What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that is stored by a website on your computer, phone or other devices with information about your browsing behaviour on this website. Cookies are necessary to make navigation easier and more user-friendly. They do not cause any damage to your computer. Although the general term "cookie" is used in this data protection policy, as this is the main storage method used for information on this website, "local storage" of temporary internet files in the browser will be used for the same purposes as cookies. Accordingly, all information contained in this section also applies to "local storage".
There are two different types of cookies: Session and Persistent. They are used for different things and contain different information.
Session cookies exist only during one session and contain information that is used within your current browser session. These cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser or turn off your computer. Nothing is persisted on your machine beyond the time you spend on the site.
Persistent cookies remain on your computer or mobile device even after you close your browser or turn off your computer. Persistent cookies are used to hold information that is used between visits and make it possible to recognize you during subsequent visits to the website or application and react accordingly. Persistent cookies remain on your device until their end date is reached, until a new cookie is installed or until you delete them in the settings of your browser, application or mobile device.
