What are website cookies?
Cookies are small files that are cached on the user’s computer when visiting a website. They contribute to the functionality of the site and offer numerous advantages – for the user as well as for the website operator. However, since the GDPR was enforced, there have also been legally sensitive cookies that are used to track the surfing behavior of individual users . Such cookies are also known as tracking cookies. They are used for marketing purposes and in most cases are set by third parties.
- In this context, session cookies are the “good” cookies, as they make certain applications possible in the first place. If you log into the online banking area, you cannot do without session cookies. In online shops, for example, a shopping cart remains full thanks to cookies. Thus, a user can return and complete the purchase process. From the website operator’s point of view, this is an immense advantage, as it encourages potential customers to buy even days later. According to the GDPR , the user must give their consent to cookies and can choose which cookies they allow and which not.

The website is subjected to an automatic GDPR conformity check. This allows problems to be resolved and warnings to be avoided.
