When you visit our websites for the first time, a cookie banner is loaded. This allows you to accept or reject cookies or similar technologies. The cookie settings will take you to our Privacy Preference Center. There you can adjust your preferences and make more granular settings. This gives you control at all times over whether we set cookies on your device, and if so, which ones. 

You can access the Cookie Management Settings anytime by clicking the red fingerprint button in the left bottom corner of the website.

What is a cookie? 

Cookies are small text files that websites that you visit store on your device through your web browser. Each time you visit a website, your browser sends these cookies back to the website so that it can recognize your device. Cookies cannot run programs or infect your computer with viruses. 

Some cookies are needed to remember your preferences when you visit our website. They are only active during your session on the site and expire when you close your browser. Other cookies collect information that helps us tailor our website to your preferred use and make it more interesting. 

Veridos uses both "session cookies" and "persistent cookies". A "session cookie" is a cookie that is automatically deleted when the user closes their browser. A "persistent cookie" remains stored on the user's device until a specified cookie expiration date. 

Please note that without cookies, certain features of our websites may not be available or may not be fully available. 

What types of cookies do we use? 

Depending on their function and purpose, the cookies used on our websites fall into several categories: 

• Essential cookies  

• Functional cookies  

• Performance cookies  

• Targeting cookies  

Essential cookies  

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled on your systems. Generally, these cookies are only set in response to actions you take that correspond to a service request, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms. 

If the data processed by means of strictly necessary cookies is considered personal data, Veridos' legitimate interest in operating the website constitutes the legal basis for processing this data (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). 

Functional cookies

These cookies allow the website to provide advanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third parties whose services we use on our sites. If you choose not to accept these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly. 

Your consent - if given - constitutes the legal basis for the processing of this data (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). 

Performance cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so that we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us answer questions about which pages are the most popular, which are the least used, and how visitors move around the site. Any information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you choose not to accept these cookies, we will not know when you visit our site. 

Your consent, if given, constitutes the legal basis for the processing of such data (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). 

Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be placed by our advertising partners through our website. They may be used by these companies to learn about your interests and show you relevant ads on other websites. They do not directly store personal information, but are based on a unique identification of your browser and Internet device. If you choose not to accept these cookies, you will see less targeted ads. However, the amount of advertising you see will not change.
