Cookies and data protection: How to protect your data properly!
New winter opening times for the Diebesstieg are scheduled for October 30, 2025. As the city of Salzgitter reports in its press release, the times have been adjusted to meet the needs of visitors. The functional cookies on the website play an essential role because they are necessary for the basic functions and cannot be switched off.
But what does this actually mean for users? With the checkbox activated, it is now possible to record user activity using the Matomo statistics tool. This data collection occurs anonymously through text files, also known as cookies. The aim is not to screen users, but to improve the website itself in order to make the visit even more pleasant for everyone.
Data protection in focus
The information collected is stored on the provider's server in Germany. This has some advantages, such as the automated shortening and anonymization of the IP address. It is important to mention that no identifiable usage behavior can be assigned to a specific device. This means that users can surf without worry - their privacy is protected.
Cookies and tracking technologies have long been central elements of the modern Internet, as rechtecheck.de notes. However, they are subject to strict data protection requirements. In Germany, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) regulates the use of cookies and tracking methods. In most cases, user consent is required to legally use these technologies.
- Cookies sind kleine Textdateien, die auf dem Endgerät gespeichert werden.
- Tracking-Technologien verfolgen das Nutzerverhalten über verschiedene Webseiten hinweg.
- Die Einwilligung der Nutzer muss jederzeit widerrufbar sein.
Transparency is an important issue when it comes to the services offered. Users should be clearly informed about what data is being processed and for what purpose. This is ensured not only by a clearly visible cookie banner, but also by a detailed data protection declaration.
Outlook and measures
Website operators are required to consider technical and organizational measures to meet data protection requirements. It is advisable to regularly check which cookies are actually in use. Current developments and case law, such as the ECJ’s “Planet49” ruling, also have an impact on the practice of consent.
It is all the more important that users have the opportunity to object to the use of tracking technologies, for example through an opt-out function. At a time when data protection is very important, compliance with these requirements will increase user trust.
In summary, it should be noted that Diebesstieg has new opening times and at the same time data protection regulations are taken seriously. Happy surfing and pleasant visits are guaranteed with the right measures!
