Cookies at Snapveil
Snapveil only uses strictly necessary cookies that we set ourselves. There are no analytics, marketing or advertising cookies. That is why there is no cookie banner on our website: strictly necessary cookies do not require consent (Section 25 (2) no. 2 of the German TDDDG).
Further information on data processing can be found in the privacy policy.

Browser local storage
Besides cookies, we use your browser's local storage for a few strictly necessary entries, for example so that a notice you have dismissed does not appear again. These entries stay in your browser and can be deleted together with the cookies.
Visitor statistics without cookies
We run our visitor statistics ourselves in the EU. They work without cookies, assign no persistent identifiers and pass no data on to third parties.
Third-party cookies
We do not embed services that set cookies when you merely visit our website. Third parties can only set their own cookies when you actively use their service:
- Stripe: Payment does not take place on our website. You are redirected to Stripe's payment page, which sets its own cookies necessary for payment and fraud prevention there.
- Google: When you sign in with your Google account, you are redirected to Google. Google's cookies and privacy terms apply there.
- Cloudflare Turnstile: For individual abuse-prone functions, Turnstile checks whether a request comes from a human. Cloudflare may use strictly necessary cookies for this.
- Featurebase: The signed-in organiser area embeds a feedback and support window that may use its own strictly necessary storage entries. Guests of a gallery never come into contact with it.
Deleting or blocking cookies
You can view, delete or block cookies at any time in your browser settings, usually under "Privacy" or "Site data". Without the cookies listed above, sign-in, password-protected galleries and uploads will not work, or only to a limited extent.
Changes
If anything changes, we will update this page. Please send questions to contact@snapveil.com.
