3. What Cookies do we use?
General Overview
We generally use Cookies belonging to the following categories:
Technically Essential
Required web technologies and cookies make our website technically accessible to and usable for you. This applies to fundamental base functionalities such as navigation on the website, correct display in your internet browser or requesting your consent. Without these web technologies and cookies our website does not work.
Marketing
We use web technologies (also cookies) from selected partners in order to be able to show you content and advertising specially tailored to you on websites and social media sites. This content is selected and displayed on the basis of your usage behavior.
Personalisation
These items allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features.
Analytics
We want to constantly improve the user-friendliness and performance of our websites. For this reason, we use analysis technologies (including cookies) which pseudonymously measure and evaluate which functions and content of our websites are used, how and how often. On this basis we can improve our websites for users.
Unclassified
Unclassified cookies are cookies that we are in the process of classifying, together with the providers of individual cookies.
2. Storage period
Cookies may also save files for a longer period or temporarily on your device. Permanent Cookies store a file on your end device for a particular period until the Cookie’s expiry date (or until you delete it). They store e.g. language settings so that you don’t have to configure them repeatedly for our website.
Session Cookies temporarily store a session ID while you are active on our website. This prevents you from having to login again if you change pages, for instance. Session Cookies are deleted when you log out, or lose their validity as soon as your session has expired.
3. First / Third Party Cookies
A First Party Cookie is referred to as a Cookie implemented by us as a controller (which shall have the same meaning as a responsible party in other jurisdictions) or our processors (which shall have the same meaning as an operator in other jurisdictions). Silencio Network operating the website (see imprint) is responsible for the data processing. Silencio Network operating the website processes the data collected from the First Party Cookies for its own purposes, regardless of whether it programmed the Cookie itself or implemented the Cookie of another legal entity.
A Third Party Cookie is a Cookie that is set by a third party other than Silencio Network operating the website that you are currently visiting, for instance by our services provider. Third Party Cookies originate from various domains of third parties who can flexibly use the Cookies to track user behavior on our website and across other third-party websites outside the third party's offer (especially for user-specific advertising). When you visit a website where the advertising network places advertisements, the advertisements on that website may place a Third Party Cookie on your device. That Cookie usually stores the number of page visits and the length of time you have been there. If you revisit a website on which the advertiser's advertisement is also placed, the advertiser can recognise you by means of the Cookie and, thanks to the information collected, offer you individual advertisements of its own. While we allow third parties to access the site to install these Cookies on users' devices, we do not retain control over the time these Third Party Cookies will be stored in your devices. The data collected from the Cookie is processed by the third party for its own purposes as an individual controller pursuant to their corresponding privacy and cookies policy or as a joint controller together with us. This also includes Third Party Cookies from third party social networks, which enable sharing information with the respective social networks.
