1. Overview
This Cookie Policy explains how RattleStork UG (limited liability) (“RattleStork”, “we”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you use rattlestork.org (the “Website”). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and what options you have. To the extent personal data are processed in this context, our Privacy Policy also applies.
Legal bases: Storing information on your device or accessing it is governed by § 25 TTDSG. The subsequent processing of personal data is subject to Articles 6 et seq. of the GDPR.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. First-party cookies come from us; third-party cookies come from external services (for example, analytics or advertising providers). In addition to traditional cookies, comparable technologies may also be used (for example, Local Storage, pixels, beacons).
3. Why we use cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential: Providing the Website, security, session management. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR; § 25(2) No. 2 TTDSG.
- Analytics and customization: Audience measurement, error diagnosis, usability improvements. Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; § 25(1) TTDSG).
- Marketing (where enabled): Measuring campaign success. Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; § 25(1) TTDSG).
We only use non-essential technologies if you have given prior consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time; it will take effect going forward.
4. How to control cookies
Use our consent manager (“Cookie settings” in the banner or footer) to enable/disable categories or to withdraw your consent. Essential cookies cannot be turned off because they are strictly necessary for the requested functions.
Additionally, you can delete or block cookies in your browser. This may restrict functionality. 'Do Not Track' signals are not uniformly supported across browsers; therefore, your settings in the consent manager will be authoritative.
