In general, a cookie is a small text and number file that the website can send and store in your web browser, on your mobile device and/or on the hard drive of your computer during your visit to the website. Cookies help us, for example, to remember your preferences when using the website, so that we can immediately set these preferences as default when you revisit the website.   

 

There are different types of cookies:

 

• Essential or strictly necessary cookies are (as their name indicates) necessary to be able to use a website. They ensure, for example, that a certain connection can be established.  These cookies can be used without your prior consent. 

 

• Functional cookies are cookies that enable a website to offer certain functions you have requested.  They contain information about your choices and preferences on our website (e.g. cookies for remembering log-in or registration details, your language preference, products in your shopping cart). These cookies can be used without your prior consent.
