Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. They cannot run programs or transmit viruses. Many websites use cookies to recognise visitors, store settings or analyse usage.
2. Our principle: as few cookies as possible
kompass-security.de deliberately works without marketing cookies and without tracking cookies. Our visitor statistics are completely cookieless and anonymous. We ourselves only use the small number of cookies that are technically necessary for the website to function securely.
One exception: our homepage embeds a map from Google Maps to show our location. When this map is displayed, Google may set its own cookies. Details can be found in our privacy policy and at policies.google.com/privacy.
3. Cookies used on this website
| Name | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| PHPSESSID | Session cookie for the secure operation of the contact form (CSRF protection). | Technically necessary | Until the browser is closed |
| ks_consent | Stores that you have acknowledged the cookie notice, so the banner is not shown again. | Technically necessary | 12 months |
| ks_no_track | Stores your objection to the anonymous visitor statistics (opt-out). Only set if you object. | Technically necessary (opt-out) | 12 months |
4. Legal basis
Technically necessary cookies are used on the basis of § 25 (2) No. 2 TDDDG (storage strictly necessary to provide the service expressly requested by the user) and Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Because we do not use any cookies requiring consent, no consent banner with accept/reject choices is legally required, we still inform you transparently via our cookie notice.
5. Managing cookies
You can manage your preferences at any time on the cookie settings page. In addition, you can configure your browser to inform you when cookies are set, to allow cookies only in individual cases, to refuse cookies generally, or to delete them automatically when the browser is closed. Please note that deactivating the session cookie may limit the functionality of the contact form.
