Cookies
A "cookie" is a small piece of information sent by a web server and stored on a user’s system (hard drive) so it can later be read back from that system. Using cookies is a convenient technique for having the browser remember some specific information. Linked sites may also make use of cookies.

During the registration process so-called session cookies are required in order to render the website more user-friendly by use of a so-called Single Sign-on concept.

This consists of the creation of a session between the client and the server which allows the browsing of the entire portal without requiring you to re-register when entering a new area of the website. This session is established via use of a cookie, in which a randomly generated number is stored.

Login information (user name, usage/access rights and session validity) are stored on an additional cookie for the sake of granting access. You can consider such data supplementary registration data. Instead of requiring you to re-enter your registration data, the cookie is sent to the server where it serves as a kind of proof of identity and is subsequently accepted.

Most browsers are by default configured to automatically accept cookies. However, you can also configure your browser so that either cookie storage is fully deactivated, or so that you receive a prompt every time a website would like to store a cookie.
