Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which categories we use on vitalink-atls-education.de and how you can change your consent at any time. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. They enable core functionality, help with security and — with your consent — analytics and marketing. We use both session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (with a fixed lifetime). Comparable technologies such as LocalStorage and pixels are treated the same way.
2. Legal basis
Strictly necessary cookies are set on the basis of § 25(2) TTDSG / Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Optional categories (analytics, marketing) are only set with your explicit consent under § 25(1) TTDSG and Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time — this does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
3. Categories
3.1 Strictly necessary (always active)
Required for login, security, payment processing, language preference and to store your cookie consent. Without these cookies the site will not work reliably.
vl_cookie_consent— stores your cookie choice (LocalStorage, persists until revoked).sb-*— authentication tokens (session).__stripe_*— payment fraud prevention (Stripe, up to 1 year).
3.2 Analytics (optional)
Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve content and performance. Set only after your consent. We use Google Consent Mode v2: without consent no identifying cookies are set.
3.3 Marketing (optional)
Used to make ads more relevant and measure campaign performance, e.g. TikTok Pixel. Loaded only after you have given consent.
4. Manage consent
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time — via the button above, the “Cookie settings” link in the footer, or by clearing the vl_cookie_consent entry in your browser.
5. Third parties & data transfers
Third-party providers (e.g. Google, TikTok, Stripe) may transfer data to third countries. Transfers to the US are based on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or EU Standard Contractual Clauses. Details and recipient lists are available in our Privacy Policy.
