1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Website owners use cookies widely to make their websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case Karibu GmbH) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality on or through the website (e.g. advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites.
2. Why do we use cookies?
We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential cookies". Other cookies also enable us to track the interests of our users to improve the experience on our online properties. Third parties serve cookies through our website for advertising, analytics and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
3. How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the cookie settings. There you can choose which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected, as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.
You can find the cookie settings in the cookie banner and in the footer of our website under "Cookies".
