Volkswagen Group Info Services AG cookies on the website and the Data Hub. Cookies are small files with configuration information that are stored on your terminal device and enable the website operator to recognise your device.
General information about cookies
Cookies can be divided into different categories:
1. So-called necessary or session cookies are essential for the functionality of a website. The use of these cookies is necessary to enable you to visit the website.
2. The comfort of a website visit is increased by so-called functional cookies, which can store your language settings, for example.
3. In order to create a pseudonymised usage profile, so-called tracking cookies are used.
Different types of cookies are used within the categories described above. The most common types are explained below:
1. While you are active on a website, a session cookie is temporarily stored in the memory of your terminal device, in which a session identifier is stored, e.g. to prevent you from having to log in again each time you change pages. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or lose their validity as soon as your session expires.
2. A persistent cookie stores a file on your terminal device for a pre-defined period of time. Through these cookies, websites remember your information and settings for your next visit. This results in faster and more convenient access, as you do not have to set your language preferences again, for example. Once the storage period has expired, the cookie is automatically deleted when you visit the website that generated it.
