What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser so it can remember things between page loads — preferences, session state, analytics counters. Closely related technologies include local storage, session storage and IndexedDB, which browsers also use to persist data on your device. This page covers all of them under the common label "cookies".
The honest summary
Cookie categories we do (and don't) use
Strictly necessary · ✔ used
These are essential for the Site to load and function. No consent is required for them under GDPR/ePrivacy because without them the Site simply would not work.
Functional · ✔ used (local-only)
A minimal amount of browser local storage may be used to remember whether you've dismissed a UI element on this Site during your visit. This never leaves your device and is not transmitted anywhere.
Analytics · ✔ used (minimal)
We load one third-party analytics script from techturm.de. Its job is to count page visits, referrers, device class and approximate location so we can see which content is actually useful. The script loads asynchronously after the page becomes interactive and any data it collects is processed by techturm.de as an independent controller under their own privacy terms.
We do not run Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Hotjar, Clarity or any other consumer-profiling analytics product. If we ever add another analytics or measurement vendor, this page will be updated before the change ships.
Advertising / marketing · ✘ not used
None. We do not run retargeting pixels, ad networks or audience lists. Our only monetisation is affiliate referral commissions from CSDROP when you sign up through our link, and that tracking happens on CSDROP's side, not ours.

Do Not Track
We honour "Do Not Track" requests by default because we don't run any tracking the signal could disable. Nothing to turn off, by design.
