2. What we process

5. Cookies and storage on your device

Only what the service needs: sign-in cookies, the language cookie (NEXT_LOCALE) and the age confirmation (cj_age). Your colour scheme, offline drafts, cached pages and your cigar history for suggestions are stored on your device only and are removed when you sign out or another account signs in. There are no tracking or advertising cookies, so no consent banner is needed (§ 165(3) TKG 2021).
