Cookies are small text files which are stored on your hard drive, are allocated to the browser used by you and through which certain information is sent to the body which places the cookie (in this case us). A cookie typically contains the name of the domain from which the cookie originates, the “lifetime” of the cookie, and a value, normally a unique randomly-generated number.

  • Persistent cookies (use for a limited time)
  • Third-party cookies (from third-party providers)
  • Flash cookies (permanent use)

b) Transient cookies are deleted automatically when you close the browser. These include in particular the session cookies. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests by your browser can be assigned to the shared session. As a result, your computer can be recognized when you return to the website. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser.

Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a predetermined time, which can vary depending on the cookie. You can delete these cookies any time in the security settings of your browser.

We have no influence over the data collected and data processing procedures, and do not know the full extent of the data collected, the purpose or the retention periods.

If you click on the activated button and e.g. link to the site, the provider also stores this information in your user account and officially informs your contacts of this.
