Cookies & local storage
This website runs on the bare minimum: no tracking, no advertising, no analytics tools and no third-party cookies. We only store what is technically necessary for the site to work.
What we store
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| NEXT_LOCALE | Remembers the language you actively chose (DE/EN) so the site loads in it next time. Only set when you switch the language yourself. | 12 months | Necessary (cookie) |
| cookie-notice-ack | Remembers that you have seen the cookie notice so it doesn’t show again. | persistent | Necessary (localStorage) |
Do I need to consent?
No. Both entries are technically necessary for a feature you trigger yourself (language choice). Under § 25(2) TDDDG (formerly TTDSG) no consent is required; processing relies on our legitimate interest in a working website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). No data is shared with third parties and no behaviour is tracked.
How do I remove them?
You can delete cookies and local storage at any time in your browser settings. The site still works without them — it will simply start again in the default or browser language.
