Cookie policy

Legal basis

Use of cookies and similar technologies that are not strictly necessary, and access to information stored on your device, is governed by Section 25 TTDSG in conjunction with the GDPR. Non-essential cookies are only set or triggered after your consent. There is no pre-ticked opt-in for statistics or marketing.

Consent management (theme banner)

If Complianz is not active, this theme shows a banner with “Accept all”, “Decline” and “Settings”; optional statistics (Matomo) load only after consent. You can change settings at any time by clearing site data for this domain or choosing again in the banner.

Essential (strictly necessary — always allowed)

This category covers storage without which the site cannot operate or which ensures security/integrity. Legal basis: Section 25(2) TTDSG in conjunction with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

  • WordPress / session & security: depending on configuration, cookies such as wordpress_*, wp-settings-* or similar technical cookies for logged-in users or security.
  • Language (website): language routing is handled by Polylang URL structure (German default, English under /en/). No custom theme language cookie is used for routing.
  • Complianz (if plugin active): cookies for consent state (names and lifetime per Complianz configuration; typically limited duration for evidence).

Statistics (optional — only after consent)

Matomo (if integrated): after consent, cookies such as _pk_id.*, _pk_ses.* may be set; lifetime depends on Matomo configuration (often months, configurable). Scripts in this category are not loaded before you consent. Legal basis: Section 25(1) TTDSG in conjunction with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Marketing / third-party advertising

Not used on this website.

No optional cookies without consent

Optional cookies or similar technologies are not set and corresponding scripts are not run before you consent in the theme banner. There is no pre-ticked opt-in.

Withdrawal and changing your choice

Cookie settings can be changed at any time by resetting stored consent (browser: delete site data for setuphelfer.de) or choosing “Decline” again in the banner.
