Cookie Policy

Notice: This translation is provided for information purposes. Only the German version is legally binding.

This policy explains which cookies and similar technologies are used on sifat.de, for what purposes, how long they remain stored and how you can adjust your consent at any time.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website. They contain information that allows the website to recognise, for example, the consent you have given. In this policy, we collectively refer to cookies and similar technologies such as LocalStorage as “cookies”.

Cookies may be set by us (first-party) or by integrated third-party providers (third-party), either temporarily for a session or persistently with an expiry date.

2. Legal basis & consent

We use technically necessary cookies on the basis of Section 25(2), point 2 of the German Telecommunications and Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG) and our legitimate interest in the secure operation of the website (Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO)). For all other categories (statistics, marketing, external media), we obtain your explicit consent in advance (Section 25(1) TDDDG, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR (DSGVO)).

Your consent is voluntary. You may withdraw it at any time with effect for the future. Rejecting optional cookies does not place you at any disadvantage when using the website.

3. Cookie categories

Necessary: required for basic functionality, security and storing your cookie preferences. Always active.

Statistics: anonymous audience measurement to improve content. Not currently in use.

Marketing: campaign measurement and delivery of relevant content. Not currently in use.

External media: embedded content from third-party providers (e.g. videos). Not currently in use.

5. Third-party providers

We do not currently integrate any third-party services that set cookies. Fonts are loaded locally from our server; no connection is made to Google. Should we use third-party providers in future, this policy will be updated and your consent will be requested in advance.

When you follow external links (e.g. to our division websites or social media channels), the privacy and cookie notices of the respective providers apply.

7. Managing cookies in your browser

You can also view, block or delete cookies and LocalStorage directly in your browser – usually under “Settings › Privacy” or “Website Data”. Instructions are available from the browser providers: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Microsoft Edge.

If you block necessary cookies, the cookie notice may appear again on every visit.

8. Changes to this policy

We update this policy when the technologies used or legal requirements change. The version published here at any given time applies.
