What does this Cookie Policy mean for you?
This page explains how Wochenanalyse.de uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our site. It tells you what data we collect automatically, why we collect it, and how you can control it. You are in charge of non-essential cookies through our Cookie Settings tool.
Wochenanalyse.de is owned and operated by Wochenanalys Media Ltd., a private company registered in Gibraltar (company number C 92009, Malta Business Registry). Our registered office is Office 9, Business Centre, Valletta, 0000. For any privacy or cookie-related questions, you can reach our data protection team at privacy@wochenanalyse.de.
What types of cookies do we use?
We use three categories of cookies: strictly necessary cookies, analytics cookies, and marketing cookies. Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the site to function – they enable secure log‑in, load‑balancing, and basic navigation. Analytics cookies help us understand how readers use our content, so we can improve the experience. Marketing cookies allow us to show relevant sponsored content and measure the effectiveness of our advertising partnerships.
Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent. They are active as soon as you land on wochenanalyse.de. All other cookies – analytics and marketing – are only placed after you give explicit consent via our Cookie Settings banner. You can change your choice at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of every page.
How do we manage your consent?
When you first visit Wochenanalyse.de, a clear cookie banner appears asking you to accept or decline non‑essential cookies. You can also open the Cookie Settings panel to choose individual categories. Your preference is stored for 12 months, after which you will be asked again. You may withdraw or adjust consent at any moment using the same Cookie Settings link.
Consent is managed through a consent‑management platform that records your choice in a first‑party cookie. No non‑essential cookies are loaded until you actively agree. If you decline, only strictly necessary cookies remain active. Our editorial team has no access to your cookie preferences; the system is fully independent from our newsroom.
How this works in practice
Imagine you open an article about Sweden’s energy policy. The page loads quickly because a strictly necessary cookie balances the server load. You then see a small banner offering you “Accept All” or “Cookie Settings”. You click “Cookie Settings”, disable marketing cookies, and confirm “Save Settings”. From that moment, no advertising or tracking cookies are placed – but analytics cookies that count page views (anonymised) are still active because you left that category on. Later, you close your browser. When you return two weeks later, your choice is still remembered, so no new banner appears. You can revisit Cookie Settings at any time to turn analytics off as well.
Who is responsible for this policy?
Wochenanalys Media Ltd., registered in Gibraltar, is the data controller for all cookie processing on wochenanalyse.de. Our editorial team, led by Chefredaktör Peter Weber (anders.lindqvist@wochenanalyse.de), oversees content but does not influence cookie practices. The legal entity behind the site is fully disclosed in our Ownership & Funding page. For all cookie‑related inquiries, contact our privacy officer directly at privacy@wochenanalyse.de.
We recommend reading our full Privacy Policy for detailed information on how we handle personal data, including data collected via cookies. You may also want to review our About Us page for context on who we are, and our Editorial Policy to understand how editorial independence is maintained.
In short
This Cookie Policy gives you clear control over the cookies we use on Wochenanalyse.de. Only strictly necessary cookies are set without your consent – everything else requires your active choice via the Cookie Settings tool. You can change your mind at any time, and you can always contact our privacy team at privacy@wochenanalyse.de with any questions.
