Cookie Policy

Last updated: January 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Paperplaydabbl Oy ("we", "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on paperplaydabbl.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device, remember preferences, and collect aggregated usage data. Similar technologies — such as pixels, web beacons, local storage, and SDKs — work in comparable ways and are covered by this policy.

2. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies to:

  • Operate essential website functions (security, sessions, language).
  • Remember your preferences (cookie consent, region, accessibility settings).
  • Measure how visitors find and use the site so we can improve performance.
  • Deliver relevant marketing communications, where you have consented.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

Required for the website to function. These cannot be disabled in our system.

  • ppd_session — maintains your session. Duration: session.
  • ppd_consent — records your cookie preferences. Duration: 12 months.

3.3 Analytics Cookies (optional)

  • ppd_utm — internal campaign attribution. Duration: 30 days.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by trusted third parties when you interact with their content embedded on our site (for example, map providers or video players). These providers are independent controllers of the data collected via their cookies. We list our current third parties below; their own privacy policies apply.

  • Google LLC — analytics & maps.
  • Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. — advertising pixel (only with consent).
  • LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company — advertising insight (only with consent).
  • Vimeo Inc. — embedded video playback.

5. Legal Basis

Strictly necessary cookies are placed on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a secure, functional website. All other cookies are set only after you give explicit, freely-given, informed consent through our cookie banner, in line with the EU ePrivacy Directive and the GDPR.

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You are in control. You can:

  • Adjust your preferences anytime via the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer (where available) or by clearing cookies and reloading the site to re-trigger the banner.
  • Block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, manage, and remove cookies for any website you visit.
  • Opt out of Google Analytics by installing the official browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
  • Use industry opt-out tools such as youronlinechoices.eu (EU) for advertising cookies.

Disabling certain cookies may affect functionality — for example, your language preference will not be remembered between visits.

7. Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because there is no industry consensus on how to honour DNT, we currently do not respond to it; instead, we offer granular consent controls described above.

8. Mobile Identifiers & Local Storage

If you use a mobile device, we may use local storage, IndexedDB, or similar technologies to cache data and improve performance. These follow the same consent rules as cookies.

9. Data Generated by Cookies

Information collected via cookies (IP addresses, device identifiers, behaviour data) is treated as personal data when it can be linked to an identifiable person. Its handling is governed by our Privacy Policy.

10. Children

We do not knowingly use cookies to track children under 16. Where applicable, parental consent is required.

11. Updates to This Policy

We review and update this Cookie Policy whenever we add or remove cookies, change vendors, or when the law requires us to. The "Last updated" date reflects the most recent revision.
