### 5. Cookies

This website does not use cookies for tracking, analytics, or advertising.
Only technically necessary cookies may be set by the hosting provider to ensure secure operation of the website.

### 6. Third-Party Links and Embedded Content

This website may contain links to third-party services (e.g., YouTube, Spotify, Hive-related websites, Discord). When you click a link, you leave our website and the third party is responsible for its own data processing.

If we embed third-party content (e.g., YouTube/Spotify players), personal data (such as IP address and device information) may be transmitted to the respective provider when the embedded content loads.

Legal basis:

- If embedded content is loaded only after your consent (e.g., via a consent/placeholder solution): Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent).

- If embedded content loads immediately without consent: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR may be considered, but consent is commonly required for services like YouTube in practice.
