Cookie Policy

Last updated: September 2026

​

1. What are cookies?

​

Our website deutschstart-online.de uses cookies and similar technologies.

Cookies are small files or pieces of information that can be stored on or read from the visitor's device. Among other things, they make it possible to provide a website technically, save settings or analyse the use of a website.

Not all cookies serve the same purpose. Some are technically necessary for the operation of the website, while others may be used, for example, for statistics, convenience or marketing.

​

2. Which cookies does Deutsch Start use?

​

We generally distinguish between the following categories:

​

2.1 Technically necessary cookies

​

These cookies and similar technologies are required for certain functions of our website to work properly.

They may be required, for example, for the following purposes:

  • Technical provision of the website

  • Login and customer account

  • Security

  • Saving settings

  • Shopping cart and order functions

  • Provision of expressly requested digital functions.

Under the statutory conditions, no prior consent is required for technologies that are strictly technically necessary.

​

2.2 Functional cookies

​

Functional cookies can be used to enable certain settings and convenience functions.

For example, language settings or certain preferences can be saved this way.

Insofar as these technologies are not strictly technically necessary, they are only used after corresponding consent has been given.

​

2.3 Analytics and statistics technologies

​

We may use technologies that allow us to understand how visitors use our website.

For example, information may be collected about:

  • which pages are visited,

  • how long visitors stay on certain pages,

  • which functions are used,

  • how often certain pages are accessed.

Where required by law, such technologies are only used after the visitor has given consent.

​

2.4 Marketing and tracking technologies

​

Insofar as marketing, advertising or similar tracking technologies are used on deutschstart-online.de, they are only used on the basis of corresponding consent, where such consent is required by law.

Consent is generally required when information is stored on the device or information already stored is read, unless a statutory exception applies.

​

3. Your consent

​

When you first visit our website, a cookie banner may be displayed to you.

There you can make your selection, depending on the technologies actually used.

In particular, you can:

​

  • reject non-essential cookies,

  • consent to certain categories,

  • change your selection later or

  • withdraw consent you have already given.

​

Consent must be given voluntarily and on an informed basis. Among other things, the information must make clear who accesses the device, for what purpose this is done, how long information is stored and whether third parties may gain access.

​

4. Withdrawing and changing your consent

​

You can withdraw consent you have given at any time with effect for the future.

The lawfulness of the processing or access carried out on the basis of your consent up to the time of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

If a corresponding function is available on our website, you can access and change your cookie settings again at any time via the cookie settings.

​

5. Third-party cookies

​

Services from third-party providers may be integrated into our website.

Depending on the functions actually used, these may include, for example, providers for:

​

  • website and hosting functions,

  • videos,

  • payment processing,

  • analytics,

  • communication or

  • other digital functions.

​

If such third-party providers use technologies, information may be stored on or read from the device.

The respective providers may have their own privacy policies and cookie policies.

​

6. Cookies and customer account

​

If you register with Deutsch Start or use a personal area, technically necessary technologies may be required, for example to:

​

  • enable your login,

  • maintain your session,

  • provide your personal area,

  • ensure security functions or

  • provide functions you have expressly requested.

​

Such technically necessary technologies may be used without prior consent under the statutory conditions.

​

7. Storage period

​

Cookies can be stored for different lengths of time.

Some cookies are deleted automatically as soon as you close your browser.

Other cookies may remain stored on your device for a longer period.

The specific storage period depends on the respective technology and its purpose.

​

8. Browser settings

​

You can set your browser so that cookies are restricted, blocked or deleted.

Please note that completely deactivating cookies may mean that certain functions of deutschstart-online.de do not work or only work to a limited extent.

Technically necessary functions in particular may be affected.

​

9. Data protection

​

The use of cookies and similar technologies may involve the processing of personal data.

You can find more information about which personal data Deutsch Start processes, for what purposes and what rights you have in our privacy policy.
