Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Byte-Hosting uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website (https://byte-hosting.eu). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work (or work more efficiently), securely manage user sessions, and provide reporting information.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies (such as analytics) enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance their experience on our website.
Your Consent and the TDDDG
Under the German Telecommunications-Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG § 25), we are permitted to store cookies on your device without your prior consent only if they are technically strictly necessary for the provision of our service. For all other types of cookies (Preference, Analytical, and Marketing), we require your explicit, prior consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR).
When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a Consent Banner allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" button at the bottom of our website.
