Use of Cookies

2.1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored by a website on the user’s device. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, PHH Rechtsanwält:innen can provide you with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without setting cookies.

3.1. Facebook

Remarketing tags of the social network Facebook, 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA are integrated into the website. When you visit the website, these remarketing tags establish a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server. Facebook thereby receives the information that you have visited the website with your IP address, assigning your visit to the website to your Facebook user account.
