Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we use on ainshtein.com, why, and how you can control them. It complements our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. Cookies allow the site to remember your preferences, keep you logged in, or measure how the site is used. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags.
2. Consent (GDPR + ePrivacy)
Under the EU ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) and GDPR, we may only place non-essential cookies on your device with your explicit, informed, freely given, granular consent. On your first visit our consent banner asks you to Accept all / Reject all / Customize. You can change your choice at any time via the “Cookie preferences” link in the footer.

Currently no marketing or advertising cookies are used on this site.
4. Third-party services
- Cloudflare — content delivery and security. May set essential cookies (see 3.1).
- Google Fonts — not used; we self-host all fonts on our own server to avoid transferring IP addresses to Google.
- YouTube / social widgets — not embedded on the site. Social links are plain hyperlinks that do not load third-party scripts.
5. How to manage cookies
- Use our in-site panel (recommended).
- Delete cookies via your browser settings (see instructions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).
