Cookies have a certain expiration period that starts when a cookie is stored on a user's device and can, depending on the cookie, be automatically renewed if the user visits the website and/or app again. After the expiration period ends, the cookie will be deleted by the user's browser. We use cookies that are valid for a browser session (session cookies) and cookies that remain valid for a longer period (persistent cookies). Session cookies temporarily store a session ID while the user is active on our website and/or app and are deleted as soon as the user logs out or lose their validity as soon as the user's session has expired. Persistent cookies store a file on the user's device for a specific period until the cookie's expiration or until the user deletes it.
