What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device; some are needed for the site to work, others are used for analytics, advertising, or embedded content.
How I use them
I keep it simple: this site uses two kinds of cookies.
1. Necessary cookies. These make the site function — session handling, login for course members, opt-in form handling, remembering your cookie choice itself. They run without consent because the site does not work without them (legal basis: strictly necessary to provide this site, § 25 Abs. 2 Nr. 2 TDDDG, formerly TTDSG; any associated processing of personal data rests on Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR).
2. Consent-based cookies. Analytics and advertising cookies are blocked until you actively agree via the cookie banner on this site. If you do nothing, or decline, these cookies are not set.
A note on embedded videos. The videos on the public pages run in YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode, and the course videos in the members’ area run with Vimeo’s do-not-track option: no video cookies are set when a page loads. Only if you choose to play a YouTube video may YouTube set cookies of its own at that moment — playing is your request, and those cookies are listed in the list below.
The actual cookies on this site
| Category | Purpose | Provider | Consent basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary (WordPress and plugins) | Site function, member login for the video course, opt-in form handling (Convert Pro), page-builder function (Beaver Builder), storing your cookie choice | This website (WordPress) | Not required — technically necessary |
| Analytics | Measuring visits and how pages are used (Google Analytics 4) | Google Ireland Ltd. / Google LLC (USA) | Your consent via the banner |
| Advertising | Measuring whether Google Ads campaigns lead to sign-ups or purchases; possible remarketing | Google Ireland Ltd. / Google LLC (USA) | Your consent via the banner |
| Embedded video (public pages) | The embedded YouTube videos (the intro videos and the free sample video) run in privacy-enhanced mode: no cookies on page load; YouTube may set cookies when you start playing a video | Google Ireland Ltd. / Google LLC (USA) | Set only on your action — pressing play is your request |
| Embedded video (course members’ area) | The Vimeo-hosted course videos behind the member login run with Vimeo’s do-not-track option, which disables Vimeo’s tracking cookies | Vimeo.com, Inc. (USA) | Not set — do-not-track mode |
| Payment | Fraud prevention and checkout function on Stripe-hosted payment pages when you buy something | Stripe Payments Europe Ltd. / Stripe, Inc. (USA) | Necessary to process a payment you initiate |
The full, automatically-updated list of the individual cookies found on this site — names, durations and descriptions — is shown here:
Those are the cookie categories in use on this site. There is no Facebook pixel, no TikTok tracking, and no ad networks displaying ads on this site.
Some of these providers are based in the USA; details on those data transfers and the safeguards used are in my Privacy Policy.
Your choices
- The banner. When you first visit, the consent manager on this site asks before setting any non-necessary cookie. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time via the cookie-settings link on this site — withdrawal is as easy as consenting.
- Your browser. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. Most of the site will still work; member login for the video course and your saved cookie choice need cookies to function, and YouTube may need its play-time cookies for some player features.
More information
How I handle personal data generally — including your rights under the GDPR and how to exercise them — is set out in the Privacy Policy.
