It is often criticized that cookies are not compatible with data protection. Many cookies record certain aspects of surfing behavior. This information is then used, among other things, for personalized advertising. In contrast to technical cookies, these are tracking or targeting cookies, which can often be very helpful for you so that you receive optimized offers.
We use advanced cookie opt-in on our site.
This means that you must expressly accept their use before a tracking cookie is activated. Otherwise, only the technical cookie is used.
Even with a tracking cookie, the data is stored anonymously. Because a cookie usually contains information about the lifespan of the text file and a randomly generated number that is used to recognize your computer. Personal data can only be collected if the relevant page requires a log-in and you have activated this.
