What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small units of information, similar to text files, that can be stored and read on your device. They serve various purposes, including maintaining basic website functionality, security and privacy, providing optional website features, collecting statistical data about visitor traffic, and delivering marketing systems. Practical examples of what can be stored in cookies include saving login status in user accounts, the contents of shopping baskets on e-commerce platforms, or a user ID to track behaviour on the website. Information can be stored technically in various ways. The best-known examples are HTTP cookies and similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, or IndexedDB. Each type of storage has different characteristics that determine technical handling, accessibility, and the controllers authorised to access the information. All these types of storage are generally referred to as “cookies” and are therefore also called that in this Cookie Policy.
