We believe that understanding website cookies shouldn't require a law degree. This policy outlines exactly how Avonie uses cookies to improve your experience while respecting your privacy. No hidden trackers, no vague jargon—just a straightforward breakdown of the technical essentials.
At its core, a cookie is simply a small text file stored by your browser when you visit a website. For Avonie, which serves as a static information portal, these files are strictly limited to technical functionality. We do not use cookies to track you across the web or build advertising profiles.
Our usage is split into two distinct categories: essential cookies that keep the site running, and preference cookies that remember your settings (like your consent to this policy itself). This separation ensures that even if you only allow essential features, the site remains fully functional.
"In a static environment, cookies are not surveillance tools—they are simple memory aids for the browser, nothing more."

To summarize: We use strictly necessary cookies for site security and basic function. We use preference cookies to store your consent decision. We do not use analytics, advertising, or social media cookies. You can disable them anytime without losing access to our guides.
We do not confuse the issue. Our cookie usage falls into these two specific buckets.
These are the backbone of the site. They handle security settings (like protecting against CSRF attacks) and ensure that when you navigate between pages, your session remains stable. They are temporary and expire quickly.
These remember that you’ve seen and accepted our cookie banner. They prevent the banner from reappearing on every page load. If you clear your browser cache, this cookie is removed and the banner will return.
Our approach aligns with European and German privacy standards.
No data leaves your browser without explicit consent. We follow the "Privacy by Default" mandate.
Avonie is hosted on servers located within the Federal Republic of Germany, subject to strict local data protection laws.
We do not inject Google Analytics, Facebook Pixels, or ad network trackers. Your visit is your business.
You have the absolute right to disable or delete cookies. While blocking "Essential" cookies will break certain site functions (like security forms), you can freely block our "Preference" cookies or all cookies entirely.
If you have previously accepted our cookies and wish to change your mind, you can clear your browser cache and visit the site again. You will be presented with the consent banner to make a fresh choice.
