This Cookie Policy explains how XOR Digital GmbH ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit https://art-of-talk.com (the "Website"). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and the choices you have.
We may use cookies to collect information that, alone or combined with other data, could be personal data. Where required by law (e.g., in the EU/EEA/UK), we only place non‑essential cookies after you give consent via our cookie banner or settings.
1) What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They are widely used to make websites work or work more efficiently, and to provide reporting information.
