Privacy
Last updated 10 August 2026
The short version. This site has no accounts, no sign-up and no payments. It sets no cookies, runs no analytics and tracks nobody. Two small things are saved in your own browser so the site remembers your colour mode and your access key; neither is ever sent anywhere.
Your browser contacts no company but this site's own host. There are no outside fonts, scripts, embeds or services on any page.
What is saved on your device
Both of these live in your browser's local storage, on your own computer or phone. They stay there. Nothing reads them but this site, running in your browser.
| Name | What it holds | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
german-lesson-theme |
One word: which of the four colour modes you chose. | So the site opens the way you left it. | Until you clear it. |
gfru_access |
The access key you typed, and the time you typed it. | So you do not retype the key on every lesson. | 24 hours, then it stops working. |
You can delete both at any time by clearing your browser's site data. Nothing is lost except the colour mode and having to enter the key again.
What this site does not do
- No accounts, because there is nothing to register for.
- No payments, and no card details are ever asked for or handled.
- No cookies.
- No analytics, no visitor counting, no session recording, no heatmaps.
- No advertising and no advertising networks.
- No mailing list. Nothing you type into the site is transmitted anywhere.
- Nothing is sold or shared with anyone, because nothing is collected in the first place.
Other companies involved
Fonts. The typeface is served from this site, from its own fonts/ folder. It used to be loaded from Google, which meant your IP address reached Google on every page load before you clicked anything. That no longer happens.
Firebase Hosting. The site's files are served by Firebase Hosting, which is also Google. Like any web server, it keeps ordinary request logs (IP address, time, which page, which browser) for a limited period. These are Google's logs, not something read or analysed here.
Nobody else is involved. No other third-party script, embed or service runs on this site.
Children
This site is a general German course rather than something aimed at children, and since it collects nothing, it holds no information about anyone of any age.
Your rights
The GDPR gives you the right to see, correct or delete personal information an organisation holds about you. There is no store of personal information here to see, correct or delete. The only data connected to you sits in your own browser, under your own control, and clearing your site data removes it.
The one place your IP address is unavoidably handled is the web server itself, which cannot deliver a page without knowing where to send it. That is covered above.
Changes
If the site starts doing something new, such as taking payments, sending a newsletter or counting visitors, this page will be rewritten before that happens, and the date at the top will change.
