Cookies on the LINA-Automobile e.K. site
LINA-Automobile e.K., we believe in being clear and open about how we use your information. In the spirit of transparency, this policy provides detailed information about how and when we use cookies.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small file placed onto your device that enables LINA-Automobile e.K. features and functionality. For example, cookies enable us to identify your device, secure your access to LINA-Automobile e.K. and our sites generally, and even know if someone attempts to access your account from a different device. Cookies also enable you to easily share content on LINA-Automobile e.K. and help us serve relevant ads to you.
What types of cookies does LINA-Automobile e.K. use?
We use two types: persistent cookies and session cookies. A persistent cookie helps us recognize you as an existing user, so it's easier to return to LINA-Automobile e.K. without signing in again. After you sign in, a persistent cookie stays in your browser and will be read by LINA-Automobile e.K. when you return to the site. Session cookies only last for as long as the session (usually the current visit to a web site or a browser session). Adobe Flash is another technology that can provide cookie-equivalent functionality. Adobe Flash is capable of storing information on your device (in a file outside of your browser). Please note that not all browsers provide the ability to remove Adobe Flash cookies (also called locally stored objects, or LSOs). You can restrict or block Adobe Flash cookies/LSOs through the Adobe website. As with any cookie, if you do restrict flash cookies/LSOs, there may be some LINA-Automobile e.K. features you aren't able to use.

How are cookies used for advertising purposes?
Cookies and ad technology such as web beacons, pixels, and anonymous ad network tags help us serve relevant ads to you more effectively. They also help us collect aggregated auditing, research, and reporting for advertisers. Pixels help us understand and improve our service, show you ads on LINA-Automobile e.K., and know when content has been shown to you. Note: Because your web browser may request advertisements and web beacons directly from ad network servers, these networks can view, edit, or set their own cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their site. Although we do not use cookies to create a profile of your browsing behavior on third-party sites, we do use aggregate data from third parties and data from your profile and LINA-Automobile e.K. activity to show you relevant, interest-based advertising. We do not provide any personal information that we collect to advertisers. You can opt out of off-site and third-party-informed advertising by adjusting your settings. Please note that opting out will not remove advertising from the pages you visit; it will mean that the ads you see will not be matched to your interests. If you are not a LINA-Automobile e.K. member, learn more about cookies and how to opt out from site LINA-Automobile e.K..
Controlling cookies

However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it will no longer be personalized to you. It may also stop you from saving customized settings like login information.
The following types of cookies can be distinguished:
PHP-Session-Variablen
Cookie-Name: PHPSESSID
Unsere Website verwendet Session-Cookies, um Websites die Möglichkeit zu geben, die Aktionen eines Benutzers während einer Browser-Sitzung zu verknüpfen. Diese Session-Cookies verfallen nach einer Browser-Sitzung und werden daher nicht längerfristig gespeichert. Aus diesem Grund werden Session-Cookies manchmal als weniger datenschutzwidrig angesehen.
PHPSESSID ist ein Cookie für PHP-Sitzungen. Wenn Sie mit einer Anwendung arbeiten, öffnen Sie diese, nehmen einige Änderungen vor und schließen sie dann wieder. Dies ist ähnlich wie eine Sitzung. Der Computer weiß, wer Sie sind. Er weiß, wann Sie die Anwendung starten und wann Sie sie beenden. Aber im Internet weiß der Webserver nicht, wer Sie sind und was Sie tun, weil die HTTP-Adresse keinen Status beibehält. Eine PHP-Session löst dieses Problem, indem sie es Ihnen ermöglicht, Benutzerinformationen auf dem Server für die spätere Verwendung zu speichern (z. B. Benutzername, Einkaufsartikel usw.). Allerdings sind die Session-Informationen temporär und werden gelöscht, nachdem der Benutzer die Website verlassen hat. Sessions funktionieren, indem sie für jeden Besucher eine eindeutige Kennung (UID) erstellen und Variablen basierend auf dieser UID speichern. Die UID wird entweder in einem Cookie gespeichert oder wird in der URL propagiert.
