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

1. Session Cookies

While you are active on a website, a session cookie will be temporarily stored in your computer's memory, where a session ID is stored, to prevent you from having to log in again each time you change pages, for example. Session cookies will be deleted when you log out or will automatically lose their validity once your session expires.

2. Permanent or log Cookies

A permanent or log cookie stores a file on your computer for period specified in the expiration date. These cookies enable websites to remember your information and settings the next time you visit them. This leads to faster and more convenient access, as you do not have to change your language settings for our portal, for example. When the expiry date is reached, the cookie will be deleted automatically when you visit the website that generated it.

3. Third-Party Cookies

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