Last updated: June 2025

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how asylus.de uses them, what types of cookies we use, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

The use of cookies may involve the processing of personal data. For more information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. They allow websites to remember information about your visit and recognise you on your next visit.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as first-party cookies) or by third parties whose content is embedded within the website (known as third-party cookies).

3. How Do We Use Cookies?

We use cookies to:

• ensure the proper functioning of our website
• store your cookie preferences and consent choices
• statistically analyse and improve the use of our website
• make our content and services more relevant to you

4. What Types of Cookies Do We Use?

4.1 Necessary Cookies

These cookies are strictly required for the technical operation of the website. They enable basic functions such as page navigation and access to secure areas. The website cannot function correctly without these cookies.

Necessary cookies may be set without your consent, as they are based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

4.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced features and personalisation, such as storing language preferences or form data. They are only set if you have given your express consent.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (Consent)

4.3 Statistics Cookies (Analytics)

Statistics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. The data collected is aggregated and evaluated in anonymised form.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (Consent)

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics processes usage data via cookies. The information generated is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. We have enabled IP anonymisation, so your IP address is shortened by Google within the EU prior to transmission.

4.4 Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to show visitors relevant advertisements. These cookies are currently not in use on asylus.de.

5. Google Tag Manager

We use the Google Tag Manager provided by Google LLC. This service manages JavaScript and HTML tags embedded on our website. The Google Tag Manager itself does not set cookies and does not process personal data. It does, however, activate other tags which may collect data in their own right. The Google Tag Manager does not access this data.

6. Your Consent and Right to Withdraw

When you first visit our website, a cookie banner is displayed allowing you to grant or decline consent for the use of non-essential cookies. You may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect.

How to manage your consent:

• Cookie settings on our website: Click on “Cookie Settings” at the bottom of the page to adjust your preferences at any time.

Withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out on the basis of your consent prior to its withdrawal.

7. Third-Party Providers and International Data Transfers

Some of the services we use (in particular Google) are based in the United States. Under current law, the USA is considered a third country without an adequate level of data protection within the meaning of the GDPR. Data transfers to the USA are carried out on the basis of Standard Contractual Clauses pursuant to Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR and, where applicable, on the basis of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
