4. Categories of Cookies and Similar Technologies

4.1 What web technologies the website may use

Cookies are text files that websites store on or read from your end device. They contain combinations of letters and numbers in order to be able, for example, to recognize the user and his settings when reconnecting to the website that set the cookie, to allow him to remain logged in to the customer account or to statistically analyze certain usage behavior.

WebStorage technology allows to store variables and values locally in the user's browser cache. This technology includes both the so-called "sessionStorage", which remains stored until the browser tab is closed, and the "localStorage", which is stored in the browser’s cache until the user clears the cache. The localStorage technology allows, among other things, to recognize the user and his settings when accessing our website.

Pixel tags are small graphic files that are retrieved from the servers of the respective service provider when our website is called up. This also loads the program code through which data is collected (e.g. about your behavior on our website).

4.2 Cookie Categories

We use cookies for different purposes and with different functions. Depending on how long the cookie will be stored and used (storage period) and whether it was stored by our website or by a third party or by another provider (hereinafter referred to as "cookie provider") and for what purpose cookies are used, we distinguish the following categories:
