Sacharchiv.de uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure the site functions properly, improve your experience, and provide relevant content. This policy explains what cookies are, which categories we use, how you can control them, and how your consent is managed. It applies to all visitors of sacharchiv.de, operated by Sacharchiv Media Ltd. For further information on how we handle personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your actions and preferences (such as login details or language) over a period of time, so you do not have to re-enter them each time you return. Cookies also enable us to analyse how the site is used and to deliver targeted advertising where permitted.
Cookies may be set by Sacharchiv.de (first-party cookies) or by third-party services we integrate (third-party cookies). They can be session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain until they expire or are deleted.
What categories of cookies do we use?
We group cookies into four main categories based on their purpose. Only essential cookies are strictly necessary for the site to function; all others require your consent before we can place them on your device.
Essential cookies: These are required for basic functions such as page navigation, secure login, and remembering your cookie preferences. Without them, the site cannot operate properly. They do not collect information for marketing purposes and are set automatically.
Functional cookies: These enhance performance and personalisation by remembering choices you make, such as your preferred language or region. They may also enable features like embedded videos. Disabling them may affect how the site works for you.
Analytics cookies: We use analytics services (for example, Matomo or similar) to collect anonymous data about how visitors interact with the site – which pages are most popular, how users navigate, and where errors occur. This helps us improve content and usability. All data is aggregated and anonymised where possible.
Advertising and tracking cookies: These cookies are used to deliver relevant advertisements, measure the effectiveness of campaigns, and limit how often you see an ad. They may be set by our advertising partners (such as Google Ad Manager) and can track your activity across different websites. We clearly label sponsored content and affiliate links; see our Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure.
How do we obtain your consent?
When you first visit sacharchiv.de, a cookie banner appears asking you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can choose to accept all, reject all, or customise your preferences via the Cookie Settings button in the banner. Your choice is stored for 12 months, after which you will be prompted again. You may also change your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of every page.
If you decline non-essential cookies, we will only use essential cookies necessary for the site to work. No analytics or advertising cookies will be placed without your consent. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent carried out before the withdrawal.
What you can expect from us
We are committed to transparency and respect for your privacy. Our editorial independence is protected by strict separation between commercial relationships and content decisions, as outlined in our Ownership & Funding page. Likewise, our approach to cookies is built on clear disclosure and user control. We do not use cookies to fabricate data or misrepresent user behaviour, and we never sell personal information. If you have questions about how specific cookies are used, please contact our privacy team.
How can you manage your cookie preferences?
You can review and update your cookie preferences at any time by using the Cookie Settings tool available on every page of our site. This tool allows you to opt in or out of functional, analytics, and advertising cookies individually. Changes take effect immediately on your current browser and device.
Alternatively, most web browsers let you control cookies through their settings – you can block or delete cookies altogether. Please note that disabling all cookies may prevent some features of our site from working correctly. For detailed guidance, visit your browser’s help pages. If you wish to access or delete any personal data associated with cookies, please refer to our Privacy Policy or contact us directly.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy or how we handle your data, please write to our designated privacy contact at privacy@sacharchiv.de. You can also reach our editorial team via our Contact page. For complaints related to data protection, you may contact the relevant supervisory authority in Gibraltar or Malta, depending on the nature of the issue. We will respond to your enquiry within 30 days.
