What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are sent when a website is visited and stored in the browser of the user device. If the corresponding website is called up again, the browser sends back the content of the cookies and thus enables recognition of the user device. Certain cookies are automatically deleted at the end of the browser session (so-called session cookies), others are stored for a specified time or permanently in the browser of the user device and then delete themselves automatically (so-called temporary or permanent cookies).

As a rule, cookies do not store any data that makes you directly identifiable as a person (e.g., no names, e-mail addresses or IP addresses). Instead, cookies typically contain a code (so-called identifier) as well as information on the storage period and possibly also certain technical features (e.g. security functions).

These technologies are used, for example, to enable basic website functions or to provide you with multimedia content that meets the technical requirements of your terminal device.
