Cookie Policy

The legally binding version of this page is the German one: Cookies

This policy transparently explains how Barbreshift handles information stored on your end device. We prioritize data minimization and strict adherence to European data protection standards.

Key Points at a Glance:
  • We do not use traditional HTTP cookies.
  • We only use your browser's localStorage to save your consent preferences.
  • No tracking or marketing data is collected without your explicit consent.
  • You can change your selection at any time via the button in the website footer.

1. Type of Technologies Used

Unlike many other websites, Barbreshift avoids the use of cookies. Instead, we utilize localStorage. This is a feature of modern web browsers that allows us to store small amounts of data locally on your device, ensuring that this information does not need to be sent to our server with every single page request.

This technology is used exclusively to ensure the basic functionality of the site and to respect your privacy settings in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

2. List of Stored Data

The following table lists all local storage entries currently used on barbreshift.click:

Name Provider Purpose Category Duration
brsh-consent Barbreshift Storage of cookie consent settings Necessary 180 Days

3. Data Storage Categories

In our consent banner, we distinguish between five categories. Currently, only data from the first category is utilized:

  • Necessary: Technically essential for the operation of the site (e.g., storing consent). These cannot be deactivated.
  • Functional: Improve the user experience (currently inactive).
  • Analytics: Help us understand website usage (currently inactive).
  • Marketing: Used for personalized advertising (currently inactive).
  • Personalization: Adapt content to your preferences (currently inactive).

4. Management and Withdrawal

You have full control over which data is stored locally. Since we only use necessary data, the core functionality of the site remains intact even if you clear your browser's local storage.

To change your settings for non-necessary categories (should they be implemented in the future), please use the following button:

Alternatively, you can delete all local data via your web browser settings (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari). Further details regarding the handling of your data can be found in our Terms and Conditions.

5. Legal Basis and Supervision

This policy is based on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR/DSGVO), the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG), and § 165 Para. 3 of the Telecommunications Act 2021 (TKG 2021). We also comply with the Consumer Protection Act (KSchG) and the Distance and Off-Premises Contracts Act (FAGG).
