    Cookie Policy

    Last updated: 2026-08-28

    This policy explains which cookies and similar technologies (local storage) are used on this website, why, and how you control them. It applies alongside our Privacy Policy and implements § 25 TDDDG and Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

    1. What we use today

    This website currently uses strictly necessary storage only. We run no analytics, no advertising pixels, no social media widgets, no A/B testing and no cross-site tracking. Nothing is stored on your device for those purposes.

    2. Strictly necessary storage (no consent required)

    essence-language — stores your chosen website language so pages are shown in that language. Local storage, persistent until you clear it.

    essence-cookie-consent — stores your consent decision and its date, so we do not ask you again on each visit and so we can demonstrate compliance. Local storage, retained for 12 months.

    Session/security data held by our hosting provider to deliver the page and prevent abuse.

    Legal basis: § 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG (strictly necessary to deliver the service you requested) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

    3. Optional categories (consent required)

    Statistics/analytics: measurement of visits and page performance. Currently not in use. If introduced, these will only load after you switch this category on.

    Marketing: remarketing and campaign measurement. Currently not in use. If introduced, these will only load after you switch this category on.

    Non-essential cookies are switched off by default. Refusing them has no effect on your access to the website or to medical care.

    4. How to give, refuse and withdraw consent

    When you first visit, a banner lets you accept all optional categories, refuse all of them with an equally prominent button, or open the settings and choose per category.

    You can change or withdraw your decision at any time via the “Cookie settings” link in the footer. Withdrawal is as easy as giving consent and takes effect immediately for the future.

    5. Browser controls

    You can also block or delete cookies and local storage in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary storage may mean your language preference and consent choice are not remembered.
