Cookie policy

This policy describes what Chalkaholics stores on your device. It supplements the privacy policy, which explains the remaining processing.

This is a translation of the German original. In case of doubt, the German version is the authoritative one.

In short

This website stores nothing on your device: no cookies, no entries in localStorage, nothing comparable. That is also why there is no cookie notice asking for your consent.

What is a cookie — and what is localStorage?

A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device and automatically sends back to the server on every further request.

localStorage is also a store in the browser, but it is not sent automatically. It stays on your device until it is specifically read or deleted.

Legally the two are treated the same: § 165(3) of the Austrian Telecommunications Act applies to both, and both require consent unless they are strictly necessary for the service you requested.

What about audience measurement?

Visits are counted with Umami on our own server. Umami works without cookies and without storage on your device: several visits are counted together using an encrypted identifier that is created on the server and changes every month. The details are in the privacy policy.

What we deliberately do not use

• No advertising cookies. No advertising is shown on this website, and there is no tracking across other websites.
• No Google reCAPTCHA. The spam protection on the forms manages without it and therefore transfers no data to third parties.
• No fonts from external servers. The Archivo typeface is downloaded at build time and served from our own server. Loading the page creates no connection to Google Fonts.
• No embedded videos or maps that would send data to third parties on load.
• No Google Analytics and no other measurement services from external providers.

Deleting via the browser

If entries from this website remain in your browser from earlier visits, you can remove them at any time. In common browsers the settings are found under terms such as "Clear browsing data", "Cookies and site data" or "Site settings".
