Cookie policy
We use cookies to ensure the website works properly and - with your consent - to analyse how it is used. Below we explain what cookies are and how you can manage your consent.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device while you use the website. They may contain information about your preferences or the device used. We do not collect IP or MAC addresses by means of cookies.
2. Types of cookies
We use session cookies (deleted when you close the browser) and persistent cookies (stored for a defined period). By origin we distinguish our own (first-party) cookies and third-party cookies (e.g. Google).
3. Categories of cookies used
Necessary cookies are required for the website to work properly and cannot be disabled from within the service. Analytics cookies are disabled by default and are activated only after you give your consent. The table below lists the specific files.
The consent panel also offers a marketing cookies category (e.g. remarketing, campaign performance measurement). We currently do not use marketing tools and do not store such files - we will activate this consent only after deploying such tools and solely after your acceptance.
4. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 for traffic analysis. The tool loads only after you consent to analytics cookies (Google Consent Mode), and data is processed in aggregated form. You can withdraw consent at any time in the “Cookie settings” panel.
5. Managing consent
On your first visit we display a banner where you can accept all cookies, reject the optional ones, or customise your choice. You can change your decision at any time using the “Cookie settings” link in the footer. You can also delete and block cookies in your browser settings.
We store your choice in a cookie (labtech_consent) and an anonymous consent identifier in browser storage (localStorage, labtech_consent_id). Every decision - granting, changing or withdrawing consent - is saved in a consent record to demonstrate accountability; see the Privacy Policy for details.
