The most common types of cookies are explained below for your understanding:

1. Session cookies

While you are active on a website, a session cookie is temporarily stored in your computer's memory, in which a session identifier is stored, e.g. to prevent you from having to log in again each time you change pages. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or lose their validity as soon as your session has automatically expired.

2. Permanent or protocol cookies

A persistent or protocol cookie stores a file on your computer for the period specified in the expiration date. These cookies enable websites to remember your information and settings on your next visit. This leads to faster and more convenient access, as you do not have to set your language preferences for our portal again, for example. Once the expiration date has passed, the cookie is automatically deleted when you visit the website that generated it.

3. Third-party cookies

Third-party cookies originate from providers other than the operator of the website. They can be used, for example, to collect information for advertising, user-defined content and web statistics.

4. Flash cookies

Flash cookies are stored as data elements of websites on your computer if they are operated with Adobe Flash. Flash cookies have no time limit.
