Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Performance Factory GmbH uses cookies and similar technologies on www.perform-factory.com (the “Website”).
It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which provides further information about how we process personal data and how users can exercise their data-protection rights.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website may store on a user’s device. They can be used to enable technical functions, remember preferences, understand how a website is used or support advertising activities.
Websites may also use comparable technologies, such as local storage, pixels, tags and device identifiers. References to “cookies” in this policy include these similar technologies where appropriate.
2. Our Current Use of Cookies
At the date of this Cookie Policy, Performance Factory GmbH does not intentionally use:
- analytics or audience-measurement cookies;
- Google Analytics;
- advertising or retargeting cookies;
- Meta Pixel;
- profiling cookies;
- cross-site tracking technologies;
- cookies used to create advertising or marketing profiles.
The Website therefore does not currently use analytics, advertising or profiling cookies requiring the user’s consent.
The Website is built and hosted using Webflow. Webflow and the Website’s technical infrastructure may use technologies that are strictly necessary to:
- deliver Website content;
- maintain Website and network security;
- prevent misuse or malicious traffic;
- operate forms or functions requested by the user;
- maintain technical stability and performance.
Strictly necessary technologies are used only where required to provide the Website or a feature expressly requested by the user.
3. Technologies Currently Used
Strictly Necessary Technologies
Strictly necessary technologies may be used to ensure that the Website functions securely and correctly.
Purposes: Website delivery, security, network management and the operation of functions requested by the user.
Providers: Performance Factory GmbH, Webflow, Inc. and their technical infrastructure providers.
Legal basis for storing or accessing information on the user’s device: Section 25(2) of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG), where the relevant technology is strictly necessary.
Legal basis for processing personal data: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in providing a functional and secure Website, or Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where processing is necessary to respond to a request or take pre-contractual steps.
Duration: Only for as long as technically necessary. The precise duration depends on the technology and the relevant user session.
Analytics Cookies
Current status: Not used.
Performance Factory GmbH does not currently use Google Analytics or another analytics service to measure visitor behaviour.
Advertising and Profiling Cookies
Current status: Not used.
Performance Factory GmbH does not currently use advertising pixels, retargeting tools or cookies for personalised advertising.
Preference Cookies
Current status: Not intentionally used.
The Website does not currently use non-essential cookies to remember user preferences.
4. Cookie Consent
Because the Website does not currently use non-essential analytics, advertising or profiling technologies, no consent banner is presently provided for these purposes.
If Performance Factory GmbH introduces non-essential cookies or similar technologies in the future, those technologies will not be activated before the user has made a consent choice, where consent is required by law.
Users will be able to:
- accept or reject non-essential technologies;
- make separate choices for different purposes where appropriate;
- change or withdraw their consent at any time;
- continue using the Website without accepting non-essential technologies.
The withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
5. Possible Future Use of Google Analytics
Performance Factory GmbH may introduce Google Analytics or another audience-measurement service in the future.
Before such a service is activated, Performance Factory GmbH will:
- update this Cookie Policy;
- identify the service provider and purposes of the processing;
- list the relevant cookies or technologies;
- provide the applicable retention periods;
- explain any transfers of data outside the European Economic Area;
- implement an appropriate consent-management mechanism;
- prevent the service from running until valid consent has been obtained, where required.
The possible future use of Google Analytics does not mean that it is currently active.
6. Browser Settings
Most browsers allow users to view, delete or block cookies through their settings. Users may also configure their browser to notify them before a cookie is stored.
Blocking strictly necessary technologies may cause parts of the Website or certain requested functions to operate incorrectly.
Instructions are generally available in the privacy or security section of the browser’s settings or support documentation.
7. External Websites
The Website may contain links to websites operated by third parties. If a user follows an external link, the third party may use cookies or similar technologies under its own policies.
Performance Factory GmbH does not control technologies used on third-party websites. Users should review the privacy and cookie information provided by the relevant third party.
A standard link to an external website does not itself cause the third party’s cookies to be placed through the Performance Factory Website.
8. Changes to This Cookie Policy
Performance Factory GmbH may update this Cookie Policy if the Website’s technologies, services or applicable legal requirements change.
The updated version will be published on this page together with a revised “Last updated” date.
If new technologies requiring consent are introduced, the relevant information and consent options will be provided before those technologies are activated.
