This page explains what cookies and similar technologies Roam Austria uses, what they do, and how you can control them. For the wider picture of how we handle personal data, see our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device. It lets the site remember things, like the fact you dismissed a notice, or that you are logged in. “Similar technologies” (local storage, etc.) work in comparable ways. Some cookies are essential for the site to function; others are optional and only set with your consent.
The categories we use
We group cookies into three categories:
- Strictly necessary: required for the site to work (security, load balancing, remembering your cookie choice, logging in). These do not need consent.
- Functional: remember preferences to improve your experience. Set only where used and, where required, with your consent.
- Analytics / marketing: measure usage or support advertising. We do not use any. If that ever changes, we will list them here and ask for your consent first.
Consent
Non-essential cookies and third-party embeds (such as interactive maps and embedded videos) load only after you agree through our cookie consent banner. You can review and change your choice at any time via the cookie settings link in the footer.

What we do not use
This site does not load web analytics, advertising networks, or social media tracking pixels. If we ever introduce any, we will update this page and ask for your consent first.
How to manage or disable cookies
You are always in control:
- Cookie settings: change your consent choice at any time via the cookie settings link in the footer.

Legal basis
Strictly-necessary cookies are set on the basis of technical necessity and our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; § 165 Abs. 3 TKG 2021). Any non-essential cookie is set only with your prior consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time.
