How we use cookies on the Aikido Unlimited site

This cookie policy explains which cookies the Aikido Unlimited website uses, why we use them, and how you can manage your choices. We aim to keep cookie use transparent and limited to what is needed for site functionality, security, and consent-based analytics.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. They help the site remember your choices, keep sessions working, and help us understand how the site is used. We may also use similar technologies, such as local storage, for the same kinds of purposes.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

• Essential cookies: Enable basic functionality, security, and remembering your cookie preferences. These are usually always on.
• Analytics cookies: Analyze website usage and help us improve (only with consent).
• Functional cookies: Enhance user experience, for example with embedded content (only with consent unless the function is essential).

3. Third-Party Cookies

Our website may include cookies from third parties such as analytics or media embed services. These help us understand usage or provide embedded content.

• Google Analytics (analytics): _ga and _ga_* (about 1 year, 1 month, 4 days).
• Spotify (functional): sp_t (1 year) and sp_landing (1 day).

These services are not loaded until you grant consent in the cookie banner. You can also refuse non-essential cookies; the site still works, but some embeds or measurements may be limited.

4. Managing Cookies

You can change your choices at any time using the “Cookie settings” button in the footer. You can also manage or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you remove essential cookies, some features (such as remembering your preferences) may stop working as expected. Depending on your browser, you can also block third-party cookies entirely.

5. Consent and Withdrawal

When you accept analytics or functional cookies, we store your choice so we do not ask on every page load. You can withdraw consent at any time in cookie settings. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

6. Cookie Types in Practice

Session cookies usually disappear when you close the browser. Persistent cookies stay on your device until their set expiry or until you delete them. First-party and third-party cookies differ in whether our site or an embedded service sets them. Analytics helps us see which pages help beginners find training in Tampere and Hyvinkää, but it is not used without consent.

7. Policy Updates

We reserve the right to update this cookie policy when tools, law, or site functionality change. We recommend checking this page from time to time. For material changes, we also aim to inform you via the cookie banner or the site. After an update, you can always review or change your choices again.

8. Contact Us
