This cookie policy explains which cookies flect uses. Detailed information on the processing of personal data is available in our privacy policy.

01What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that your browser stores when you visit a website and sends back to the website on later visits. They make it possible, for example, to keep you signed in or to remember your settings.

03Legal basis

Storing these cookies is permitted without consent under § 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG (German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act) because it is strictly necessary to provide the service you have expressly requested, including the settings you have chosen. The related processing of personal data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR.

04No tracking

We do not use analytics, tracking or marketing cookies or third-party cookies, and we do not embed third-party content that sets cookies. This is why we do not show a cookie consent banner.

05Managing and deleting cookies

You can view and delete cookies and block cookies from being stored at any time in your browser settings. Please note:

  • Without the kv_session cookie, signing in to flect is not possible.
  • Without the functional cookies, language, appearance and sidebar revert to their defaults.

Your browser's help pages explain how, usually under “Cookies and site data” or “Privacy”.
