Cookie Policy

​

Thank you for your interest in this Cookie Policy! We take the protection of your Personal Data very seriously. This Cookie Policy applies to www.knights-of-the-earth.com and in accordance with the German Data Protection and Privacy in Telecommunications and Telemedia Act (“TTDSG”) and the EU`s Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive (“PECD”) we inform you about the use of cookies on our website, which cookies we are using and how you can manage your consent to store cookies.

 

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. If you then return to the same website, the website recognizes the cookie and remembers your device, the choices you have made, and acts in accordance with the specific objective a cookie has. As such cookies have a name and value and one or more defined characteristics, which are returned to the website as "user-related" information. So, thanks to cookies, a website knows who you are and offers you your usual default settings.

 

Origins and Lifespans of Cookies

There are however classes of cookies, namely first-party cookies which are placed directly by the website. As well as third-party cookies which are created by a partner website or server. And since it would not be very beneficial if all cookies would save the same information for the same period of time, each cookie stores different data and has a lifespan (that can vary from a few minutes to a few years). In this sense, we now understand that cookies are automatically placed in the cookie folder, effectively the "brain" of your browser, that each can have a different origin, hold different information, and can have a different lifespan depending on its objective. Because of that there are several types of cookies.

 

Types of Cookies

The least privacy invasive type of cookies are Essential or Necessary cookies. These cookies are essential or necessary to ensure that a website works properly and is secure so that you can navigate a website and use its features. Without these cookies, certain features of a website would not function, and thus you would not be able to use certain services.

 

There are also Functional cookies or sometimes called convenience cookies. These cookies allow a website to remember the options a user has made (including user ID`s stored, consents given, or languages selected) and other personalization options you have selected when browsing.

 

Further there are also Analysis and performance cookies, which are used to monitor and improve the function and service of a website. Those can track down problems when using a website, facilitate online surveys, record visitor numbers, and provide analytics metrics.

 

Lastly, advertising cookies or targeting cookies. They are used to deliver customised advertising to the user. This can be very convenient, but also very annoying.

 

The cookies we use

According to the TTDSG and PECD, the use of functional, analysis and performance or advertising cookies require your consent and thus the legal basis for the use of personal data in relation to cookies, the use of cookies would then be your consent as well as our legitimate interest.

 

Below you can find the cookies we use listed in accordance with their Name, Description, Lifespan, and Type. Please keep in mind that this list may be updated from time to time.
