USE OF COOKIES
COOKIES ARE TEXT FILES THAT CONTAIN DATA FROM VISITED WEBSITES OR DOMAINS AND ARE STORED BY A BROWSER ON THE USER’S COMPUTER. A COOKIE IS PRIMARILY USED TO STORE INFORMATION ABOUT A USER DURING OR AFTER HIS OR HER VISIT WITHIN AN ONLINE OFFER. THE STORED INFORMATION MAY INCLUDE, FOR EXAMPLE, THE LANGUAGE SETTINGS ON A WEBSITE, THE LOGIN STATUS, A SHOPPING CART OR THE LOCATION WHERE A VIDEO WAS WATCHED. THE TERM COOKIES ALSO INCLUDES OTHER TECHNOLOGIES THAT PERFORM THE SAME FUNCTIONS AS COOKIES (E.G. WHEN USER INFORMATION IS STORED USING PSEUDONYMOUS ONLINE IDENTIFIERS, ALSO KNOWN AS “USER IDS”).
THE FOLLOWING COOKIE TYPES AND FUNCTIONS ARE DISTINGUISHED:
TEMPORARY COOKIES (ALSO: SESSION COOKIES): TEMPORARY COOKIES ARE DELETED AT THE LATEST AFTER A USER HAS LEFT AN ONLINE OFFER AND CLOSED HIS BROWSER.
PERMANENT COOKIES: PERMANENT COOKIES REMAIN STORED EVEN AFTER THE BROWSER IS CLOSED. FOR EXAMPLE, THE LOGIN STATUS CAN BE SAVED OR PREFERRED CONTENT CAN BE DISPLAYED DIRECTLY WHEN THE USER VISITS A WEBSITE AGAIN. USER INTERESTS THAT ARE USED FOR REACH MEASUREMENT OR MARKETING PURPOSES MAY ALSO BE STORED IN SUCH A COOKIE.
FIRST-PARTY COOKIES: FIRST-PARTY COOKIES ARE SET BY US.
THIRD-PARTY COOKIES: THIRD-PARTY COOKIES ARE MAINLY USED BY ADVERTISERS (SO-CALLED THIRD PARTIES) TO PROCESS USER INFORMATION.
NECESSARY (ALSO: ESSENTIAL OR ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY) COOKIES: COOKIES MAY BE ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY FOR THE OPERATION OF A WEBSITE (E.G. TO SAVE LOGINS OR OTHER USER ENTRIES OR FOR SECURITY REASONS).
STATISTICAL, MARKETING AND PERSONALISATION COOKIES: COOKIES ARE ALSO GENERALLY USED TO MEASURE REACH AND WHEN A USER’S INTERESTS OR BEHAVIOUR (E.G. VIEWING CERTAIN CONTENT, USING FUNCTIONS, ETC.) ON INDIVIDUAL WEBSITES ARE STORED IN A USER PROFILE. SUCH PROFILES ARE USED, FOR EXAMPLE, TO DISPLAY CONTENT TO USERS THAT CORRESPONDS TO THEIR POTENTIAL INTERESTS. THIS PROCESS IS ALSO KNOWN AS “TRACKING”, I.E. FOLLOWING THE POTENTIAL INTERESTS OF USERS. TO THE EXTENT THAT WE USE COOKIES OR TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES, WE WILL INFORM YOU SEPARATELY IN OUR PRIVACY POLICY OR IN THE CONTEXT OF OBTAINING CONSENT.
NOTES ON LEGAL BASES: THE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA USING COOKIES DEPENDS ON WHETHER WE ASK YOU FOR CONSENT. IF SO, AND YOU CONSENT TO THE USE OF COOKIES, THE LEGAL BASIS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA IS THE CONSENT GIVEN. OTHERWISE, DATA PROCESSED USING COOKIES WILL BE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF OUR LEGITIMATE INTERESTS (E.G. IN THE BUSINESS OPERATION AND IMPROVEMENT OF OUR ONLINE SERVICES) OR IF THE USE OF COOKIES IS NECESSARY TO FULFIL OUR CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS.
STORAGE PERIOD: IF WE DO NOT PROVIDE YOU WITH EXPLICIT INFORMATION ON THE STORAGE PERIOD OF PERMANENT COOKIES (E.G. IN THE CONTEXT OF A SO-CALLED COOKIE-OPT-IN), PLEASE ASSUME THAT THE STORAGE PERIOD CAN BE UP TO TWO YEARS.
GENERAL INFORMATION ON REVOCATION AND OPT-OUT: DEPENDING ON WHETHER THE PROCESSING IS BASED ON CONSENT OR LEGAL PERMISSION, YOU HAVE THE POSSIBILITY AT ANY TIME TO REVOKE A GIVEN CONSENT OR TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA BY COOKIE TECHNOLOGIES (COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS “OPT-OUT”). YOU CAN INITIALLY DECLARE YOUR OBJECTION BY MEANS OF THE SETTINGS OF YOUR BROWSER, E.G. BY DEACTIVATING THE USE OF COOKIES (WHEREBY THIS MAY ALSO RESTRICT THE FUNCTIONALITY OF OUR ONLINE OFFER). AN OBJECTION TO THE USE OF COOKIES FOR ONLINE MARKETING PURPOSES CAN ALSO BE DECLARED VIA A VARIETY OF SERVICES, ESPECIALLY IN THE CASE OF TRACKING, VIA THE WEBSITES HTTPS://OPTOUT.ABOUTADS.INFO AND HTTPS://WWW.YOURONLINECHOICES.COM/. IN ADDITION, YOU CAN RECEIVE FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO OBJECT IN THE CONTEXT OF THE INFORMATION ON THE SERVICE PROVIDERS AND COOKIES USED.
PROCESSING OF COOKIE DATA ON THE BASIS OF CONSENT: WE USE A COOKIE CONSENT MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF WHICH THE USER’S CONSENT TO THE USE OF COOKIES OR THE PROCESSING AND PROVIDERS NAMED IN THE COOKIE CONSENT MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE CAN BE OBTAINED AND MANAGED AND REVOKED BY THE USER. THE DECLARATION OF CONSENT IS STORED IN ORDER NOT TO HAVE TO REPEAT THE REQUEST AND TO BE ABLE TO PROVE THE CONSENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LEGAL OBLIGATION. THE STORAGE CAN TAKE PLACE ON THE SERVER SIDE AND/OR IN A COOKIE (SO-CALLED OPT-IN COOKIE, OR WITH THE HELP OF COMPARABLE TECHNOLOGIES), IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO ASSIGN THE CONSENT TO A USER OR THEIR DEVICE. SUBJECT TO INDIVIDUAL INFORMATION ON THE PROVIDERS OF COOKIE MANAGEMENT SERVICES, THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION APPLIES: THE DURATION OF THE STORAGE OF THE CONSENT CAN BE UP TO TWO YEARS. A PSEUDONYMOUS USER IDENTIFIER IS CREATED AND STORED WITH THE TIME OF CONSENT, INFORMATION ABOUT THE SCOPE OF CONSENT (E.G. WHICH CATEGORIES OF COOKIES AND/OR SERVICE PROVIDERS) AND THE BROWSER, SYSTEM AND TERMINAL DEVICE USED.
