on this site.

Common questions

How do I remove what the site stored in my browser?

Close the tab — the calculation snapshot is session storage and disappears on its own. You can also clear site data in your browser settings at any time; nothing on the site depends on it.

Do you know who I am when I use the calculator?

No. The calculator needs no name, e-mail or registration, and the statistics we receive are aggregated page views without cookies or fingerprinting.

Will this change?

Only openly. Any tool that would store data on your device for a purpose that is not strictly necessary gets a consent banner with equal "Accept all" and "Only necessary" buttons before it is switched on, and this table is updated with the new row.
