Cookies & similar technologies
This is a courtesy translation; the German version prevails.
This policy is maintained by SIFAT Road Safety GmbH and describes which cookies and local storage technologies are used on this website. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. The web storage mechanisms localStorage and sessionStorage work in a similar way. Among other things, they let us recognise your preferences for a later visit, keep the shopping cart in the shop, or analyse behaviour on the website statistically.
2. Legal basis & consent
Storage access strictly necessary to provide an explicitly requested service falls under Section 25(2)(2) TDDDG. Depending on the purpose, personal data is processed under Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR. Non-essential storage access generally needs prior consent under Section 25(1) TDDDG; a visit alone is insufficient. No own analytics or advertising trackers are currently included. Change your saved choices through the .
3. Categories at a glance
Required for the technical operation of the website (navigation, shopping cart, storing your cookie choice). This category cannot be deselected.
Anonymised reach measurement to improve content and structure. Currently no third-party scripts are loaded for this purpose; if new services are activated in future, we will inform you here.
Personalised advertising and retargeting. No marketing cookies are currently set; should we use providers in future (e.g. LinkedIn Insight, Meta Pixel), they will only be loaded after your consent.
4. Cookies & local storage used

Entries are stored in your browser. Requested functions still transmit necessary content, such as order details to Stripe and messages to the AI service. Local storage has no automatic expiry unless deleted or replaced.
5. Third parties
Google Fonts load from Google when a page opens. On Line 03, the YouTube interface and automatic preview load on page view; another video loads after pressing its button. Even youtube-nocookie.com transmits technical request data. Current statistics/marketing choices do not control these connections. External providers may process cookies or similar identifiers; see our privacy policy. Stripe processes data and may use its own storage identifiers during payment. TikTok and Borlabs Cookie are not included in the inspected website.
6. Managing cookies
You can adjust or withdraw your consent at any time via the . You can also generally block or delete cookies and local storage in your browser. Please note that without technically necessary entries, individual functions (e.g. the shopping cart in the shop) will no longer be available.
