The following are the most common types of cookies for your understanding:
1. Session cookies
While you are active on a website, a session cookie is temporarily stored in the memory of your computer in which a session ID is stored, for example, to avoid having to log in each time you switch pages. Session cookies are deleted at logoff or lose their validity as soon as their session expires automatically.
2. Permanent or tracking cookies
A permanent or tracking cookie stores a file on your computer for a specific period of time. With these cookies websites remember your information and settings the next time you visit. This leads to a faster and more convenient access because, for example, you do not have to change your language setting for our portal again. When the expiration date expires, the cookie will be automatically deleted when you visit the website that created it.
3. Third-party cookies
Third-party cookies are provided by other providers than the operator of the website. For example, they can be used to collect information for advertising, custom content, and web statistics.
