1. Scope
This policy explains the cookies and comparable technologies used on www.rlk-group.com, which is operated by RLK GmbH. It should be read together with our privacy policy: Privacy Policy
Cookies here means cookies and any comparable technology that stores information on your device or reads information from it, including local storage.
2. Our consent model
We set no cookies other than strictly necessary ones until you tell us we may.
When you first visit, a banner asks for your choice. Statistics and marketing cookies are set only after you accept the respective category. Declining is as straightforward as accepting, and declining has no effect on your ability to use the website or to send us an enquiry.
Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent, because they are needed to deliver a service you have requested (§25(2) No. 2 TDDDG).
3. Changing or withdrawing your choice
You may change or withdraw your choice at any time through the cookie settings link in the website footer. Withdrawal takes effect for the future and does not affect data already collected lawfully.
We store your choice for 12 months, after which you will be asked again. You can also delete cookies at any time through your browser settings.
