Cookie policy

This policy describes storage technologies on the public website craftbase.de. The controller is Craftbase GmbH, Schorndorfer Straße 137, 71638 Ludwigsburg, Germany. Privacy enquiries may be sent to the general support address.

The application at app.craftbase.de, mobile applications, and linked external services are separate usage contexts. Their access and storage technologies are distinct from a visit to the public website. The Privacy Policy explains purposes, legal bases, recipients, deletion, and your rights in relation to personal data.

Cookies are information that a service stores or accesses on a device through the browser. They can enable sessions or remember settings. Session cookies are usually removed at the end of the browser session; persistent cookies have a specified lifetime.

Local Storage keeps values in the browser without automatic expiry. Session Storage is generally tied to the relevant page session. Other technologies include IndexedDB, pixels, device identifiers, and comparable access to device information. This explanation does not mean the website uses every technology listed.

Storing or accessing information on a device is governed by section 25 of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG), even if the information itself is not personal data. Whether Craftbase or a third party supplies the technology does not alone determine whether consent is needed.

Under section 25(2) TDDDG, consent is not required where the operation serves only to transmit a communication or is strictly necessary to provide a digital service explicitly requested by the user. This exception concerns the specific purpose and scope, not every technology labelled functional or security-related.

Other consent-dependent access may occur only after informed, voluntary, and active consent. Continued browsing, scrolling, or simply allowing cookies in a browser does not replace it. Subsequent processing of personal data also requires a GDPR legal basis; the Privacy Policy provides further details.

The public website currently activates no optional analytics or marketing trackers. No cookie banner or consent-management platform is integrated; the website therefore currently offers no consent selection for such trackers.

The theme entry described below is used for your selected display mode. Technically necessary connection and access data processed for hosting is distinct from storage in the browser. The Privacy Policy explains that processing.

Optional usage analytics, such as Google Analytics, is distinct from this current storage use. Choosing a display mode is not consent to analytics or advertising. The Privacy Policy provides information about optional analytics.

The footer's Appearance control lets you select a light, dark, or system-based view. A changed selection is stored in the browser and considered on later visits. Without a saved selection, the website generally follows your system's display mode.

The stored value contains no individual user identifier. It serves the selected display mode and is not sent by the theme control to a third party as analytics or advertising data.

Registration and sign-in take place at app.craftbase.de. Processing for a user account does not automatically occur when visiting the public website. A link to the application is not an embedded sign-in.

The application uses Firebase Auth for authentication. Depending on platform, session, and the chosen authentication configuration, cookies or other local storage mechanisms may be needed for sign-in, access protection, and session management. Their scope and duration are not the same as the public website's theme entry.

Sign-in does not automatically permit optional analytics, advertising, or session recordings. Consent-dependent features must take account of the relevant web or mobile context and consent granted or withdrawn there. Processing customer data on their behalf is also governed by the DPA.

Demo buttons currently open the external website cal.com. The booking service is not embedded and is accessed only when you open the external link. The operator's cookie and privacy information applies to that external service.

An external service may process its own connection data and use its own storage technologies. These are not part of the theme entry above. Choices and deletion depend on the relevant service and browser settings. A booking alone is not consent to marketing or recording a conversation.

You can change your display preference at any time through the footer's Appearance control. System is also a stored selection, not a deletion command. To remove the entry, use your browser's website-data or storage settings for craftbase.de.

After removal, the next visit generally uses your system's display mode. Deleting or blocking the preference does not prevent access to website content. If browser storage is blocked, the selection may not persist across visits.

In other usage contexts, removing sign-in or session data may require you to sign in again. Clearing browser data is not the same as cancelling a subscription or deleting a Craftbase account.

Where consent has been given for optional functions, withdrawal is possible for the future and must be as easy as giving consent. Clearing local data alone does not automatically withdraw consent from the relevant service. Previously lawful processing is unaffected; the Privacy Policy explains data rights.

This policy is updated when the storage technologies and functions actually used change. The date at the beginning indicates the information's revision, not an effective date for a new contractual version.

Using consent-dependent services requires the necessary information and consent. Publishing an updated policy alone neither enables a function nor replaces consent. The Privacy Policy provides information about personal data and contact routes.
