Cookie and storage policy

This English page is a convenience translation. The German Cookie-Richtlinie is authoritative.

1. Consent model

Essential storage is active to provide security, authentication and remember your privacy choice. Analytics and marketing storage are off by default and use separate toggles. The Analytics toggle controls both GA4 and Beatseeker D1 analytics. Global Privacy Control is treated as refusal for all optional categories.

2. Change or withdraw

Use Cookie settings in the footer at any time. Analytics withdrawal prevents new analytics events and removes accessible GA and Beatseeker analytics identifiers. Marketing withdrawal denies advertising storage and personalization. It does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

3. Storage registry

The registry below is generated from the same source used by the consent interface and includes website cookies plus material extension local-storage entries.
