What exactly are cookies?
Whenever you surf the Internet, you use a browser. Well-known browsers include, for example, Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Internet Explorer. Most websites store small text files in your browser. These files are called cookies.
One thing cannot be denied: cookies are really useful little helpers. Almost all websites use cookies. More precisely, these are HTTP cookies, as there are also other cookies for other areas of application. HTTP cookies are small files that our website stores on your computer. These cookies are automatically placed in the cookie folder, which is the “brain” of your browser. A cookie consists of a name and a value. When a cookie is defined, at least one attribute must also be specified.
Cookies store certain user data, such as language settings or personal page settings. When you visit our website again, your browser transmits the “user-related” information back to our website. Thanks to cookies, our website knows who you are and offers you the default settings. In some browsers each cookie has its own file, while in others, such as Firefox, all cookies are stored in a single file.
What types of cookies are there?
Which cookies we use in particular depends on the services used and is explained in the following sections of the privacy statement. At this point we would like to briefly discuss the different types of HTTP cookies.
There are 4 types of cookies:
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are necessary to ensure the basic functions of the website. For example, these cookies are needed when a user puts a product in the shopping cart, then continues browsing other pages and only later proceeds to the checkout. These cookies do not delete the shopping cart, even if the user closes the browser window.
Functional cookies
These cookies collect information about user behaviour and about whether the user receives any error messages. These cookies are also used to measure the loading time and behaviour of the website in different browsers.
Target-oriented cookies
These cookies ensure better user-friendliness. For example, saved locations, font sizes or form data are stored.
Advertising cookies
These cookies are also called targeting cookies. They are used to deliver personalised advertising to the user. This can be very practical, but also annoying.
When you visit a website for the first time, you are usually asked which of these types of cookies you want to allow. And, of course, this decision is also stored in a cookie.
How can I delete cookies?
You decide yourself how and whether you want to use cookies. Regardless of which service or website the cookies come from, you always have the option of deleting them, allowing them only partially or deactivating them. For example, you can block third-party cookies but allow all other cookies.
If you want to find out which cookies have been stored in your browser, or if you want to change or delete cookie settings, you can do so in your browser settings:
