Cookie Policy

Last updated: June 2025

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website operators.

Cookies set by the website operator are called „first-party cookies“. Cookies set by parties other than the website operator are called „third-party cookies“. Third-party cookies enable features or functionality provided by a third party (e.g. analytics, advertising or social media).

2. How We Currently Use Cookies

Sandra Niethen Consulting’s website (sandraniethen.com) is a static informational website. We currently use only strictly necessary cookies — that is, cookies that are essential for the website to function and that cannot be switched off.

We do not currently use:

  • Analytics or performance cookies (e.g. Google Analytics)
  • Marketing or advertising cookies (e.g. LinkedIn Insight Tag, Meta Pixel)
  • Functionality cookies for personalisation
  • Social media tracking cookies

Because we only set strictly necessary cookies, we are not legally required to obtain your consent before placing them. No cookie banner is therefore displayed on our website at this time.

Should we introduce any non-essential cookies in the future, we will update this policy and implement an appropriate consent mechanism before doing so.

5. Legal Basis

The processing of data via strictly necessary cookies is based on our legitimate interest in providing a functional website, pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Should we introduce non-essential cookies in the future, the legal basis for processing via those cookies will be your consent, pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You will be able to withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie settings on our website.

6. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example when we introduce new tools or technologies on our website, or when legal requirements change. The current version will always be available at sandraniethen.com. We recommend that you review this policy periodically.
