Cookies and storage
What is stored in your browser, what for and how you control it.
In short: Without your consent we only store what the website needs to work. Google Analytics and embedded streams only come into play if you want them.
What are cookies and local storage?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser and reads again on your next visit. Local storage works in a similar way but is not automatically sent to the server. Both are governed by Section 25 TDDDG (German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act): we may store what is strictly necessary without consent, everything else only with your consent.
Necessary – always on
These entries are required to operate the website or for a feature you have explicitly requested (Section 25(2) No. 2 TDDDG). They contain no advertising or analytics identifiers.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
nx_consent | Cookie (first-party) | Stores your choice in the consent banner (version, statistics yes/no, time). | 6 months |
nx-theme | Local storage | Remembers whether you chose dark or light mode. | until you delete it |
.AspNetCore.Antiforgery.* | Cookie (first-party) | Protection against forged form submissions (only on forms, e.g. applications). | Session |
nx_twitch_state, nx_youtube_state | Cookie (first-party) | Talents only: protects the channel authorisation with Twitch or Google against abuse. | 10 minutes |
UMB_UCONTEXT, UMB-XSRF-TOKEN, UMB-XSRF-V | Cookie (first-party) | Our team only: sign-in and security in the content management system (Umbraco). | Session or until sign-out |
The real-time connection for the live status (WebSocket) does not use cookies.
Statistics – only with consent
We only set these cookies if you choose “Accept all” in the banner or switch on “Statistics” (Section 25(1) TDDDG, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics (Google Ireland Ltd.) | Distinguishes visitors using a random identifier. | 2 years |
_ga_<ID> | Google Analytics (Google Ireland Ltd.) | Stores the session state. | 2 years |
If you withdraw your consent, we delete these cookies in your browser. Details on Google Analytics can be found in the privacy policy.
Embedded content – only after a click
Streams and videos from Twitch, YouTube and Kick only load when you click the preview image. From then on, these providers may set their own cookies and storage entries (e.g. for playback settings, sign-in or statistics). We have no influence on their type and duration; information is available from the providers:
How to control your choice
- On our website: via the “Cookie settings” link in the footer of every page or right here. There you can switch “Statistics” on or off at any time.
- In your browser: you can view, delete or block cookies and local storage in your browser settings. If you delete
nx_consent, we will ask again on your next visit. If you block all cookies, some features (e.g. forms) may not work.
