About Cookies
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are sometimes stored by your device when you visit a website. The website you are visiting uses cookies to perform actions such as remembering that you have logged in once before. A world without cookies would be frustrating. Without cookies you would have to type in your password whenever you visit your favorite website or whenever you wish to load a new page in your favorite blog!
If you wish to find out more about us, our company, cookies or other topics discussed on this website, please do not hesitate to contact us anytime.
Why do we need cookies on our website?
Cookies enable ThinkLABs to do what we do best: creating added value for our customers!
We use cookies on our website to better understand the way it is used in order to constantly optimize your user experience on our site.
You have to enable cookies to use the website to the full extent. If you disable cookies, using our services will be much more complex (in particular in the login areas).
We use cookies for our portal (after you have logged in) to check the information entered on a page. Subsequently, we copy this information to the next page you click on. This means you do not have to enter this information over and over again. In addition, we check whether you are authorized to use our services.
Furthermore, if you disable cookies it will no longer be possible for you to use the following services outside of the login area, either.
You are able to share content on social networks via the related buttons on our blogs. These buttons are links to the social networks of Facebook or Twitter provided by them to use these networks’ functions directly on our website, for example the “like” button (they are called Facebook/Twitter plug-ins). Further information on the scope of data collection, data processing or usage by Facebook / Twitter as well as their purpose is available in the data privacy guidelines on Facebook/Twitter. Here you will also find additional information on your rights and possibilities with respect to adapting your data privacy settings.
We constantly test and optimize our websites in order to offer you the best possible user experience. To name one example, we perform A-B testing (this means we show two slightly different versions of the website to different users in order to see which one works best for them).
We also use Google Analytics to understand how visitors reach our website and how they use it, e.g. which browser they are using, the country from which they are visiting the website or whether they are using it on a mobile device or a computer. You can prevent Google from collecting and processing data on your website usage by downloading the opt-out plug-in for your browser: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB.
How do you delete or block cookies?
By changing your browser settings. You will find detailed instructions on how to do this in your browser in the guidelines on AboutCookies.org. But please remember that you will then no longer be able to use our website, in particular the login areas, as usual.
