Cookie Policy
Which cookies and browser storage the website uses, why, for how long — and how to change your choice.
1. Your choice and withdrawal
On your first visit the website asks which non-essential categories you allow; all are off by default. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time via “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page. On withdrawal the website deletes the statistics cookies on its own domain (_ga, _ga_…) and the convenience data stored in your browser, and stops further measurement. The website cannot delete cookies of other domains (e.g. google.com) — you can remove those in your browser settings.
2. Cookies and browser storage

| _ga, _ga_<ID> | cookie, Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Ltd.) | aggregated visitor statistics; Google Signals and advertising features off | up to 2 years (Google default) | only with “Statistics” consent; the Google script is not loaded before |
| Google’s own cookies (google.com) | third party, Google | embedded map | per Google’s rules | only with “External media” consent or the “Load map” button |
Fonts are served from our own hosting; there are no social media plug-ins or advertising trackers. localStorage items do not expire by themselves; the day counts show how long the website takes them into account.
3. Legal basis
Session handling necessary for requested sign-in, operator administration or preview, and remembering cookie choices do not require separate consent. Optional post-booking account linking using PATERGUEST requires Convenience features consent. Statistics and external media are separate choices. The Load map button may represent informed consent only to the particular Google map after clear prior information; it must not automatically enable statistics. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. Storage/access is governed by section 155(4) of Act C of 2003; personal-data processing also requires the appropriate GDPR legal basis.
