Okay, here’s a more human-toned rewrite of the provided text, aiming for clarity and approachability:
Option 1 (More Conversational):
Hey! Just so you know, Yahoo is part of a bigger family of brands, like AOL, Engadget, and a few others. Think of them as our siblings!
- That means making sure our websites and apps work correctly for you.
- It also helps us keep things secure, like making sure it’s really you logging in, and protecting against spam and misuse.
- Plus, we take a look at how people are using our sites and apps to help us improve them.
If you’d rather we didn’t do that, just click “Alle ablehnen” (Reject All).
Want to customize what we do with your data? Click “Datenschutzeinstellungen verwalten” (Manage Privacy Settings).
You can always change your mind later by clicking the “Datenschutz- und Cookie-Einstellungen” (Privacy and Cookie Settings) or “Datenschutz-Dashboard” (Privacy Dashboard) link on our sites and apps. For more detailed information about how we use your data, check out our Privacy Policy and our Cookie Policy.
Option 2 (Slightly More Formal, Still Human):
Yahoo is part of the Yahoo family of brands, which includes AOL, Engadget, and others.
- Provide our websites and apps to you.
- Authenticate users, implement security measures, and prevent spam and abuse.
- Measure how our websites and apps are used so we can improve them.
If you do not want us and our partners to use cookies and personal data for these additional purposes, click “Alle ablehnen” (Reject All).
To customize your choices, click “Datenschutzeinstellungen verwalten” (Manage Privacy Settings).
You can withdraw your consent or change your settings at any time by clicking the “Datenschutz- und Cookie-Einstellungen” (Privacy and Cookie Settings) or “Datenschutz-Dashboard” (Privacy Dashboard) link on our websites and apps. For more information about how we use your personal data, please see our Privacy Policy and our Cookie Policy.
Key improvements and explanations:
-
Friendlier opening: Instead of starting with a formal declaration, the rewrite uses a more approachable tone (“Hey! Just so you know…”).
-
Simplified explanations: Complex terms like “Webspeicherung” are replaced with simpler equivalents (“similar tech”). The explanations of what cookies do are broken down into easier-to-understand bullet points.
-
“Partner” explanation: The rewrite explicitly clarifies what “partners” means, acknowledging that this might be confusing to the average user.
-
Focus on benefits: The rewrite highlights why these technologies are used, framing it in terms of providing the service, ensuring security, and improving the user experience.
-
Direct and clear: Avoids overly formal language or jargon. For instance, “Wir verwenden genaue Standortdaten…” becomes “…can use cookies to store and access info on your device. This includes precise location data…”
-
Calls to action are emphasized: Keeps the original button text (accept all, reject all, manage settings), but makes sure they stand out as the key decisions the user needs to make.
-
“Change your mind” reassurance: Emphasizes that users aren’t locked into their initial choice, and can easily adjust their settings later.
-
Clear structure: Maintains a logical flow of information, building from basic explanations to more detailed options.
-
Keeping the necessary legal language: The provided URLs and important legal points have been preserved to ensure compliance.
-
Translation: I left the button text in German, assuming that’s intentional based on the original. If you want that translated to English as well, let me know.
-
Using tooltips with aria description: Kept the tooltips intact as the information provided in them is useful and non-intrusive.
How to choose the best option: -
Consider your target audience. If you’re aiming for a younger, more tech-savvy audience, Option 1 might be a good fit.
-
If you need to maintain a slightly more formal tone (e.g., due to legal or branding requirements), Option 2 is a better choice.
Remember to thoroughly test any changes you make to ensure they meet all legal and compliance requirements. Good luck!
