Cookie Policy

Cookies are used on the website of LOVOO GmbH (“LOVOO”). The purpose of this policy is to explain what cookies are, the different types of cookies, and for which purposes they are used on LOVOO’s website.

Complying with data protection law is one of our top priorities. If you have any questions, feel free to send us an email (datenschutz@lovoo.com). More information on data protection and your rights is also available in our Privacy Policy.

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on the user’s end device. A cookie is generated by the web server when it is accessed by the user’s web browser and transmits certain information to the entity that places the cookie. At LOVOO, we use cookies to safeguard our IT security, provide, improve, and analyze our website and make it more appealing, as well as for marketing purposes.

The most common types of cookies are:

1. Transient cookies

These cookies are automatically deleted when the browser is closed. These cookies are mainly session cookies. They store what is known as a session ID, which is used to assign various requests sent to the browser to a common session. This ensures that the user’s computer can be recognized if it returns to the website. Session cookies are deleted when the user logs out or the browser is closed.

2. Persistent or protocol cookies

A persistent or protocol cookie stores a file on the user’s (mobile) end device for the period of time determined by the expiry date. These cookies help websites to remember the user’s information and settings the next time he or she visits. This results in faster and more convenient access, as the user does not have to adjust language settings or other settings again, for example. Once the expiry date has elapsed, the cookie is automatically deleted when the user visits the website that generated it.

3. Third-party cookies

Third-party cookies come from providers other than the website operator. They may be used to collect information for the purposes of advertising, custom content and web statistics.

If placement of a cookie requires consent, you can consent to this on our Consent Management Platform. You can also revoke your consent on the Consent Management Platform at any time with future effect without having to worry about experiencing any disadvantages. You can also object to data processing on the Consent Management Platform if the data processing is based on a balancing of interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.
