What types of cookies do we use?
We use four categories of cookies: strictly necessary, functional, analytics, and advertising. Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the site to function and cannot be disabled. Functional cookies remember your preferences, such as language or region. Analytics cookies help us understand how readers use the site, and advertising cookies are used to deliver relevant sponsored content and measure its performance. All non-essential cookies require your consent.
How do we obtain your consent for non-essential cookies?
When you first visit hauptfokus.de, a Cookie Settings banner appears, asking you to accept or decline each non-essential cookie category. You may also customise your choices before confirming. Your consent is stored for 12 months, after which you will be prompted again. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of every page. We do not set non-essential cookies until you have given explicit consent.
How can you manage your cookie preferences?
You can adjust your cookie preferences at any time using the Cookie Settings mechanism, accessible from the footer of every page. Your choices are stored locally in your browser. For more detailed information about how we process personal data collected via cookies, please read our Privacy Policy at /about-us/privacy-policy/. If you have questions or wish to exercise your data rights, email privacy@hauptfokus.de. You may also contact us through the complaints procedure outlined at /complaints-procedure/.

These cookies are subject to the respective third party’s privacy policies.
