1. Introduction
Our website https://www.barformat.de uses cookies and similar technologies only to a limited extent. We use technically necessary storage so that the website works. We only set statistics cookies (Google Analytics 4) if you have given your consent beforehand. We do not use marketing or tracking cookies for advertising.
2. What are cookies and local storage?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. Local storage is a comparable storage area in your browser. Both make it possible to recognise information – such as your choice in the consent banner – on your next visit.
3. Technically necessary storage
This storage is required to implement your choice in the consent banner and your language choice. It appears in the banner as “Functional” and cannot be deselected (Section 25(2) No. 2 TDDDG).
| Name | Type | Purpose | Storage period |
|---|---|---|---|
| bf_consent | Local storage | Stores whether you have accepted or declined statistics and when you made your choice. The information remains in your browser and is not transmitted to us. | 12 months, after which we ask again |
| bf_lang | Local storage | Only set if you choose a language using the DE / EN switch. Stores the chosen language and the time, so that we do not automatically redirect you to the other language version. The information remains in your browser and is not transmitted to us. | 12 months |
The enquiry form does not set any cookies.
4. Statistics (only with your consent)
Google Analytics 4
If you select “Accept” in the consent banner or activate “Statistics”, we load Google Analytics 4 from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. We use the service to understand how our website is used and to improve it. Data may also be transferred to Google LLC in the USA; Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, Section 25(1) TDDDG).

5. Giving, changing or withdrawing consent
You can change your choice or withdraw your consent with effect for the future at any time. When you withdraw consent, we delete the statistics cookies on your device and no longer load Google Analytics.
6. Deleting cookies in your browser
You can delete cookies and local storage at any time via your browser settings and generally restrict the storage of cookies. Please note that we will then ask you for your choice again.
