What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners about user behaviour and preferences.

This Cookie Policy explains how dataforge GmbH ("we", "our", or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website (dataforge.world) and CRM platform. By using our website and services, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies for several important reasons:

  • Essential functionality: Some cookies are necessary for our website to function properly and provide you with our services
  • Performance and analytics: We use cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website and identify areas for improvement
  • Personalisation: Cookies help us remember your preferences and provide a customised experience

Types of Cookies We Use

Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation, access to secure areas, and form submissions. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled.

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use Google Analytics to gather insights about user behaviour, popular pages, and website performance. This information helps us improve our website and services.

Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. They remember your preferences, language settings, and other choices you make to improve your experience.

Marketing and Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. We use Google Ads and other advertising platforms that may place cookies on your device.

We use Google Fonts to display fonts consistently across our website. When you visit our site, Google may set cookies to optimise font loading and improve website performance.

  • Analytics cookies only collect data if you've consented to analytics
  • Advertising cookies are only used if you've consented to marketing
  • Google services adjust their behaviour based on your consent choices
