Cookie Policy

The OTeam uses various cookies on its websites. Cookies are small files containing configuration information that are stored on your device. Cookies can be divided into three main categories.

For the functionality of the website, so-called functional cookies are essential. The processing of functional cookies is necessary to enable you to visit the website (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). To enhance the convenience of visiting the website, comfort cookies are used, which, for example, store your language settings. The legal basis for comfort cookies is a legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The legitimate interest lies in providing a certain level of comfort during your visits to the website. You can object to data processing at any time with effect for the future. Further information can be found in the privacy policy. To create a pseudonymized usage profile, tracking cookies are used. Tracking cookies are only set with the consent of the website visitor (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). Consent is given via the so-called cookie banner, which must be actively clicked. For more information on the tracking tools used and how to revoke your consent, please refer to the privacy policy.

Within the described categories, various types of cookies are used. Below are the most common types of cookies explained for your understanding:

1. Session Cookies

While you are actively using a website, a session cookie is temporarily stored in your computer’s memory, which contains a session identifier to prevent you from having to log in again on each page change, for example. Session cookies are deleted upon logout or lose their validity once their session has automatically expired.

2. Persistent or Log Cookies

A persistent or log cookie stores a file on your computer for the duration specified in the expiration date. These cookies allow websites to remember your information and settings for your next visit, leading to faster and more convenient access, as you do not need to set your language preferences for our portal again, for instance. The cookie is automatically deleted when you visit the website that generated it, after the expiration date has passed.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies come from providers other than the operator of the website. They can be used, for example, to collect information for advertising, customized content, and web statistics.

4. Flash Cookies

Flash cookies are data elements stored by websites on your computer when they are operated with Adobe Flash. Flash cookies have no expiration date.
