Cookie Policy
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit it. Some cookies are required for the website to function; others help us understand how visitors use the site or remember your preferences. This page lists the cookies used on sales-art-and-science.com.
2. How We Use Cookies and Your Consent
Where cookies are not strictly necessary to operate this website, we only set them with your prior consent, in accordance with § 25(1) TDDDG (Telekommunikation-Digitale-Dienste-Datenschutzgesetz) and Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. We manage consent through CCM19, a consent management platform operated by Papoo Software & Media GmbH (Germany), running in [automatic/manual — confirm mode] blocking mode. You can give, decline, or withdraw consent at any time via the CCM19 banner, accessible from the cookie settings link in the footer of this website.
For the full legal basis and details on each processing activity, see our Data Privacy page.
3. Cookies Used on This Website
3.1 Strictly Necessary
These cookies are required for the website’s basic functionality and consent management. They do not require consent under § 25(2) TDDDG.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
ccm_consent | CCM19 (Papoo Software & Media GmbH) | Stores your cookie consent choices so the banner isn’t shown again unnecessarily. | 1 year / 365 days |
| cf_clearance | Cloudflare, Inc. | Used by Cloudflare Turnstile to confirm the contact form submission is from a human, not a bot. | Session / up to 30 days |
| wordpress_test_cookie | This website (WordPress core) | Checks whether cookies are enabled in your browser. | Session |
3.2 Statistics / Analytics
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website. They are only set after you consent via the CCM19 banner.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics (Google Ireland Limited), via Site Kit by Google — tag GT-TQKCTHL9 | Distinguishes unique visitors by assigning a randomly generated ID. | 2 years |
| _ga_[container-id] | Google Analytics (Google Ireland Limited) | Used by Google Analytics 4 to persist session state. | 2 years |
3.3 Fonts (not a cookie, disclosed for completeness)
This site currently loads two web fonts (JetBrains Mono and Archivo) directly from Google’s font servers (fonts.googleapis.com) rather than hosting them locally. This doesn’t set a cookie, but it does transmit your IP address to Google Ireland Limited on page load. Depending on how this is configured, it may occur before you’ve made a cookie choice. See our Data Privacy page, Section 7, for details — this is flagged there as an item worth fixing by self-hosting the fonts.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time via the CCM19 banner, accessible from the cookie settings link in the footer of this website. You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings; note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites.
5. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies and technologies we use, or to applicable law. The current version, as published on this page, applies.
