Cookie Policy

The legally binding version is the German one at Cookies

This policy explains transparently how we store information on your end device. We prioritize a lean technical approach and the protection of your privacy in accordance with current EU and Austrian standards.

Key points at a glance:
  • We do not use traditional HTTP cookies.
  • We only use your browser's localStorage to save your consent settings.
  • No tracking pixels or third-party cookies are used for marketing purposes.
  • You can change your selection at any time using the button in the website footer.

1. Definition and Technical Approach

Unlike many other websites, Bearcatdock avoids the use of cookies. Instead, we utilize the Web Storage API (specifically localStorage). Technically, this is a method of storing data locally in the user's browser without that data being sent with every server request, as is the case with cookies.

This approach reduces network load and increases security, as no session IDs need to be transmitted over the network unless explicitly required for a specific function.

2. List of Stored Data

We store exclusively information that is strictly necessary for the operation of the website and the implementation of your privacy preferences.

Name Provider Purpose Category Duration
brct-consent Bearcatdock Storage of consent settings Necessary 180 Days

3. Data Storage Categories

In our cookie banner, you will find five categories to control your privacy. Currently, only the necessary functions are utilized:

  • Necessary: These are essential for the operation of the site (e.g., storing your refusal of other categories).
  • Functional: Not currently in use.
  • Analysis: Not currently in use.
  • Marketing: Not currently in use.
  • Personalization: Not currently in use.

Should we integrate optional services in the future, we will update this list and request your consent again, as described in our Privacy Policy.

4. Management and Withdrawal

You have full control over which data is stored locally. You can delete stored information at any time by clearing your browser's cache or application data.

To change your settings directly on our website, please use the following button, which re-opens the settings menu:

5. Legal Basis and Supervision

The processing of your data is based on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR/DSGVO), the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG), and in accordance with § 165 Para. 3 of the Telecommunications Act 2021 (TKG 2021).

We also comply with the provisions of the Consumer Protection Act (KSchG) and the Distance and Off-Premises Contracts Act (FAGG). Responsibility for compliance with these guidelines lies with Bearcatdock GmbH, Landstraße 142, 4020 Linz, represented by Julia Schmid (Share Capital: 35,000 €).
