General Information about Cookies (Types & Functions)
In addition to our general privacy policy, we would like to explain cookies and their types and functions in more detail. Thus, you can better decide which cookies you want to agree or disagree with. The permissibility for the setting or reading of cookies is basically defined in Art. 5 (3) of Directive 2002/58/EC. If personal data is processed with the use of non-technical cookies, then the GDPR also applies.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on the end device (PC, tablet, phone) and saved by your browser. Cookies do not cause any damage to your terminal device and serve to enable a more comfortable use of the website.
Types & Functions of Cookies
We must differentiate by whom the cookies are set:
- If cookies are set by the web server responsible for the website itself, then this is called a first-party cookie.
- If cookies are set by a third-party web server when you visit a website, then we speak of third-party cookies.
Cookies can also be differentiated according to their lifetime:
- Session cookies are only stored temporarily and deleted when the website is left.
- Permanent cookies are stored in the user’s browser permanently or for a longer period of time.
From a technical point of view, there are also http cookies or web cookies:
- Http cookies or web cookies are tied to the browser you are using.
- In addition, there are Flash cookies, which are not bound to the browser, but to a Flash player.
