Cookie Policy

Last updated: 2 October 2026 · Provider: ESTAYA Beyond GmbH

This is a convenience translation. The German version is legally binding.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognize certain information about your browser and distinguish between successive requests, for example to maintain your login status.

In addition to traditional cookies, similar technologies such as LocalStorage or SessionStorage may also be used, which are functionally comparable.

2. Which categories do we use?

Strictly necessary cookies: always active

These cookies are essential for the operation of the website and the app. Without them, the service cannot function correctly. This includes in particular session management, CSRF protection, and login status. They are not used to track user behavior. Consent is not required for strictly necessary cookies under Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Usage statistics: only with consent, no cookies

For pseudonymous audience measurement we use Matomo, self-hosted web analytics on our own infrastructure in Germany. Matomo is only loaded after you have explicitly agreed in the cookie banner (consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, Section 25(1) TTDSG), and it sets no cookies when it does. You can withdraw your consent at any time (see section 4).

Marketing and advertising cookies: not active

We do not use marketing or advertising cookies. No data is transferred to advertising networks or third-party providers for advertising purposes.

3. Specific cookies on this site

Only the following technically necessary cookies are set on sip.coach, regardless of your consent, since they are required for operation. The Matomo usage statistics (after consent) add no further cookies:

Name Purpose Storage duration Category
session_id User session management (login status) Session duration (deleted when the browser is closed) Required
csrf_token Protection against cross-site request forgery attacks Session duration Required

Note: We do not use advertising cookies and transfer no data to advertising networks. Our Matomo usage statistics are collected only after your explicit consent.

4. How you can manage cookies

You can view, restrict, or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings. Please note that disabling necessary cookies may impair the functionality of the service (e.g. login may not be possible).

You can withdraw your consent to the Matomo usage statistics at any time with future effect: change cookie settings.
