What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners.
Cookies are not harmful programs — they cannot execute code or deliver viruses. They simply store small amounts of data that help the website function correctly and personalise your experience.
In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also called "pixel tags"), local storage, and session storage. All references to "cookies" in this policy include these similar technologies unless stated otherwise.
When you first visit Klicktreff, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner. Your choices are stored and respected throughout your session. You can update your preferences at any time through our Cookie Settings tool in your account settings.
