Cookie Notice

1. Strictly Necessary Cookies and Storage (Essential)

Strictly necessary storage technologies are essential for the operation, authentication, and security of the SaaS platform. Pursuant to § 25(2) No. 2 TDDDG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, these do not require prior user consent:

• Authentication & Security Storage: Session tokens and authentication keys managed via Amazon Cognito to verify your identity and maintain secure sign-in states.
• Locale & Language Preference (ade_locale): Stores your preferred interface language (English or German) across page visits.

2. Operational & First-Party Usage Telemetry (Consent-Independent)

To ensure platform stability, prevent abuse, diagnose technical errors, and understand aggregated product and marketing-page reach, AdsDoneEasy records strictly limited first-party events independently of marketing consent.

Operational telemetry logs error codes, latency, and route names linked exclusively to a one-way hashed account pseudonym. First-party website usage records allowlisted public page views and visible engagement using a temporary tab-session id in sessionStorage (SHA-256 hashed server-side; rotates after 30 minutes of inactivity). Neither path sets persistent tracking cookies nor loads third-party marketing tags.

3. Optional Analytics & Measurement (Consent-Gated)

Optional third-party website analytics stay off by default. Measurement and advertising storage activate only if you choose “Accept analytics” in our cookie banner:

• Google Tag Manager & Google Analytics 4 (GA4): Deployed in Advanced Consent Mode. The GTM container may load with Consent Mode default denied so the site is recognized as tagged; cookies and analytics/ads measurement stay inactive until affirmative consent. Measures aggregated traffic sources and marketing performance after opt-in.
• Marketing attribution (ade_attribution): Stores first-touch UTM campaign parameters for seven days so trial signup can attribute the original marketing link. Set only after you choose “Accept analytics”. No third-party ad cookies.

4. Managing and Revoking Cookie Preferences

You can modify or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time using the persistent “Cookie settings” link in the footer of our website.

Regional notice: Visitors whose network location indicates the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland see our cookie banner on first visit because local law requires prior opt-in for optional analytics. Visitors from other regions (for example the United States) are not prompted on first visit; optional analytics remain off until you opt in through Cookie settings. Hosting in AWS eu-central-1 does not determine which standard applies — your location and our service targeting do.
