Version date: 16 Jan 2026
This policy supplements the privacy policy for the craftifact.com website and informs you about the use of cookies and comparable technologies.
It meets the requirements of Section 25 TTDSG and – where personal data is involved – the GDPR.
1. Scope
This policy applies exclusively to the craftifact.com website (Craftifact marketing website).
It supplements the privacy policy for craftifact.com and describes solely the use of cookies and comparable technologies on this website.
Further information on the processing of personal data can be found in the privacy policy at:

2. What are cookies and comparable technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored on the user’s device by a website.
In addition, other technologies may be used to store or read information in the browser, e.g., local storage.
On craftifact.com, only local storage is used. Other comparable technologies (e.g., fingerprinting or tracking techniques) are not used.
3. Legal bases
Storing information on the end device or accessing information stored there generally requires consent unless a statutory exception applies.
For technically necessary operations, consent may be omitted if they are strictly necessary to provide a digital service expressly requested by the user (Section 25(2) TTDSG).
Where personal data is processed in connection with device information, the GDPR also applies. The legal basis depends on the specific purpose of processing (e.g., Art. 6(1)(b) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
4. Cookies on craftifact.com
On craftifact.com, no cookies are used for tracking, marketing, or analytics.
No technically necessary session cookies are used for login or authentication purposes because this domain does not provide a login or user account function.
5. Local storage (theme setting)
To store the user’s selected display (e.g., light or dark mode), local storage is used in the browser.
In doing so:
- no cookies are set,
- no personal data is transmitted to third parties,
- no cross‑site tracking occurs.
Purpose:
Remembering the selected theme setting for correct and consistent display of the website.
Legal basis:
Section 25(2) No. 2 TTDSG, as the storage is necessary to provide the display expressly requested by the user.
Retention period:
Until the user manually deletes local storage in the browser.
6. Cookie notice / consent banner
A cookie or consent banner is currently not required for craftifact.com because no consent‑requiring cookies or tracking technologies are used.
If analytics, marketing, or other consent‑requiring technologies are introduced in the future, appropriate consent will be obtained in advance and this policy will be updated.
7. Management and deletion
Users can delete or restrict cookies and local storage data at any time via their browser settings.
Please note that this may remove certain convenience features (e.g., remembering the theme setting).
8. Updates to this policy
This policy is reviewed regularly and updated when technologies used or legal requirements change.
