1. Session cookies
While you are active on a web page, a session cookie is temporarily stored in your computer's memory to store a session identifier, for example, to prevent you from having to log in again each time you change pages. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or lose their validity as soon as your session has automatically expired.
2. Permanent or protocol cookies
A permanent or protocol cookie stores a file on your computer for the period of time specified in the expiration date. These cookies enable websites to remember your information and settings on your next visit. This results in faster and more convenient access, as you do not have to change your language settings for our portal again, for example. When the expiration date expires, the cookie is automatically deleted when you visit the website that generated it.
