Schmidt & Schmidt OHG uses cookies on its website. Since your privacy is important to us and we would like to create transparency about the technologies used, this cookie policy is intended to clarify what cookies are, why and how they are used on our websites.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files, which can be placed and stored on a computer or mobile device by a website.
Most cookies contain a so cllaed Cookie-ID. A Cookie-ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters by which internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored.
This allows the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the person concerned from the devices of other users. A specific internet browser can be recognised and identified via the unique cookie ID.
Why do we use cookies?
A lot of websites and servers are using cookies. By using cookies, the Schmidt & Schmidt OHG can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services, which would not be possible without the cookie setting.
Thanks to cookies, the information and offers on our website can be optimised in the interests of the user. Cookies allow us to recognise the users of our website and therefore to make it easier for users to use our website.
For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his or her access data each time he or she visits the website because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system.
