In Austria this directive was implemented in § 96 par. 3 of the Telecommunications Act (TKG) and the Data Protection Amendment Act 2018.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files that make it possible to store specific device-related information on users’ access devices (PCs, smartphones, etc.). They serve the user-friendliness of websites (e.g. saving of login data), on the other hand they are also used for recording statistical data of the website usage and to analyse this data for improving the offer. Users can influence the use of cookies. Most browsers offer an option to restrict or completely prevent the storage of cookies. However, we would like to point out that the use and in particular the comfort of use are limited without cookies. Many corporate online advertising cookies can be managed through the US-American site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU-site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/at/praferenzmanagement/ .

How are cookies used?

Our pages use session cookies to store, for example, your chosen language and your display settings (such as contrast and font size). These cookies are removed from your computer when you close your browser. We also use a limited number of persistent cookies. These remain stored on your computer until you delete them or they expire after one year. They contain the following information:

  • state (collapsed or expanded) of some menus and widgets
  • selected tab in the widgets
  • information that allows us to make a web analysis (which pages you have visited, how long you have been on each page, how you found our portal, etc.)

Although accepting cookies is not essential to using the portal’s main features, it makes the browsing experience more enjoyable. You can, however, delete or block these cookies. The cookie information is not intended to identify you personally and the collected data on your browsing behaviour will not be disclosed. The cookies are not used for purposes other than those outlined here.

The access data include: name of the retrieved website, file, date and time of retrieval, amount of data transferred, report on successful retrieval, browser type and version, user’s operating system, referrer URL (previously visited page), IP-address and the requesting provider. We use the log data solely for the purpose of operation, security and the technical optimization of the web server. These data can not be assigned to specific persons. These data will not be merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively, if we become aware of specific indications for illegal use.
