Cookies
This is an information page as part of our legal notice.
Like most websites on the Internet, our websites also require cookies in order to offer convenient and innovative functions. There are cookies that do not require consent and cookies that require consent.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small file that saves Internet settings. Almost every website uses cookie technology. It is downloaded by your internet browser the first time you visit a website. The next time you visit this website on the same end device, the cookie and the information stored in it is either sent back to the website that created it (first party cookie) or sent to another website to which it belongs (third party cookie). As a result, the website recognises that it has already been accessed with this browser and in some cases varies the content displayed.
Some cookies are extremely useful as they can improve the user experience when you return to a website. For example, if you use the same device and browser as before, cookies remember your preferences, tell you how you use a site and customise the offers displayed to be more relevant to your personal interests and needs.
Depending on their function and purpose, cookies can be divided into four categories: Strictly necessary cookies, performance cookies, functional cookies and cookies for marketing purposes.
Consent-free cookies on this website
Strictly necessary cookies, also known as “strictly necessary cookies”, ensure functions without which you would not be able to use this website as intended. These cookies are used exclusively by the SOCCA GROUP and are therefore so-called first party cookies. They are only stored on your computer during the current browser session. Strictly necessary cookies ensure, for example, that you are shown a version of the website whose bandwidth-related data volume corresponds to that of the internet connection you are using.
Furthermore, such cookies ensure the functionality of a change from http to https, for example when changing pages, and thus compliance with increased security requirements for data transmission.
Last but not least, such a cookie also stores your decision regarding the use of cookies on our website. Your consent is not required for the use of strictly necessary cookies.
Strictly necessary cookies cannot be deactivated via the function on this page. You can generally deactivate cookies in your browser at any time.
Cookies requiring consent on this website
Cookies, which by legal definition are not absolutely necessary in order to use the website, fulfil important tasks. Without these cookies, functions that enable convenient surfing on our website, such as pre-filled forms, are no longer available. Settings you have made, such as a language selection, cannot be saved and must therefore be requested again on each page. Furthermore, without these cookies we will not be able to respond to you with customised offers.
The SOCCA GROUP also integrates third-party content into this website. Examples of this are the integration of Facebook services or YouTube videos. These third-party providers can theoretically set cookies when you visit our website and thereby receive the information, for example, that you have accessed a SOCCA GROUP website. Please visit the websites of the third-party providers for more information on their use of cookies. If you have decided not to give or revoke your consent to the use of cookies requiring consent, only those functionalities of our website will be made available to you that we can guarantee can be used without these cookies. Areas of our website that potentially offer the technical possibility of integrating third-party content and thus setting third-party cookies will not be available to you in this case. You will be informed of this by a corresponding notice. Should you nevertheless wish to use the content of the website in this case, this is only possible with your consent to the use of cookies requiring consent. To do so, please use the consent function provided at the relevant point on our website.
Categories
Depending on their function and purpose, cookies can be divided into four categories: Strictly necessary cookies, performance cookies, functional cookies and cookies for marketing purposes.
Strictly necessary cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are required to enable you to move around a site and use its features. Without these cookies, certain functionalities cannot be guaranteed, for example that actions performed during a visit (e.g. text input) are retained, even if you navigate between the individual pages.
Performance cookies
Performance cookies collect information about how a website is used – for example, which pages a visitor accesses most frequently and whether they receive error messages from websites. These cookies do not store any information that allows the user to be identified. The information collected is aggregated and therefore anonymous. These cookies are used exclusively to improve the performance of a website and thus the user experience.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies allow a website to save information already provided (such as language selection or the location you are in) and offer the user improved, more personalised functions. For example, a website could offer local price-relevant tax information if it uses a cookie to save the region in which the user is currently located. Functional cookies also allow requested functions such as playing videos. They collect anonymised information and cannot track your movements on other websites.
Cookies for marketing purposes
Cookies for marketing purposes are used to display adverts that are more relevant to the user and tailored to their interests. They are also used to limit the frequency with which an advert appears and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They register whether you have visited a website or not. This information can be shared with third parties, such as advertisers. Cookies to improve targeting and advertising are often linked to third-party site functionalities.
Manage and delete cookies
With the button above, we offer you the option of conveniently rejecting or accepting cookies that require consent.
You can also block and delete cookies by changing your browser settings. To manage cookies, most browsers allow you to accept or reject all cookies or to accept only certain types of cookies. The procedures for managing and deleting cookies can be found in the help function integrated in the browser.
If you restrict the use of cookies in the same way, you will not be able to use all the interactive functions of our website.
