2. Use of Cookies
Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. They help make the use of our website more convenient, secure, and efficient.
We distinguish between strictly necessary cookies and cookies used for functionality, statistics, and marketing.
When you first visit our website, you can decide via the cookie banner which categories you consent to. Your preferences are stored and can be changed or withdrawn at any time.
Legal basis:
Strictly necessary cookies: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, § 25(2) TTDSG

3. Types of Cookies We Use
a) Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the basic operation and security of the website and cannot be disabled. Examples include:
WordPress session cookies
Login cookies for administrators/editors
Cookies storing your cookie preferences (consent cookies)
Astra theme layout/customizer cookies (e.g., mobile navigation)
These cookies are always active.

b) Functional Cookies
Functional cookies provide enhanced features such as:
Comment functions (saving name/e‑mail in the browser)
Integration of external services (e.g., maps, videos)
Contact forms (e.g., Elementor, WPForms, Contact Form 7)
These cookies are only set with your consent unless they are technically required.

c) Statistics / Analytics Cookies
We use analytics tools to understand website usage and improve our content. Common tools include:
Google Analytics (IP anonymisation enabled)
Jetpack / WordPress.com Stats (if active)
These cookies are only set with your consent.
Data transfers to the USA cannot be excluded.

d) Marketing and Tracking Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver personalised advertisements or track users across websites. Examples (if installed):
Google Ads / Conversion Tracking
Meta Pixel (Facebook)
YouTube tracking cookies (if videos are embedded without the “enhanced privacy mode”)
These cookies are activated only with your consent.
When using such services, data may be transferred to the USA, where an EU‑equivalent level of data protection may not be guaranteed.

4. Consent Management / Opt‑In
Our website uses a cookie consent management tool (e.g., Borlabs Cookie, CookieYes, Complianz) to:
Obtain your consent
Store and document your choices (Art. 7 GDPR)
Ensure that cookies are only set after you have given consent
You can withdraw or modify your consent at any time via:
→ “Change cookie settings” (tool‑specific link or button)

5. Use of External Media and Services
YouTube Videos
Playing embedded YouTube videos may set tracking cookies.
Where possible, we use the YouTube “enhanced privacy mode” to reduce tracking.
Google Webfonts / Local Fonts
The Astra theme loads Google Fonts by default.
To protect your data, we use locally hosted fonts, which prevents connections to Google servers.
If external fonts were to be loaded, they would only be activated after consent.

6. Server Cookies / Hosting Log Files
Our hosting provider may use technically necessary cookies and temporary log files to:
Distribute server load
Maintain website security
Prevent attacks
Server log files typically include IP address, browser type, date/time and are usually retained for 7–14 days.
