The following are the most common types of cookies for your understanding:

<u>1. Session cookies</u>

While you are active on a website, a session cookie is temporarily stored in the memory of your computer in which a session ID is stored, e.g. to store a session cookie. For example, to avoid having to log in each time you switch pages. Session cookies are deleted at logoff or lose their validity as soon as their session expires automatically.

<u>2. Persistent or protocol cookies</u>

A persistent or history cookie stores a file on your computer for the period of time that it expects. These cookies remind you of your information and settings the next time you visit. This leads to a faster and more convenient access because, for example, you do not have to change your language settings for our portal again. Upon expiration of the expiration date, the cookie will be automatically deleted when you visit the website that created it.

<u>3. Third party cookies</u>
Third-party cookies are provided by other providers than the operator of the website. For example, they can be used to collect information for advertising, custom content, and web statistics.

<u>4. Flash cookies</u>
Flash cookies are stored as data elements of websites on your computer when they are operated with Adobe Flash. Flash cookies have no time limit.
