5. Cookies

Tidst exclusively uses essential cookies, which are necessary for the service to function correctly. These cookies are used for authentication and session management. We do not use any tracking, analytics or marketing cookies. Since we only use essential cookies, no separate consent is required.

We retain your data as long as you have an active account with Tidst. If you delete your account, we delete your personal data immediately, unless we are legally obligated to retain it longer. However, we retain a record of email addresses that have used a free trial, even after account deletion, to prevent trial abuse. This is based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
