This page explains which cookies and comparable technologies we use on deal-engine.de, what they do, how long they last and how you control them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device to keep the website functional and user-friendly. We also use your browser storage, which works the same way and is listed below.
Without your consent nothing is set
Until you choose "Accept all" in the banner, the site sets no analytics or advertising cookies and sends no request to third parties. Only your choice itself is stored, so we do not have to ask again on every page.
Which cookies we use
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Storage period |
|---|---|---|---|
| de_consent Technically necessary | DealEngine | Stores your cookie choice so the banner does not reappear on every page. | Until you clear the site data (browser storage) |
| _ga, _ga_WK6GF0CRPB | Google Analytics 4 | Distinguishes visitors and measures how the site is used. | 13 months |
| _gcl_au, test_cookie | Google Ads, DoubleClick | Measures whether a visit came from an ad and whether cookies can be set. | 90 days, session |
| _clck, _clsk | Microsoft Clarity | Analyses usage, including session recordings and heatmaps. | 1 year, 1 day |
| MUID, MR, SM, ANONCHK, SRM_B | Microsoft (clarity.ms, bing.com) | Recognises browsers across Microsoft services, also used for Microsoft Advertising. | Up to 13 months, some session only |
Measured on the live site in August 2026. Analytics and advertising tags run through Google Tag Manager, so this list can change when we add or remove a tag.
Legal basis
Technically necessary storage is based on Section 25 (2) no. 2 TDDDG. Everything else, meaning statistics and advertising, is based solely on your consent under Section 25 (1) TDDDG and Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
Transfer to third countries
Google and Microsoft may process data in the USA. Both companies are certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, and we have concluded the standard contractual clauses with them. Details are in our privacy policy.
Change or withdraw your choice
You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future, and it is as easy as giving it:
If you then choose "Necessary only", we delete the cookies set by us and reload the page without the advertising and analytics tags. Cookies stored by clarity.ms, bing.com or doubleclick.net belong to those domains and can only be removed in your browser settings.
