# Cookie-Richtlinie

Zuletzt aktualisiert am 29 October 2026

Ankinize uses a small number of cookies and browser storage entries needed for the site to work, plus two optional ones you decide on: product analytics and masked error recordings. We never use advertising cookies. The optional ones stay off until you allow them in the banner.

## What we set
