Cookie Policy

Last Updated: March 18, 2026

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the website owners.

How we use cookies

IT KRIEBBELS uses cookies in a very limited way, respecting your privacy. We only use:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation, language preferences, and theme selection. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.

Cookie Name Purpose Duration
theme_preference Remembers your dark/light mode preference 1 year
jekyll_language Stores your language preference 1 year

Analytics

For website analytics, we use Simple Analytics, which does not use cookies and respects your privacy. Unlike traditional analytics tools:

  • Simple Analytics does not use cookies
  • Does not track users across websites
  • Does not collect any personal data
  • Is fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and PECR

This means you can browse our website without any tracking cookies being set. For more information about Simple Analytics, please visit Simple Analytics’ Data & Ownership page.

Third-party services

hCaptcha

We use hCaptcha on our contact form to prevent spam. hCaptcha is a European alternative to reCAPTCHA that respects your privacy. To learn more about hCaptcha’s privacy practices, please visit hCaptcha’s Privacy Policy.

Formspree

Our contact form uses Formspree, a GDPR-compliant form processing service. Formspree processes the data you submit through our contact form. To learn more about how Formspree handles your data, please visit Formspree’s Privacy Policy.

Managing cookies

Most web browsers allow you to manage your cookie preferences. You can:

  • Delete cookies from your device
  • Block cookies by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse all or some cookies
  • Set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie

Please note that if you choose to block all cookies (including essential cookies), you may not be able to access all or parts of our website.

How to manage cookies in different browsers

Do Not Track

Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. We honor Do Not Track signals and do not track, plant cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not Track browser mechanism is in place.

GDPR and Your Privacy Rights

Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to:

  • Be informed about how your data is used
  • Access your personal data
  • Correct inaccurate data
  • Delete your data
  • Restrict processing of your data
  • Object to data processing
  • Be notified if there is a data breach affecting your information

Because we use minimal cookies that don’t collect personal information, and our analytics solution is cookie-less and privacy-focused, your rights under GDPR are already respected when using our website.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Cookie Policy on this page and updating the “Last Updated” date.
