mtms Solutions GmbH Cookie Policy

(last changed May 25th 2018)

What is a cookie?

A cookie is small text file or information your browser receives and saves while loading a website. This text file usually contains settings or even information, which the browser transmits to this website when it is revisited. A distinction is made between so-called first party cookies, which only send information to the original site you visited and third party cookies, which also send information to third parties (for example, partners or pages of mtms with another domain).

These may be so-called session cookies, which allow us to store your shopping cart correctly over several page visits. Other cookies can significantly improve the user experience by giving you a customized page when you visit the page again, or not showing information only ment to be displayed the first time you visit the page, or storing settings you have selected, such as the selected language.

Besides cookies, there are also other technologies that enable us to optimize the user experience for our customers. In the following, the term "cookies" is used as a general term, which includes such web tracking technologies. Such technologies are e.g. Google Analytics, TURN, or Webtrekk, which use pixel tags or web beacons. However, they usually also use cookies for their function.

Cookies are stored for different periods of time, depending on the use case and utilization. Some are deleted when the browser is closed, some of them remain stored in your browser for a certain time.

Cookies requiring approval vs. cookies that are approval free

A distinction is made between two types of cookies. This distinction is based on the necessity of use.

Necessary cookies (approval free)  

Such cookies are technically necessary to ensure the functionality of the site and services. These are, in particular, session cookies, e.g. after login to a user account to prevent unauthorized access to your data. Similarly, the use of a shopping cart in the ticket shop without cookies would not be possible. Your consent to the use of cookies must also be stored with a cookie.
Since the use of such cookies is necessary, strictly speaking, no explicit consent would therefore be necessary. Nevertheless, we also point out the use of these cookies. Of course, you are free to deactivate the use or storage of cookies in your browser, but you will most likely not be able to use our services correctly.

Cookies requiring approval

Without those cookies, the website or the service from a purely legal point of view would work in principle, but their use is still necessary from our point of view, otherwise only a limited function of the website is guaranteed or your user experience would be very limited. Functions such as Settings for language selection would no longer be saved or pre-filled forms would not be possible. We also have the possibility to show you individual offers tailored to your needs.

Use of third party cookies on our website 

Social Media Cookies: 

By incorporating third-party services (e.g., social media platforms), it may be that their own cookies are used to measure the success of their application while you visit the mtms website. For example, when using a share button, the event can be registered by the respective platform when you are logged in to this platform. Also by embedding a YouTube video, cookies are set by YouTube. You can find more information on the respective cookies on the website of these third parties (see below). Such third party cookies can only be used by the respective service. We can not access the content of these cookies and a third party can not access the cookies set by us.

Cookies for advertisement and analytics: 

In order to continuously improve the functionality of our website and its user experience, we also use cookies for analysis purposes. This helps us, e.g. optimize the page flow, find problems in the online shop and also measure the success of marketing measures. On the basis of this data, we then receive a report on the usage behavior on our website. However, since we are also concerned about the protection of your privacy, we use anonymous data for Google Analytics. This means that only anonymous IP addresses are transferred to these services.

Since, like many companies, we sometimes also use advertising on the Internet, in order to present suitable advertisements or to analyse our own advertisements, we also use cookies for advertising purposes in some cases.
