Cookie Policy

Last Updated: February 2026

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use cookies on our website, and your cookie preferences. This policy complies with GDPR, Austrian data protection regulations, and industry best practices.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. They contain information that is sent back to the website when you visit again. Cookies help websites remember your preferences, maintain functionality, and provide a better user experience.

Our Cookie Philosophy

We believe in privacy-first practices. We use the minimum number of cookies necessary for website operation and explicitly do not use cookies for:

• Tracking user behavior
• Analytics or statistics gathering
• Advertising or remarketing
• Building user profiles
• Sharing data with third parties

Cookies We Use

Essential Functional Cookies

Cookie Name: naturalpeakflow_consent

• Purpose: Stores your cookie consent preference to remember that you have acknowledged this policy
• Duration: 12 months
• Required: Yes - this cookie is necessary for website functionality
• Data Collected: Only your consent choice (accepted or dismissed)

Cookies We Do NOT Use

We explicitly do not use:

• Google Analytics: We do not track page views, user journeys, or visitor statistics
• Advertising Cookies: We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or marketing
• Third-Party Analytics: We do not use external analytics services or tracking pixels
• Social Media Tracking: We do not embed social media tracking pixels or cookies
• Performance Monitoring: We do not use performance monitoring cookies

Consent Mode v2

We implement Consent Mode v2, a privacy-first standard for cookie consent management. This means:

• Transparent Consent: We clearly inform you about what cookies we use before collecting any information
• User Control: You have full control over whether to allow cookies
• Easy Opt-Out: You can change your consent preferences at any time
• Essential Only: Only essential cookies are set by default; no tracking occurs without consent

How to Manage Cookies

Cookie Banner

When you first visit NaturalPeakFlow, a cookie banner appears at the bottom of the page. This banner explains that we use only essential cookies and gives you options to:

• Accept: Click "Accept" to confirm you understand and accept our cookie usage
• Close: Click "Close" to dismiss the banner (we will remember your choice)

Browser Settings

You can manage cookies through your web browser settings:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Firefox: Preferences → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data
• Edge: Settings → Privacy, search and services → Clear browsing data → Cookies

You can choose to:

• Accept all cookies
• Accept only essential cookies
• Block all cookies
• Delete existing cookies

Do Not Track

Many browsers include a "Do Not Track" feature. NaturalPeakFlow respects Do Not Track preferences by not using any tracking cookies regardless of browser settings.

Impact of Blocking Cookies

Since we only use essential cookies, blocking them will only affect the storage of your cookie consent preference. The website should function normally even with cookies disabled. You may need to dismiss the cookie banner again if you clear your browser cookies.

Third-Party Cookies

We do not use third-party cookies or embed third-party tracking services. However, some external content (such as links or reference materials) may contain third-party cookies from other websites. This policy does not cover cookies from third-party websites. We recommend reviewing their cookie policies.

Server Logs

In addition to cookies, standard web server logs may contain:

• Your IP address
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Pages visited
• Time and date of access

These logs are retained for 30 days for security and troubleshooting purposes, then automatically deleted. This information is not used for tracking or profiling.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the website constitutes acceptance of any changes.
