COOKIES

Last updated: 6. April 2026

This page describes how Das Werk uses cookies and similar technologies on www.daswerk.org (the “Website”).

Austria: Rules on cookies and similar technologies in Austria are shaped by EU law (notably the ePrivacy Directive, implemented nationally) and the GDPR, together with Austrian statutes such as the TKG. This page is a transparency summary; it does not replace legal advice.

For more information on how we process personal data in general, please see our PRIVACY POLICY.

1. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include, for example, local storage in your browser, which can store small amounts of data to remember preferences or improve how a page works on repeat visits.

2. How we use them on this Website

We keep the use of cookies and similar storage minimal. In particular:

2.1 Strictly necessary / functional (as applicable)

Some features of the Website may rely on technologies that are necessary to deliver the service you request (for example, security-related processing performed by our hosting provider when you load a page).

2.2 Local storage (start page experience)

On the home page, we may use browser local storage to remember that a full-screen introductory animation has recently been completed. This helps avoid repeating the same animation when you return shortly afterwards. The value is stored only in your browser on your device; we do not use it to track you across other websites.

You can delete this data at any time via your browser settings (clear site data / local storage for this Website).

2.3 Web analytics (Vercel Web Analytics)

We use Vercel Web Analytics to collect aggregated statistics about how the Website is used (for example, page views). According to Vercel’s documentation, Vercel Web Analytics does not use third-party cookies for this purpose. For further details, see: VERCEL – PRIVACY AND COMPLIANCE (WEB ANALYTICS).

3. What we do not use (current configuration)

As of the date at the top of this page, we do not deploy:

  • Advertising or behavioural marketing cookies
  • Social media pixels for remarketing
  • Third-party embedded trackers that set non-essential cookies for analytics or ads

If we introduce such technologies in the future, we will update this page and, where required by law, obtain your consent before they are activated.

4. Managing cookies and storage in your browser

Most browsers let you:

  • View which cookies and site data are stored
  • Delete cookies and site data for individual websites or all sites
  • Block third-party cookies or all cookies

Please refer to your browser’s help section for instructions. Note that blocking all cookies can affect how some websites function.
