Cookie Policy
How WorkDaten uses cookies and similar technologies for analytics and future personalization.
Cookie categories
WorkDaten expects a small essential layer for platform function and a separate optional analytics layer for aggregate product improvement. Any future advertising or personalization controls should be surfaced transparently through the consent flow.
The cookie model should remain consistent with locale routing, legal pages and privacy disclosures so users understand what is active on the route they are visiting.
How consent is captured
On a first visit, a cookie consent banner is shown that distinguishes between essential cookies (required for basic site operation and not subject to consent) and optional cookies (analytics, contextual ad measurement, future personalisation). The user can accept all, reject all or open detailed preferences.
Optional cookies are only set after the user has expressed an explicit positive consent. Pre-checked boxes are not used, and no analytics or tracking cookies fire while the banner is still being shown for the first time. The choice made is recorded so the banner does not re-appear for twelve months.
The consent control is permanently accessible from the footer so the user can revisit, change or fully withdraw their consent at any time, with immediate effect for future page loads.
Categories of cookies in detail
Essential cookies cover items strictly necessary for the platform to operate, including the locale routing cookie, the consent record cookie and any session token used to remember a user's selected country and language. These cookies are set without consent and have a short lifetime tied to the function they serve.
Analytics cookies provide aggregate usage measurement that helps the editorial team understand which countries, calculators and articles deliver the most reader value. The analytics layer is only loaded after consent and is configured to use IP truncation and other privacy-protective settings where supported by the provider.
Where contextual advertising is shown alongside articles, the ad-serving partner may set additional cookies in line with their own published privacy notices. Personalised advertising and behavioural retargeting require explicit opt-in and are not used for visitors who decline the optional layer.
Third-party services
Third-party services that may set cookies include the analytics provider, the contextual ad provider where applicable and the email delivery provider that handles contact form submissions. Each of these acts as a separate controller or processor under their own published privacy notices, which are linked in the cookie consent detail view.
WorkDaten reviews the third-party stack at least once per year to ensure that the cookies set are still proportionate, that the data flows align with the cookie consent options and that the processors continue to meet GDPR requirements.
Removing or blocking cookies through the browser is always possible and does not prevent access to the core functionality of the site, although it may affect features that depend on remembering the user's locale, country and preferences.
How it works
WorkDaten keeps privacy, cookie and terms information close to the rest of the platform so users can review important policies without losing the same language and navigation context.
Example use case
Before relying on a calculator for a recurring workflow, a team can review the legal pages to understand how WorkDaten frames privacy, cookies and platform responsibilities.
Frequently asked questions
Short answers to the questions people most often ask before relying on the page.
- What is the purpose of the Cookie Policy page?
- It explains the legal, privacy or platform-use baseline that applies to this part of WorkDaten.
- Do calculator inputs create an account automatically?
- No. Using the calculators does not create an account by itself.
- How should legal pages be interpreted?
- They explain the platform position in plain language, but they do not replace formal legal advice for your business.
- Does WorkDaten provide regulated advice?
- No. WorkDaten offers planning information and estimator tools, while regulated decisions still require official verification.
- How does WorkDaten handle my data?
- WorkDaten only stores the technical data needed to operate the site (server logs, aggregated analytics, cookie preferences when consented) and any data you explicitly send via a contact form. Calculator inputs remain on your device unless you explicitly choose a future feature that exports them.
- Where can I read the full Privacy Policy?
- The full Privacy Policy is linked from the footer of every page and from the Legal section. It explains exactly which data is collected, why it is collected, how long it is stored and how you can request access, correction or deletion under EU GDPR.
- Does WorkDaten use cookies?
- WorkDaten uses essential cookies that are required for the site to function and an optional analytics layer that helps us understand which pages are most useful. The optional layer is only loaded after you accept it through the cookie banner.
- How can I exercise my GDPR rights?
- Use the contact link in the footer to request access, rectification, deletion or data portability under GDPR. Requests are answered within thirty days, and most can be resolved much faster because WorkDaten holds very little personal data per visitor.
- Is WorkDaten subject to a specific data protection regulator?
- WorkDaten is operated from the European Union and is subject to GDPR. The competent supervisory authority follows the establishment of the operator, and the contact information for data protection inquiries is available in the Privacy Policy.
- Where can I find the Terms of Service?
- The Terms of Service are linked from the footer of every page and from the Legal section. They describe the scope of the service, the limits of the information provided and the basic commercial framework for using WorkDaten.
