Cookies and consent
HADONE sets no advertising cookies and embeds no third-party trackers. This page lists every cookie the site uses and what it is for.

| Cookie | Purpose | Stored for |
|---|---|---|
| hadone_locale | Remembers the language you picked in the language switcher, so you are not sent back to the German site on your next visit. Functional. | 12 months |
| sb-…-auth-token | Keeps you logged in. Set only after you log in, and cleared when you log out. Strictly necessary. | Until you log out |
Why there is no consent banner
Both cookies above are either strictly necessary or set as the direct result of something you asked for — choosing a language, or logging in. §25(2) DDG requires no consent for those, and we set nothing else.
If we ever add a cookie that does need consent, we will ask for it first rather than assume it.
Usage statistics
We record a small set of events — a search, a product view, a completed report — in our own database, to see which parts of the site are actually used.
They are stored first-party, are never sold or shared, contain no device fingerprint, and are linked to your account only when you are logged in.
Removing them
Your browser can delete both cookies at any time through its site-data settings. Deleting them logs you out and resets the site to the language your browser asks for.
