(A) What is an 🍪?
Most websites you visit use 🍪🍪🍪 to improve the user experience. They allow websites to "remember" you for the duration of your visit (using "session🍪🍪🍪") or for repeat visits (using "permanent 🍪🍪🍪").
🍪🍪🍪 can have many different functions. Using 🍪🍪🍪🍪, you can efficiently navigate between multiple websites, save your favorite settings, and generally improve your visit to a website. 🍪🍪🍪 makes the interaction between you and the website faster and easier. A website that does not use 🍪🍪🍪 will think you are a new visitor every time you switch to another page of the website: For example, if you close a menu and go to another page, the site doesn't "remember" that you closed the menu on the previous page, and displays the menu again on the next page.
Some Web sites also use 🍪🍪🍪 to tailor their advertising or marketing messages to your location or browsing habits, for example.
🍪🍪🍪 can be set either by the website you visit ("First party 🍪🍪🍪") or by other websites that operate content on the page you visit ("Third party 🍪🍪🍪").
(B) What does 🍪 consist of?
An 🍪 is a simple text file that is stored on your computer or mobile device by a website's server. This allows the server to later retrieve or read the contents of that 🍪🍪🍪. 🍪🍪🍪 are managed by your browser. Each 🍪 is unique and contains anonymous information such as a unique identifier, the name of the website, numbers and letters. This allows a website to "remember" your preferred browser settings.
(C) Types of 🍪🍪🍪
1. 🍪🍪🍪 of the operator of the website ("First party 🍪🍪🍪"):
So-called "First party 🍪🍪🍪" are set by the website you visit and can only be read by this website.
2. 🍪🍪🍪🍪 of other providers ("Third party 🍪🍪🍪"):
So-called "Third party 🍪🍪🍪" are set and used by an organization that is not the owner of the website you are visiting. For example, in order to measure the audience, a website may use another analytics company that sets its own 🍪 for this purpose. The website you visit may also contain embedded content, such as YouTube videos or Flickr presentations. These websites may also set their own 🍪🍪🍪.
More importantly, a website may use a third-party advertising network to provide targeted advertising.

3. session🍪🍪🍪
Session🍪🍪🍪 are temporarily stored during a browser session. When the browser is closed, they are deleted from the user's device.
4. permanent 🍪🍪🍪:
Permanent 🍪🍪🍪 are stored on your computer for a certain period of time (usually at least one year). They are not deleted when the browser is closed. They are used when knowledge of your identity is required for more than one browser session.
5. Flash🍪🍪🍪:
Many websites use Adobe Flash Player to display content in videos and information graphics for Internet users. Adobe uses its own 🍪🍪🍪, which you cannot manage through your browser settings. Flash Player uses them for the same purposes as other 🍪🍪🍪 sites, that is, to store preferred settings or track user activity.
Flash 🍪🍪🍪🍪 work differently than the 🍪🍪🍪 of your Internet browser. Instead of special 🍪🍪🍪 for certain functions, a website merely stores all website related data in an 🍪. You can control how much information can be stored in this 🍪. However, you cannot choose which type of information may be stored.
(D) What is a pixel-code?
A tracking pixel is a (often transparent) graphic on a website and is used to monitor the behaviour of the user who visits the website. It is often used in conjunction with 🍪🍪🍪.
This website does not use tracking pixels or similar technologies to track user activity.
(E) What is local storage?
Local storage allows Internet applications to store data locally in the Internet user's browser. Before HTML5, application data had to be stored in 🍪🍪🍪, including all server requests. Local storage is more secure, and a large amount of data can be stored locally without compromising site performance.
