Under Finnish and EU law, storing or accessing non-essential information on your device requires your prior, freely given, specific, and informed consent.

3. Cookie Categories We Use

These are essential for the website to function and for storing your cookie choice. Under Section 205 of the Finnish Information Society Code, consent is not required for cookies that are strictly necessary to transmit a communication or provide a service you have explicitly requested. Legal basis: legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

4. Cookie Consent and Your Choices

When you first visit our website, a cookie banner is displayed. In compliance with Finnish and EU requirements:

Accept All — Enables analytics and marketing cookies in addition to strictly necessary storage.
Decline — Only strictly necessary cookies and storage remain active. Declining must be as easy as accepting; we do not use cookie walls that block access to the website.
Cookie Settings — Allows granular choice by category. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled because the site cannot function without them.

Consent is voluntary, specific, informed, and unambiguous. Pre-ticked boxes are not used for non-essential cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time by:

Clearing cookies and local storage in your browser settings and revisiting the site;
Contacting us at online@shoulderskne.world to request deletion of consent records.

Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal.
