Cookie Policy
This cookie policy explains how and to what extent we use cookies and similar technologies on this website. It supplements our Privacy Policy and specifically addresses the storage of information on your device and access to such information.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They can serve various purposes: some are technically necessary, others are used for analytics or marketing.
2. Which types of cookies do we use?
- Essential cookies – required for the basic operation of the website (e.g. login, security, session handling, storing your cookie choices). Without these cookies, the service cannot be provided.
- Functional cookies – enhance convenience and user experience, for example by remembering language preferences or display options.
- Analytics cookies – help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve content, performance, and usability.
- Marketing cookies – allow us or partners to show personalized content or advertisements. These are only used with your explicit consent.
3. Which cookies do we currently set?
The exact set of cookies may change as we further develop our service. At present, we mainly use:
- Session / login cookies (essential) – used to keep you logged in and to provide access to your account and content.
- Cookie consent cookie (essential) – stores whether and to what extent you agreed to the use of non-essential cookies. This allows us to respect your choice and avoid showing the banner on every visit.
As soon as we add additional analytics or marketing tools, this policy will be updated accordingly and your consent will be obtained via the cookie banner before such cookies become active.
4. Legal basis
Essential cookies are stored based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (for providing contract-related features such as login and account access) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in operating a technically correct and secure website), in conjunction with the applicable ePrivacy rules (e.g. national laws such as the German TTDSG).
Non-essential cookies (analytics, marketing, convenience features) are only set with your consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and the applicable ePrivacy legislation.
5. How can you change your cookie preferences?
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by:
- Using your account page under “My Account > Privacy & cookies” to adjust your cookie settings.
- Deleting or blocking cookies in your browser settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies may limit the availability of certain features on our website.
6. Further information
