We like to think "abmahnen" was a particularity of German law - but it is not. Americans know it as the "Cease and Desist"-letter.

When you now do what was the right thing to do to begin with - not introducing third-party tracking from unreliable countries - then all is well.

AFAIK the German version always comes with a bill for a few hundred euros to “cover the lawyers time”

Nope. The german version can come with a bill, but that is not strictly a requirement - and it's only legitimate if it does come from a law firm (you could theoretically send a Abmahnung without the help of a lawyer).

Interesting, thanks! I guess I’ve only read the horror stories
