5. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
The SelkoTili website does not set any third-party cookies. Anthropic, Resend, or other sub-processors do NOT communicate directly with your browser — all data flows through the SelkoTili server.

7. CONSENT MECHANISM
When you arrive on the site, a COOKIE CONSENT BANNER is displayed, requiring an active choice:
• "Accept all" — allows all essential cookies
• "Essential only" — same effect (we use only essential cookies, no optional ones)
You cannot use the SelkoTili service without consenting to essential cookies (legal requirement for authentication).

8. CHANGES TO THIS COOKIE POLICY
If we add analytics or other non-essential cookies in the future, we will request separate, prospective consent, revocable at any time (GDPR Art. 7(3)).
