## Addition to the privacy policy

This cook­ie pol­i­cy is a sup­ple­ment to this web­site’s [pri­va­cy pol­i­cy](https://www.smoltek.com/privacy-policy/). The cook­ie pol­i­cy spec­i­fies how a web­site uses cook­ies and what data it col­lects through them, while the pri­va­cy pol­i­cy is a more com­pre­hen­sive overview of all data pro­cess­ing activ­i­ties on the web­site and beyond.

## What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cook­ies are small pieces of infor­ma­tion sim­i­lar to text files that can be stored and read on the end device. They serve var­i­ous pur­pos­es, includ­ing main­tain­ing basic func­tion­al­i­ties of the web­site, secu­ri­ty and pri­va­cy, pro­vid­ing option­al func­tions of the web­site, col­lect­ing sta­tis­tic data on vis­i­tor flows and pro­vid­ing mar­ket­ing sys­tems. Prac­ti­cal exam­ples of what can be stored in cook­ies are the stor­age of login sta­tus in user accounts, the con­tent of shop­ping bas­kets in e‑commerce plat­forms, or a user ID for track­ing behav­ior on the web­site.

The infor­ma­tion can tech­ni­cal­ly be stored in var­i­ous ways. The best-known exam­ples of this are HTTP cook­ies and cook­ie-like tech­nolo­gies like local stor­age, ses­sion stor­age or Indexed­DB. Each type of stor­age has dif­fer­ent prop­er­ties, which deter­mine the tech­ni­cal han­dling, acces­si­bil­i­ty and con­trollers autho­rized to access the infor­ma­tion. All these types of stor­age are usu­al­ly sum­ma­rized under the term “cook­ies” and are there­fore called as such in this cook­ie policy.

## What is the legal basis for setting/​reading cookies?

The set­ting and read­ing of cook­ies in the Euro­pean Union (EU) and the Euro­pean Eco­nom­ic Area (EEA) is in accor­dance with Art. 5 (3) ePri­va­cy Direc­tive and Recital 66 ePri­va­cy Direc­tive only per­mit­ted if a user has giv­en his con­sent on the basis of com­pre­hen­sive infor­ma­tion about the pur­pos­es of the pro­cess­ing. The web­site oper­a­tor may also set cook­ies if they are strict­ly nec­es­sary to pro­vide you as a user with the express­ly request­ed ser­vice, e.g. the basic con­tent of this web­site or oth­er strict­ly nec­es­sary cook­ies for basic func­tion­al­i­ty of the web­site to be dis­played to you with­out your consent.

## What rights does the website visitor have?

Ser­vices and their cook­ies can be set and read on the legal basis of your con­sent or a legit­i­mate inter­est. When you first vis­it­ed this web­site, you were asked for your con­sent and you had the oppor­tu­ni­ty to object to the use of cer­tain ser­vices. We explained which legal basis is used for which ser­vice in our con­sent dia­log.

You have the right to view the his­to­ry of your deci­sions, change your pri­va­cy set­tings, object to the use of ser­vices and revoke your con­sent at any time. Below you find pos­si­bil­i­ties to exer­cise your rights:

- [Change pri­va­cy settings](https://www.smoltek.com#consent-change)
- [Pri­va­cy set­tings history](https://www.smoltek.com#consent-history)
- [Revoke con­sents](https://www.smoltek.com#consent-revoke)

## How to manage cookies in a browser?

- **How to remove cook­ies in a brows­er:** To remove cook­ies from your device, you can clear the brows­ing data in the set­tings of your brows­er. This action will remove all cook­ies from all web­sites you’ve vis­it­ed, poten­tial­ly includ­ing saved login details and site pref­er­ences. In some browsers, you can just delete the cook­ies and sim­i­lar data with­out delet­ing the whole brows­ing history.
- **How to con­trol cook­ies in a brows­er:** For more gran­u­lar con­trol over cook­ies spe­cif­ic to cer­tain web­sites, nav­i­gate to the pri­va­cy and cook­ie set­tings with­in your used brows­er. Here, you can adjust pref­er­ences relat­ed to indi­vid­ual sites’ cook­ie usage.
- **How to block cook­ies in a brows­er:** It’s pos­si­ble to con­fig­ure most mod­ern browsers in their set­tings to block all cook­ies from being placed on your device. But block­ing cook­ies could lead to cer­tain ser­vices and func­tion­al­i­ties not func­tion­ing cor­rect­ly, e.g. logins as a user. You can also use exten­sions for many browsers which can block the set­ting of cook­ies on websites.
- **How to man­age cook­ies on this web­site:** To tai­lor your pref­er­ences regard­ing cook­ies on this web­site, you can change your pref­er­ences at any time by click­ing on the link in the sec­tion “Rights of the web­site visitor”.

You can find more infor­ma­tion on the han­dling of cook­ies [devowl.io/rcb/cookie-handling/](https://devowl.io/rcb/cookie-handling/).

## What types of cookies exist?

- **Essen­tial cook­ies** are indis­pens­able for the basic func­tion­al­i­ty of a web­site and enable func­tions such as sav­ing login infor­ma­tion or access to secure areas of the site. These include, for exam­ple, secu­ri­ty cook­ies, which can iden­ti­fy a bot that is not want­ed on the web­site by stor­ing an authen­ti­ca­tion key in a cookie.
- **Func­tion­al cook­ies** improve the user expe­ri­ence by stor­ing infor­ma­tion and pref­er­ences such as lan­guage set­tings or appear­ance set­tings of the web­site to pro­vide per­son­al­ized. This includes, for exam­ple, pref­er­ence cook­ies that store the user’s pre­ferred video qual­i­ty on a website.
- **Sta­tis­tics cook­ies** col­lect data about the use of a web­site to gain insights into user behav­ior and opti­mize the per­for­mance of the site. This includes, for exam­ple, a ran­dom­ly assigned user ID that makes it pos­si­ble to attribute whether you have vis­it­ed a sub­page of the website.
- **Mar­ket­ing cook­ies** are used to track user behav­ior across dif­fer­ent web­sites and to dis­play per­son­al­ized adver­tis­ing based on the inter­ests and surf­ing behav­ior of users. This includes, for exam­ple, adver­tis­ing cook­ies that store an inter­ac­tion with an adver­tise­ment on the web­site and pass it on to adver­tis­ers or a chat sys­tem for pre-sale ques­tions and cus­tomer support.

## Who can set cookies on this website?

On this web­site, both the oper­a­tor of the web­site and third-par­ty ser­vices which are used on this web­site may set cook­ies and access its con­tent. Who can access which cook­ies and their con­tent dif­fers between first-par­ty and third-par­ty cook­ies. First-par­ty cook­ies are cre­at­ed by the vis­it­ed web­site and can only be read by the web­site oper­a­tor and inte­grat­ed third-par­ty ser­vices on this web­site. Third-par­ty cook­ies are set by usu­al­ly third-par­ty ser­vices on oth­er domains, can be read on all web­sites on which the ser­vice that con­trols the domain is embed­ded and, for exam­ple, used by adver­tis­ing net­works to track user behav­ior across dif­fer­ent web­sites and offer per­son­al­ized advertising.
