Last updated: February 16, 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to site operators. This Cookie Policy explains how Digitaltableteur Tmi (FI22264455-2), trading as VertaaUX, uses cookies and similar technologies on vertaaux.ai.
2. Legal Basis
We use cookies in accordance with the EU ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) as implemented in Finnish law (Act on Electronic Communications Services, 917/2014). Essential cookies are placed under the "strictly necessary" exemption. Optional cookies (analytics) are only placed with your explicit consent.
3. Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They do not require consent.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| __Secure-next-auth.session-token | User authentication session | Session |
| __Host-next-auth.csrf-token | CSRF protection for authentication | Session |
| next-auth.callback-url | Redirect URL after authentication | Session |
| vertaaux_cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent preference | 1 year |
4. Optional Analytics Cookies
These cookies are only set if you explicitly opt in via our cookie consent banner. They help us understand how visitors use our website so we can improve the experience.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique users | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics 4 | Maintains session state | 2 years |
If you do not opt in, Google Analytics is never loaded and these cookies are never set. We use Google Consent Mode v2 to ensure analytics scripts respect your preference.
5. Local Storage
In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage for the following purposes:
- vertaaux_cookie_consent_v1 — Stores your detailed cookie consent preferences (JSON format)
- Theme preference — Remembers your light/dark mode choice
Local storage data persists until you clear your browser data or we update the storage key version.
6. Managing Your Preferences
You can change your cookie preferences at any time using the button below. This will clear your current consent and re-display the cookie banner.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies may prevent the website from functioning properly. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions on managing cookies.
7. Third-Party Cookies
We do not use third-party advertising cookies. The only third-party cookies that may be set are Google Analytics cookies (described above), and only when you opt in. Our payment processor (Stripe) may set its own cookies on the Stripe checkout page, which is governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. If we introduce new cookie categories, we will request your consent again.
