Cookie Policy (EU)

Last Updated: 02.11.2026

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy applies to citizens and legal permanent residents of the European Economic Area (EEA) and explains how https://europeanschooluxembourg2.eu (operated by Prajs.com) uses cookies and browser local storage.

2. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. Local Storage is a standard browser feature that allows our website to store your privacy banner preferences directly inside your browser without sending them back to the server with every page request.

3. How We Use Cookies on This Website

We keep our use of cookies to an absolute minimum and never use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies:

  • Functional & Security (Strictly Necessary):
    • We use a browser Local Storage entry (sgc_consent_state) to remember your banner choices.
    • Because our website is protected by Cloudflare, Cloudflare may set strictly necessary security cookies (such as __cf_bm or cf_clearance) to distinguish between humans and automated bots and protect the site against malicious traffic. Under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive, these strictly necessary cookies do not require prior consent.
  • Statistics (Optional – Matomo Analytics): Only if you give your explicit consent, we use privacy-focused Matomo Analytics cookies (_pk_id.* and _pk_ses.*) to count visits and see which articles and guides are most useful. Your IP address is anonymised, and data is never shared with third parties. If you click Reject All, these cookies are never placed.
  • Embedded External Content (YouTube): Embedded videos are blocked by default using a privacy-friendly two-click placeholder. No YouTube cookies or Google tracking scripts load until you click the Load Video button.
