Cookies are files that are stored in the user's browser when they visit a website and are sent back to the website each time it is accessed. This allows a user to be identified, even if they open a new window or reload the page. Cookies can be used to track users and create behavioural profiles for targeted advertising or to sell the collected data to brokers. However, there are also technically necessary cookies that are used, for example, to enable logging in with a user account and to enable a session across multiple tabs.
No, fortunately this is not permitted. According to the German DSGVO, the website operator must first obtain the user's consent. This is usually done via so-called cookie banners, which ask for permission to process personal data.
Quite simply, we do not use cookies for tracking purposes, regardless of their form. Where possible, we do not use cookies on our website at all and only use them where technically necessary, e.g. to log in to our services. We do not track any user behaviour and do not pass on any data to third parties. This means that there is nothing for which we need to ask permission and we can save you the hassle of a cookie banner.
