Cookies

Our website uses HTTP cookies to store user-specific data.
Below, we explain what cookies are and why they are used, so that you can better understand the following privacy policy.

What Exactly Are Cookies?

Whenever you browse the internet, you use a web browser. Common browsers include Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Edge. Most websites store small text files in your browser. These files are called cookies.

One thing is undeniable: cookies are very useful tools. Almost all websites use cookies. More specifically, they use HTTP cookies, as there are also other types of cookies for different applications. HTTP cookies are small files that are stored on your computer by our website. These cookie files are automatically stored in the cookie folder, which can be considered the "memory" of your browser. A cookie consists of a name and a value. When defining a cookie, one or more attributes must also be specified.

Cookies store certain user-related information, such as language preferences or personal page settings. When you revisit our website, your browser transmits the "user-related" information back to our website. Thanks to cookies, our website recognizes you and provides the settings you are accustomed to. In some browsers, each cookie is stored in a separate file, while in others, such as Firefox, all cookies are stored in a single file.

There are both first-party cookies and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are created directly by our website, while third-party cookies are created by partner websites (e.g. Google Analytics). Each cookie must be evaluated individually because each one stores different types of data. The expiration period of a cookie also varies, ranging from a few minutes to several years. Cookies are not software programs and do not contain viruses, trojans, or other malicious software. Cookies also cannot access information stored on your computer.

For example, cookie data may look as follows:

Name: _ga
Value: GA1.2.1326744211.152111371659-9
Purpose: Distinguishing website visitors
Expiration date: After 2 years

A browser should be able to support at least the following minimum sizes:

• At least 4096 bytes per cookie
• At least 50 cookies per domain
• At least 3000 cookies in total

What Types of Cookies Are There?

The specific cookies we use depend on the services used and are explained in the following sections of this privacy policy. At this point, we would like to briefly explain the different types of HTTP cookies.

There are four types of cookies:

Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary to ensure the basic functionality of the website. For example, these cookies are needed when a user adds a product to a shopping cart, continues browsing other pages, and later proceeds to checkout. These cookies ensure that the shopping cart is not deleted even if the user closes the browser window.

Functional Cookies
These cookies collect information about user behavior and whether the user receives any error messages. They are also used to measure loading times and website behavior across different browsers.

Targeted Cookies
These cookies improve user experience. For example, entered locations, font sizes, or form data may be stored.

Advertising Cookies
These cookies are also referred to as targeting cookies. They are used to provide users with individually tailored advertising. This can be very practical, but also annoying.

When you first visit a website, you are usually asked which types of cookies you would like to allow. Naturally, this decision is also stored in a cookie.

How Can I Delete Cookies?

You decide for yourself how and whether you want to use cookies. Regardless of which service or website the cookies originate from, you always have the option to delete, deactivate, or partially allow cookies. For example, you can block third-party cookies while allowing all other cookies.

If you want to find out which cookies are stored in your browser, or if you want to change or delete cookie settings, you can find this in your browser settings:

If you generally do not want cookies, you can configure your browser to notify you whenever a cookie is about to be set. This allows you to decide individually whether to allow each cookie. The procedure varies depending on the browser. The best approach is to search Google for instructions using terms such as "delete cookies Chrome" or "disable cookies Chrome" if you are using the Chrome browser.

What About Data Protection?

The so-called "Cookie Directives" have existed since 2009. These directives state that storing cookies requires your consent. However, there are still very different interpretations and implementations of these directives within EU member states. In Austria, this directive was implemented in Section 96 para. 3 of the Telecommunications Act (TKG).
