You can sign up for our email newsletter by providing your first name and email address. We use this data to send you news, updates and stories about Ahab Spearfishing, including early access and product availability.

Processing is based on your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent is confirmed via a double opt-in process: after signing up, you will receive a confirmation email. Your address is only added to our list after you click the confirmation link.

Cookies and Tracking

This website uses no tracking cookies, no analytics tools, and creates no user profiles. No third-party content is loaded when you open a page. The only exception is the video on our story page, which is requested from YouTube only after you actively click play (see below).

Video (YouTube)

Our story page embeds a video hosted on YouTube. Nothing is loaded from YouTube or Google when the page opens; the preview image is served from our own server. The video itself is only requested after you actively click the play button. At that point a connection to YouTube is established and your IP address is transmitted, which is technically required to deliver the video.

We use YouTube in privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com), so no tracking cookies are set before playback. Loading the video is based on your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, given by clicking play. Provider is Google Ireland Ltd. (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Data may be transferred to Google LLC in the USA, which is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. More information: policies.google.com/privacy.
