Cookies and the right to object to direct advertising

'Cookies' are small, non-executable files that are stored on a user's computer. Cookies can store different kinds of data about users. They are stored on the users' devices during and/or after users visit a website or online store.

'Temporary cookies', 'session cookies', or 'transient cookies' are cookies that are deleted after users leave an online store and close their browsers. With such cookies, for example, the content of a shopping basket can be stored in an online shop or a login bottleneck.

However, other cookies are referred to as 'permanent' or 'persistent' and remain stored even after the browser is closed. For example, a users' login status can be saved when they visit a shop after several days. Likewise, permanent cookies can measure the 'range' of a website (where the users are geographically located) or information on the users' interests. This information is used for marketing purposes.

'Third-party cookies' are cookies that are offered by the original providers (who operate the online store or website) to other parties. (If the original provider is the one using the cookies, they are often called 'first-party cookies').
