Data Protection & Cookies: This website uses cookies. If you continue to use the website, you agree to the use of cookies.
The standard option offers a simple, straightforward choice for users who wish to proceed quickly.
Your cookie banner must contain a clear link to the detailed Privacy Policy. This is legally required and allows users to fully inform themselves about data processing.
The link to the Cookie Policy should be prominently placed and clearly identifiable as such. Use descriptive link texts such as "Cookie Policy" or "Further Information".
Consent can be acquired in various ways. Modern cookie banners offer flexible options to optimise the user experience whilst remaining legally compliant, as processed by https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Consent is acquired after the user has actively clicked the "Accept" button. This is the most legally secure method and complies with the GDPR's opt-in principle.
Consent can also be acquired after the user has scrolled down the page. This method interprets active continued use as implicit consent.
After a defined period of 30 seconds, consent is automatically considered granted if the user has not actively rejected the banner.
The banner is immediately dismissed after the user clicks the "Close and Accept" button.
If scroll-based consent is activated, the banner automatically disappears once the user scrolls down.
With time-based consent, the banner is automatically dismissed after the defined period.
The granted cookie consent remains valid for a period of 180 days https://automattic.com/privacy/. After this period, the cookie banner will be displayed to the user again, and new consent must be obtained.
This regulation ensures that users are regularly informed about cookie usage and can adjust their settings if required. The 180-day period corresponds to common recommendations for cookie consent management.
After the expiry of the period, all stored consents are automatically deleted, and the user starts with a "clean state" without previous cookie preferences.
Duration of stored consent
Automatic re-evaluation after expiry
Avoid legal jargon and complicated phrasing. Users should understand at a glance what is involved and what options they have.
The banner should be easy to read without excessively impairing website use. Use sufficient contrast and appropriate font sizes.
Ensure that the cookie banner is optimally displayed on mobile devices too and that all buttons are easily accessible.
Log all consents with a timestamp and saved settings. This is important for the burden of proof according to GDPR. https://automattic.com/privacy/
