5. Managing Your Preferences

When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or configure your preferences by category. Rejecting non-essential cookies means analytics and marketing technologies will not be activated during that visit.

You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage for this site and revisiting the page, or by contacting us directly. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Most web browsers also allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to block or delete cookies, though this may affect website functionality.

6. Legal Basis

Strictly necessary cookies and similar storage are used based on our legitimate interest in providing a functional and secure website, and where applicable to store your consent record as required by law.

Analytics and marketing cookies are placed only after you give explicit, freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent, in accordance with:

  • Article 5(3) of Directive 2002/58/EC (ePrivacy Directive), as implemented in Finland through the Information Society Code (917/2014);
  • Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and the Finnish Data Protection Act (1050/2018);
  • the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), where applicable.

Non-essential cookies are not activated until you choose "Accept All" or enable the relevant category and save your choice. You may withdraw consent at any time without detriment, as described in Section 5.

7. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be set by third-party services that we use only after you provide consent, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, or other advertising platforms. These third parties act as separate controllers or processors and have their own privacy policies governing how they use your data. We recommend reviewing the Google Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy and the Meta Privacy Policy where applicable.

8. Data Retention

Cookie consent records are stored for 12 months. Individual cookie durations are listed in Section 4 above. After expiry, cookies are automatically removed from your device unless you revisit the site and consent again.

9. Your Rights

You have the right to withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time. You also have rights regarding personal data collected through cookies, as described in our Privacy Policy. To exercise these rights, contact us at help@beamvrfloraau.world.
