What are Cookies?
Cookies and session storage (in the following both called “Cookies”) are small pieces of data that websites store on your browser when you visit them.
Cookies are useful because they allow a website to remember individual setting and to ensure a correct link between browser and webserver.
The length of time for which Cookies are stored on your browser varies depending on the Cookie. Some Cookies only last for your online session, whereas others will stay on your browser for a reasonable time afterwards. If you have provided consent to the storage, the setting for your permanent residency will be stored for a period of 30 days and you don’t have to reconfirm your statement during this period.
The Cookies we use
The Cookies we use are either strictly necessary or optional.
Strictly necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary Cookies on our websites are so called “Session Cookies”.
Such Cookies do not save personal data, but only a character string generated randomly, which is being used as Session-ID.
Session-Cookies together with the anonymized Session-IDs enable the webserver to differentiate users, who have access onto our website simultaneously, and enables inter alia an automatic price update (push-prices) for our products. Thereby it can be ensured that every user receives current prices for the relevant product.
Session Cookies will be deleted as soon as the session ends or the browser will be closed.
Optional Cookies
The website www.hsbc-zertifikate.de/en_FR is directed only at persons being permanent resident of France. It is expressly not directed at persons with residency in countries / jurisdictions, in which the publication of information or the distribution of products as contained on this website is prohibited.
This is the reason for collecting information on permanent residency from visitors to our website. So that you don’t have to state your place of residence every time you visit our website, you have the choice to save your residency (without any other personal data) as a Cookie for 30 days. You are able to waive this opportunity by rejecting the storage.
Cookies and your browser settings
You can use your browser settings to delete Cookies. You can also use your browser settings to manage Cookies, for example, to switch off a cookie altogether. If you do this, it could mean that we can't use strictly necessary Cookies properly and so parts of our website may not work correctly.
