Cookie Policy
Information about how DanubeData uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. Learn about cookie types, purposes, and how to manage your preferences.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us provide you with a better experience by remembering your preferences and analyzing how you use our services.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
2.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off.
- Authentication: Keep you logged in to your account
- Security: Protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF)
- Session Management: Maintain your session state
2.2 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization.
- Preferences: Remember your settings and choices
- Language: Store your preferred language
- Theme: Remember dark/light mode preference
2.3 Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website.
- Usage Analytics: Track pages visited and time spent
- Performance: Monitor website performance and errors
- A/B Testing: Test different versions of pages
2.4 Marketing Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver relevant advertisements (only with your consent).
- Targeting: Deliver personalized ads
- Retargeting: Show relevant ads on other websites
- Conversion Tracking: Measure ad effectiveness
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services we use:
- Stripe: Payment processing and fraud prevention
- Google Analytics: Website analytics, only when you allow analytics cookies (if enabled).
- Google Ads: Advertising measurement and, separately, personalized advertising, only with the corresponding consent (if enabled).
- Reddit: Advertising measurement, only when you allow advertising measurement (if enabled).
Google and Reddit may receive usage information when you enable their categories. Read how Google uses data (opens in a new tab) and Reddit's privacy policy (opens in a new tab). DanubeData's own infrastructure is hosted on Hetzner; we do not use Cloudflare or another third-party CDN/security proxy in front of our services.
4. Cookie Lifespan
Session Cookies
These cookies are temporary and deleted when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies and preferences
Your privacy choice is kept for 180 days. Authentication lifetimes depend on the session and sign-in settings. Optional provider cookies have their own lifetimes, determined by the provider and the active tag configuration; the consent preference lifetime is separate from the lifetime of those cookies.
5. Managing Cookies
5.1 Browser Settings
You can control cookies through your browser settings:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies
- Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies
- Edge: Settings → Privacy → Cookies
5.2 Your privacy choices
Choose analytics, advertising measurement, and personalized advertising separately. All optional categories are off until you agree. Accepting or rejecting optional cookies is available in one step. Closing preferences or continuing to browse does not grant consent.
Reopen Cookie settings at any time to change or withdraw consent. Withdrawing an enabled category reloads the page to stop previously loaded trackers and removes known, accessible cookies for that category. We cannot remove cookies stored on a provider's own domain; use your browser settings to remove those.
We remember acceptance and refusal for 180 days in this browser, using local storage and an essential preference cookie. The cookie also lets our server check your advertising choice before saving campaign attribution. Your stored choice includes the categories, the notice version, the time you saved it, and its expiry. We ask again when it expires or the notice version changes. If browser storage is unavailable, the choice applies to the current page and may need to be made again on a future visit.
5.3 Essential services
Rejecting optional cookies does not prevent you from browsing, signing in, or using DanubeData. Cookies required for authentication, security, or a payment you request are separate from optional analytics and advertising.
6. Local Storage
In addition to cookies, we use HTML5 local storage for:
- Caching data to improve performance
- Storing temporary application state
- Remembering your privacy choices in
gtm_consentfor 180 days - Campaign attribution in
utm_tracking, only with advertising measurement consent
7. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" feature. While we respect your privacy choices, we do not currently respond to Do Not Track signals as there is no industry standard.
8. Cookies and browser storage
