1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. They are used to store certain settings and data in order to make your visit more convenient, to ensure the functionality of the website or to analyse usage behaviour.

In addition to classic cookies, similar technologies may also be used, e.g.:

  • Local Storage / Session Storage: temporary or persistent data storage in the browser
  • Pixels / Web Beacons: invisible graphics for measuring usage
  • Fingerprinting: technical recognition of device characteristics (not used by ISG)

2. Legal Bases

The use of cookies on i-sg.eu is based on the following legal bases:

  • Analytics and marketing cookies: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent) in conjunction with § 25(1) TDDDG – only after active consent in the cookie banner

Since 1 December 2021, the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG, formerly TTDSG), which implements the EU ePrivacy Directive, has governed the use of cookies on websites in Germany.
