Addendum to the privacy policy
This cookie policy supplements this website’s privacy policy. The cookie policy sets out how a website uses cookies and what data it collects through them, whilst the privacy policy provides a more comprehensive overview of all data processing activities on the website and beyond.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small pieces of information, similar to text files, that can be stored and read on the user’s device. They serve various purposes, including maintaining the website’s basic functionality, ensuring security and privacy, providing optional website features, collecting statistical data on visitor traffic, and supporting marketing systems. Practical examples of what can be stored in cookies include the login status for user accounts, the contents of shopping baskets on e-commerce platforms, or a user ID for tracking behaviour on the website.
Technically, the information can be stored in various ways. The best-known examples of this are HTTP cookies and cookie-like technologies such as local storage, session storage or IndexedDB. Each type of storage has different properties, which determine how it is technically handled, its accessibility, and which controllers are authorised to access the information. All these types of storage are usually grouped under the term "cookies" and are therefore referred to as such in this cookie policy.
What is the legal basis for setting and reading cookies?
The setting and reading of cookies in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) is in accordance with Art. 5 (3) ePrivacy Directive and Recital 66 ePrivacy Directive is only permitted if a user has given their consent on the basis of comprehensive information about the purposes of the processing. The website operator may also set cookies if they are strictly necessary to provide you, as a user, with the service you have expressly requested – for example, the basic content of this website or other strictly necessary cookies required for the website’s basic functionality – without your consent.
What rights do website visitors have?
Services and their cookies may be set and read on the legal basis of your consent or a legitimate interest. When you first visited this website, you were asked for your consent and had the opportunity to object to the use of certain services. We explained which legal basis applies to which service in our consent dialogue.
You have the right to view your decision history, change your privacy settings, object to the use of services and withdraw your consent at any time. Below are the options available to you for exercising your rights:
How do you manage cookies in a browser?
- How to delete cookies in a browser: To remove cookies from your device, you can clear your browsing data in your browser’s settings. This will remove all cookies from all the websites you have visited, which may include saved login details and site preferences. In some browsers, you can simply delete cookies and similar data without deleting your entire browsing history.
- How to manage cookies in a browser: For more detailed control over cookies specific to certain websites, go to the privacy and cookie settings in your browser. Here, you can adjust your preferences regarding individual websites' use of cookies.
- How to block cookies in a browser: It is possible to configure most modern browsers in their settings to block all cookies from being stored on your device. However, blocking cookies may mean that certain services and features do not work correctly, such as logging in as a user. You can also use browser extensions for many browsers that block cookies from being set on websites.
- How to manage cookies on this website: To customise your cookie settings on this website, you can change your preferences at any time by clicking on the link in the "Visitor rights" section.
You can find more information on how cookies are handled devowl.io/rcb/cookie-handling/.
What types of cookies are there?
- Essential cookies are essential for the basic functionality of a website and enable features such as saving login details or accessing secure areas of the site. These include, for example, security cookies, which can identify an unwanted bot on the website by storing an authentication key in a cookie.
- Functional cookies improve the user experience by storing information and preferences, such as language settings or website appearance settings, to provide a personalised experience. This includes, for example, preference cookies that store the user’s preferred video quality on a website.
- Statistics cookies collect data on the use of a website to gain insights into user behaviour and optimise the site’s performance. This includes, for example, a randomly assigned user ID that makes it possible to determine whether you have visited a subpage of the website.
- Marketing cookies are used to track user behaviour across different websites and to display personalised advertising based on users’ interests and browsing behaviour. This includes, for example, advertising cookies that record an interaction with an advert on the website and pass this information on to advertisers, or a chat system for pre-sales enquiries and customer support.
Who can set cookies on this website?
On this website, both the website operator and third-party services used on this website may set cookies and access their content. Who can access which cookies and their content differs between first-party and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are created by the website you are visiting and can only be read by the website operator and any third-party services integrated into this website. Third-party cookies are usually set by third-party services on other domains; they can be read on all websites on which the service controlling the domain is embedded and are used, for example, by advertising networks to track user behaviour across different websites and to offer personalised advertising.
