2.   Use of cookies

It is also possible to access our website without cookies, but it may alter the utilization or the availability of the website. However, if you wish to use the full functionality of our websites, you must accept the cookies that enable certain functions or make them more convenient. 

Most browsers are configured by default to accept all cookies automatically. In addition to your rights as a data subject, you may at any time object to the use of cookies by setting your browser so that it does not accept cookies, accepts only certain cookies, or notifies you as soon as cookies are sent. As a result, you may not be able to use all the features of our websites to their full extent.

Please note that your selection only affects the browser you were using when you made your choice. If you use other browsers or devices, you may need to redo your cookie selection. In some circumstances, settings may be reset to default after updates or if you delete cookies from your browser, which means we may ask you to make your cookie selection again the next time you visit our website.

3. What cookies do we use?

We generally use cookies belonging to the following categories:

Cookies can be stored on your device for a longer period or temporarily.

So-called permanent cookies are stored on your device for a certain period of time, until the specified expiration date of the cookie (or until you delete it first). This saves language settings, for example, so that you don't have to change them again for our website.

On the other hand, a so-called session cookie temporarily stores a session identifier while you are active on our website. This prevents you from having to log in again when you change pages, for example. Session cookies are deleted when you log out, or lose their validity once your session has expired.

A first-party cookie is a cookie we set up as data controller or by our processor (GDPR, art.28). The AUDI company operating the website (see legal notice) is responsible for data processing. This AUDI company processes the data collected by first-party cookies for its own purposes, whether it has programmed the cookie itself or uses the cookie of another legal entity.

Please find below a summary of the cookies we use, which aims to provide you with information about the purpose and type of the respective cookie and its storage period.
