Cookies are text files that contain data from visited websites or domains and stored from a browser on the user's computer.

The following cookie types and functions are distinguished:

  • Temporary cookies (also: session or 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 closing the browser. For example, the login status can be stored or preferred contents are displayed directly when the user visits a website again. Likewise, the interests of users used for range measurement or marketing purposes can be stored in such a cookie.
