1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, remember preferences, and— with your consent— understand how visitors interact with the site.
2. How We Use Cookies
German SEO Services uses cookies in three categories:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They include:
- germanseo-cookie-consent — Stores your cookie preference choice (essential only or accept all). Duration: 12 months. Provider: German SEO Services.
Analytics Cookies (Consent Required)
With your consent, we may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our website. This helps us improve content and user experience. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized where possible.
Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality such as remembering form preferences. They are only set with your consent.
3. Cookie Consent
When you first visit germanseo.services, a cookie consent banner appears at the bottom of the screen. You can choose to accept all cookies or allow essential cookies only. Your choice is stored locally and respected on subsequent visits.
You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site, or by contacting us at hello@germanseo.services.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Our contact form is processed through Formspree, which may set its own cookies during form submission. Google Fonts are loaded to display typography; Google may collect usage data under their own privacy policy. We minimize third-party cookie usage and only integrate services that align with GDPR requirements.
5. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through settings:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and Site Permissions
Blocking all cookies may affect website functionality, particularly the consent preference storage.
6. Legal Basis
Essential cookies are processed based on legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) as they are strictly necessary for website operation. Analytics and functional cookies require your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) under the ePrivacy Directive and TDDDG.
7. Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy as our website evolves or regulations change. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
