Cookie Policy
(Version 1.0 – 17. Dec 2019)
I. About Cookies
What are Cookies? A cookie is a technology for remembering something about you as our user. Cookies are small text files with information that are stored on your access device.
Without cookies, every website and every app is simply losing its memory every time you visit a new page or open up the app again. It doesn’t remember who you are and what you did or what you like. This can be fairly complicated as many of the user experience you are used to getting from We Love X GmbH when using our website or app would cease to exist. Without this memory we, for example, can’t log you in as we forgot who you are. Or we can’t show you the rights language settings because we don’t know where you are coming from. So all these useful functionalities which make We Love X GmbH so enjoyable wouldn’t be possible. But not using cookies also means that you can’t be tracked. Some websites use cookies to remember what you do on their website and to target ads at you. That sounds bad but as cookies also remember what you like there will be no advertising – or at least less advertising – that you’re not interested in. Another scenario is that cookies will be used to know which of our marketing partners send you to us. If you click on a We Love X GmbH ad on another website, this website uses cookies to let us know that you’re coming from them.
Cookies aren’t automatically good or bad, but it’s worth understanding what you can do about them and to take your own decision on your data.
II. What types of cookies exist?
Some of the Cookies used by us will be automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of your browser session (Session Cookies). We also use cookies that remain on your hard drive for a certain period after the end of your browser session (Persistent Cookies). Then on your next visit, the country and language you selected on your last visit to our Website will immediately be recognized. These Persistent Cookies will be stored on your hard drive and deleted by the browser after the prescribed period. These cookies may also include cookies from third-party providers (Third-Party Cookies).
III. Your decision
