This Cookie Policy explains how Sachindex Media Ltd., the publisher of Sachindex (sachindex.de), uses cookies and similar technologies on its website. It describes the categories of cookies we use, how you can control them, and your rights regarding your personal data. For full details on how we handle personal information, please see our Privacy Policy.
Who is responsible for cookies on Sachindex?
Sachindex Media Ltd., a private company registered in Gibraltar (company number C 92009, Malta Business Registry), is the data controller responsible for cookies on sachindex.de. Our registered office is Office 9, Business Centre, Valletta, 0000. The site is operated by an independent Swedish editorial team led by Chefredaktör Daniel Winter. Any data protection queries should be addressed to privacy@sachindex.de.
As the publisher, we determine the purposes and means of processing personal data collected via cookies. Our commercial and editorial operations are transparent: you can read about our ownership and funding and our advertising and affiliate disclosure. This policy forms part of our broader commitment to user privacy and data protection.
What types of cookies does Sachindex use?
We use four categories of cookies: strictly necessary, functional, analytics, and advertising or tracking cookies. Each serves a specific purpose in making our site work or improving your experience. The table below outlines each category and its typical use.
- Strictly necessary cookies – essential for the basic operation of the website, such as enabling secure logins, session management, and remembering your cookie consent choices. They cannot be disabled through our settings.
- Functional cookies – remember your preferences (e.g., language, font size) and enhance usability but are not strictly required for the site to function.
- Analytics cookies – collect aggregated, anonymised data about how visitors use the site, which pages are most popular, and where errors occur. We use services such as Google Analytics for this purpose.
- Advertising and tracking cookies – used to deliver personalised advertisements, measure the effectiveness of campaigns, and track affiliate links. These cookies are only placed with your explicit consent.
We may also allow third-party providers to set cookies for analytics and advertising. Each third party operates under its own privacy and cookie policies.
How can you manage your cookie preferences?
You can adjust your cookie preferences at any time through our Cookie Settings panel, accessible via the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of every page. This panel allows you to enable or disable non-essential cookies individually by category. When you first visit Sachindex, a cookie banner asks for your consent before any non-essential cookies are placed. You can change your choice later using the same panel, and your preferences will be saved for future sessions. Disabling non-essential cookies will not affect the basic functionality of the site, and you may also configure your browser to block or delete cookies entirely. For further help, please contact us or email privacy@sachindex.de.
Do we use third-party cookies?
Yes, we allow some third-party providers to set cookies when you use our site. These providers include analytics services, advertising networks, and social media platforms. For example, Google Analytics collects aggregated usage data, and our advertising partners may place cookies to deliver relevant ads based on your browsing behaviour. Each third party controls the data it collects and uses; we encourage you to review their cookie policies. We only work with partners that comply with applicable data protection laws. Details about our commercial relationships can be found in our ownership and funding statement.
How do we handle consent for non-essential cookies?
We obtain your explicit, informed consent before placing any cookies that are not strictly necessary. This consent is captured via our cookie banner and can be withdrawn at any time through the Cookie Settings panel. We record your consent decision for compliance purposes. You have the right to refuse non-essential cookies without losing access to our content – we do not employ cookie walls that block the site entirely if you decline. Withdrawing consent will stop the relevant cookies from being set in the future, though it may not delete data already collected. For more details on your rights, see our Privacy Policy.
