The Website uses so-called "cookies." Cookies are small files that are stored on the user's computer when visiting a website. Cookies can store various types of data and help to provide additional functionality (thus making the website more user-friendly, effective and secure overall). If cookies are used, they contain pseudonymised data, unless you have given your express consent to the processing of your personal data. Pseudonymising is the replacement of the name and other identifying features by an indicator for the purpose of excluding or substantially complicating the identification of the data subject by a third party.
We use cookies as part of the registration process to make it easier to regain access to a password-protected area thanks to the data stored in the cookie, by not having to re-enter the user ID and potentially the password. In addition, We use cookies as part of the configuration processes, so that you do not have to enter your personal data multiple times during a single visit to our Website. In both cases, these are so-called "session cookies," which are automatically deleted when the browser is closed.
Most web browsers are set to automatically accept all cookies. You may object to the use of cookies at any time with future effect by setting your browser to accept no or only specific cookies, or to notify you when cookies are sent. This may mean that you may not be able to fully use all the features of our websites.
Please note that your browser settings are only ever for the specific browser. If you use different browsers and devices, you must change the settings again. You can also delete cookies from memory at any time. Please see the help for your web browser for information about cookie settings, changing cookies and deleting cookies.
We use the following categories for cookies:
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Essential cookies | These cookies are essential for the website to work. Services such as the Car Configurator would not work without these cookies. |
| Functional cookies | These cookies allow a website to store information that has already been provided (such as usernames and configurations) and provide users with enhanced, more personalised features. |
| Performance cookies |
We also use analysis cookies for the purpose of web analysis (see ""User tracking""). In addition, cookies may be persistent or temporary. Persistent cookies store a file for a specific period of time until the expiry date (or until you delete them) of the cookie on your device. These are used, for example, to store language settings, so that you do not have to set the language again on our website. Session cookies temporarily store a session ID while you are active on the website. This means that you do not have to log in again, e.g. when you move between pages. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or are no longer valid as soon as the session has expired.
Third-party cookies may also be used. Third-party cookies come from other providers (not the operator of the website). They can be used, for example, to collect information for advertising, custom content and web statistics.
