Cookie Policy

When you visit our BODE Chemie GmbH websites, information is stored on your terminal device in the form of a "cookie." Cookies are small files that are stored on your terminal device and save certain settings and data to exchange with our websites via your browser.

For example, cookies enable us, BODE Chemie GmbH, to tailor a website to better match your interests or to store your password so that you do not have to re-enter it every time. As a general rule, we never collects personal data via cookies, unless you have given us your express permission to do so.

Please note that certain functions of our websites may no longer work, or not correctly, without cookies.

Cookies can be assigned to four categories, depending on their function and intended purpose: absolutely necessary cookies, performance cookies, functional cookies, and cookies for marketing purposes.

a. Absolutely necessary cookies

are needed for you to navigate within our websites and operate basic website functions, such as the issuance of anonymous session IDs for bundling several related queries to a server.

b. Performance cookies

collect information on the usage of our websites, including for example the Internet browsers and operating systems used, the domain name of the website which you previously visited, the number of visits, average duration of visit, and pages called up. These cookies do not store any information that would make it possible to personally identify the user. The information collected with the aid of these cookies is aggregated and is therefore anonymous. Performance cookies serve the purpose of improving the user friendliness of a website and therefore enhancing the user’s experience. You can block the use of such cookies by creating an exclusion cookie.

c. Functional cookies

enable a website to store information the user has already entered (such as user ID, language selection, or the user’s location), in order to offer improved, personalized functions to the user. Functional cookies are also used to enable requested functions such as playing videos.

d. Cookies for marketing purposes

are used to offer more relevant content to users, based on their specific interests. They are also used to limit the display frequency of an ad and to measure and control the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They register whether users have visited a website or not, and which contents were used. This information may possibly also be shared with third parties, such as advertisers, for example. These cookies are often linked to the functions of third-party websites. You can block the use of such cookies by creating an opt-out cookie.
