Cookies and similar technologies:

What are cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies?

Generally, cookies are text files (usually made up of letters and numbers) that are downloaded onto your computer, tablet, smartphone or other device (hereinafter referred to as “device”) when you visit our website. Such files allow us to collect certain information when you interact with our website, services (newsletters) and applications. We use most of them to optimise the performance of our website and to continuously improve our platform, products and services. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise your devices..

There are many specific types of cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies that are used and their names may change from time to time. To help you better understand cookies and their functions and the use of such technologies, we would like to explain this in more detail below.

The term cookie or tracking tool describes many different technologies, such as the following:

1. Session und permanente (persistent) cookies;
2. Flash und HTML 5 Cookies;
3. Java Script Snippets;
4. Web Beacons or Gifs (also ClearGIFs, Tracking-Pixels or Pixel-Tags, Skript, Page-Tags);
5. Other device identifiers;
6. Other analyitc tools, without direct settings of cookies.
7. In this cookie policy we use the term “cookie” or “similar technologies” to cover all types of such technologies. We will also provide you with necessary details about specific cookies and how you can adjust your settings with regard to these technologies.

About Cookies:

What types of cookies are there and what purpose do they serve??

Types of cookies:

Session Cookies: das These are temporary cookie files that are only active during a browser session and are deleted after the browser is closed (“session cookies”). When you visit the website again, you will not be recognised.wiedererkannt.

Persistent cookies: these are cookie files that are stored in the subfolders of your browser for a longer period of time until you delete them manually or your browser deletes them automatically based on the time period contained in the cookie (“persistent cookies”). As a rule, the storage period for persistent cookies is between 30 days and 2 years (this does not necessarily apply to cookies from third-party providers, see 11).First-Party Cookies: das sind Cookies die direkt von der Website die du gerade besuchst gespeichert werden, z.B. durch uns oder einen von uns beauftragen Dritten (“First-Party Cookies”).

Third-party cookies: these are cookies that are not set by the website you are visiting but by third-party providers that this website only uses to set their cookies (“third-party cookies”).

Cookie ID:

Cookies can contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of a cookie. These consist of a string of characters that websites and servers associate with a person’s specific internet browser in which this cookie was stored. This allows websites to distinguish the individual browser from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can thus be recognised and identified via the unique cookie ID. However, the person himself cannot be identified via such cookies (although exceptions may be possible for special third-party tools, see also 11). As is the case with most session cookies, there are also cookies without a cookie ID. In addition, some tools can recognise visitors via “device fingerprinting” and similar technologies.

Categories and purposes of cookies:

Cookies have many different purposes and are used by us for many important functions on our website. In the following, we would like to explain these categories, purposes and functions in more detail.

Essential Cookies: Such cookies may be session or persistent cookies and are necessary to provide you with our services. Such cookies and similar
technologies are essential to enable our websites to display the settings you have made and for correct navigation through the website. In addition, we use such cookies for security reasons as well as for the general provision of our services and to offer our products (e.g. affiliate programme and bonus programme). They are generally set after actions you take before and after logging in to our website that correspond to a customer request. These cookies allow us to store your privacy and language settings, as well as other customisations in your account when you are logged in with them. Thus, as a user of the website, you do not have to re-enter your login details each time you visit the website, as this is done by the website and the cookie stored in your browser. In the area of security, such technologies help us to identify and check potentially erroneous or suspicious access to our websites, user accounts and network (e.g. prevention of identity theft, bot attacks, fraud, etc.). Such technologies also enable us to detect technical problems on our website (e.g. crash reports). Essential cookies are provided by us or by third parties whose services we implement on our website (e.g. reCHAPTCHA, Sentry, Sift Science). If you block such cookies with your browser, we will not be able to provide you with our services.

Performance cookies: Such cookies and similar technologies (analytics tools) are used to generate information about visitors to our website (number, frequency, preferences, etc.) and how visitors use our website, so that we can measure and continually improve the performance of our website, including our services. They also help us to find out which pages and parts of our website are the most popular and which are the least popular, and how visitors move around the website in general. This helps us to further improve the functioning of our platform and the general user experience. In addition, analytics tools may use cookies to improve the performance of the website itself. The cookies may be session or persistent cookies. Any data collected by such tools is only received by us in aggregate form and this is therefore anonymous to us (this does not necessarily apply to third parties, see 11). These cookies and similar technologies are provided by us or by third parties whose services are implemented on our sites. Blocking such cookies and tools via your browser or opting out will not affect the services offered to you. However, it makes it much more difficult for us to continue to improve the user experience that our customers value so much.

Advertisement cookies: Most of these cookies are persistent cookies from third-party providers whose applications are implemented on our website.
Among other things, such cookies allow us to deliver advertisements that are tailored to you and your interests (also known as “customised advertising”). We can also use such tools to track our marketing campaigns (e.g. conversion tracking). Furthermore, such cookies can limit the number of times you see a particular ad and generally make advertising more effective for you. Such cookies may collect information about you and your browsing habits, such as the pages you visit and the links you follow. Advertising networks often set such cookies with the consent of the website operator, and they may link directly to these companies’ websites. In this way, these third parties can track your browser across other websites and build a profile with your interests, this is particularly the case if you are logged into your social media accounts while browsing. This may also affect the content you see on other websites you visit.
Such advertising tools also allow us to deliver ads to people on other websites or social media if they have previously visited our website (also known as “retargeting”). We only receive all data collected by such tools in aggregated form and these are therefore anonymous to us (this does not necessarily apply to third parties, see). Blocking these cookies and similar technologies through your browser or opting out will not affect the services we provide to you. However, you will still see advertisements, but they will no longer be personalised for you, making them less relevant to you.

Andere racking technologies: Files or codes such as pixels, scripts, web beacons, gifs or page tags may be implemented in emails (e.g. newsletters), apps or ads to record your interaction with us so that we can analyse and improve our services and campaigns. You can generally block the use of such technologies by adjusting either your browser or device settings (see 9). As long as you use this browser, these settings should apply to all such technologies, whether they are used on a website or in an email. However, depending on your email and browser settings, such files may be accepted automatically in some cases. Blocking such cookies and similar technologies will not affect the services provided to you.

Mobile App Tracking: When you use our mobile app, we may store individual information associated with your device (such as operating system, IP address, browser type, device type, unique device identification number), as well as activity within the app and network location. This information is used to measure and continuously improve the performance and usability of the mobile app.

Personal data:

In principle, cookies are not used to process personal data and we cannot identify you by means of cookies. However, in some cases, data collected through cookies may be considered personal data, in which case we would process personal data.
