Cookie Policy

When you return to the site, the browser sends those files back, so the site can recognise your session, remember your preferences or measure how pages are used. Similar technologies - such as local storage, session storage and small tracking pixels - work in comparable ways, and this policy covers them all under the general term “cookies”.

A cookie typically includes the domain that created it, a value (usually a randomly generated token) and an expiration date. Cookies are unable to access other files stored on your device and do not function as executable programs.

Strictly necessary cookies

These keep the site usable: they maintain your session while you move between pages, balance traffic across servers, protect forms against automated abuse and remember the cookie choices you have already made. They do not build a profile of you and cannot be switched off through our banner, because without them core functions such as signing in would fail.

Preference (functionality) cookies

These remember the settings you choose - for example the interface language, a region, a display preference or whether you have dismissed an informational notice. They make the site more convenient but are not essential; if you refuse them, the site still works and simply asks for your preferences again on each visit.

Analytics (performance) cookies

These help us count visits, see which pages are read, how long people stay and where errors occur. The reporting is aggregated: it tells us that a page is popular or slow, not who you are. We use the results to fix problems and to improve the structure of the site.

Marketing (advertising) cookies

These track your arrival via a specific promotion or ad, prevent repetitive displays of identical content, and assess whether a promotion resulted in registration. Advertising partners across other sites may access them. They are only deployed with your clear consent.

Soveregin Rendholt deploys cookies to preserve website security and operability, to retain your preferences, to identify which content proves valuable, and - provided you have consented - to assess the effectiveness of our advertising initiatives. Essential cookies are deployed immediately upon site access since the site requires them to function. All remaining categories activate exclusively following your permission, which you may revoke whenever you choose.

Through our banner

Access the cookie banner or cookie configuration option available on the website to permit or deny the preference, analytics, and marketing cookie categories. Denying a category prevents subsequent cookies in that category from being deposited; previously stored cookies can be removed using your browser's deletion functions.

Through your browser

All major browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete them individually or entirely, block cookies from specific sites, block all third-party cookies, or delete everything automatically when the browser closes. You will normally find these controls under a menu named “Settings”, then “Privacy”, “Privacy and security”, “Site permissions” or “Cookies and site data”. Mobile browsers offer the same options in their settings screens, and mobile operating systems provide separate controls for advertising identifiers.

Private browsing

Opening the site in a private or incognito window means most cookies are discarded when you close that window, though this does not prevent them from being set during your visit.

Certain cookies originate from third-party vendors performing services under our direction, including analytics platforms, content distribution services, security providers, and ad performance trackers. These vendors may access their cookies across other websites utilizing their respective services. We do not manage third-party cookie content; their handling of collected information follows their respective privacy policies and cookie disclosures.

Where a third-party cookie is not strictly necessary, it is only placed after you have consented through the cookie banner. If you would like a list of the providers currently in use, contact support and we will provide the up-to-date details.

Session cookies exist only while your browser window is open and are erased automatically when you close it. Persistent cookies remain until their expiry date or until you delete them; on this site their lifetimes range from a few days to roughly two years, depending on the purpose. The exact expiry of an individual cookie can always be inspected in your browser’s storage settings.

Your consent preferences are retained for a defined timeframe to prevent the banner from displaying on each session; upon expiration of this timeframe, renewed consent will be requested.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent parts of the site from working: you may be unable to stay signed in, submit a form or complete a secure step. Blocking preference cookies means settings such as language are not remembered. Blocking analytics or marketing cookies has no effect on functionality - you will simply not be counted in our statistics and campaign measurement.

We review this policy periodically and update it when the cookies we use, the technologies behind them or the applicable rules change. The current version is always published on this page; material changes will be signalled on the site or through the cookie banner, and continued use after the update means the revised policy applies.

If you have a question about this policy, want details of a specific cookie or wish to exercise a data-protection right, please write to our support team through the contact page. Related documents are listed in the footer of every page, including our Privacy Policy.
