This website uses cookies and similar technologies to enable technical functions, improve user experience, and, where applicable, analyze usage patterns. Cookies are small text files that are stored on the user’s device or browser when visiting the website.

Types and purposes of cookies
FiCoVision may use the following types of cookies:

• Technically necessary cookies that are required for the basic functioning of the website, for example to maintain session states, manage security features, or remember certain settings. Without these cookies, the website may not function properly.
• Preference and functional cookies that help remember user-selected settings and improve usability, where such features are implemented.
• Analytics and performance cookies that collect aggregated information on how users interact with the website, such as which pages are visited, how long users remain on a page, and which errors may occur. This information is used to improve the website and its content.
• In the future, and only where appropriate, marketing or tracking cookies may be used to support specific communications or campaigns, exclusively on the basis of prior consent where required by law.

Where analytics, performance, or marketing cookies are used, they are generally set by or in cooperation with third-party providers. In such cases, additional information on the providers involved and the data processed may be provided in the cookie banner or further cookie information on the website.

Cookie consent and management
When accessing the website for the first time, users may be shown a cookie banner or notice. Where required by law, non-essential cookies are only set after the user has provided consent via the cookie banner or relevant settings. Users can withdraw their consent at any time with effect for the future by adjusting their cookie preferences in the banner (if available) or by changing their browser settings to delete or block cookies.

Most web browsers allow users to view which cookies have been stored, delete cookies, and configure settings to block cookies, limit their use, or receive notifications before new cookies are stored. The exact procedure depends on the browser used. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the website.

Retention periods
Cookies are stored either for the duration of the browser session (session cookies) or for a defined period after the session (persistent cookies). Session cookies are deleted when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies remain stored on the user’s device until they expire or are manually deleted. FiCoVision uses cookie lifetimes that are proportionate to the respective purposes.

Further details on the cookies used, their lifetimes, and their providers may be made available in a separate cookie overview or within the cookie banner, where implemented.
