What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file which stores Internet settings. Almost every website uses cookie technology. When you visit a website for the first time, your Internet browser will download them. The next time you access this website with the same terminal, the cookie, and the information stored in it, is either sent back to the website that generated it (first-party cookie), or to another website it belongs to (third-party cookie). In this way, the website can tell that it has already been accessed before with this browser, and will in some cases vary the shown content. Some cookies are particularly useful, because they can improve the user experience when revisiting a website you have already visited many times. Assuming you use the same terminal and browser, cookies can, for example, remember your preferences, inform us how you use a page, and adapt the displayed content to better suit your personal interests and requirements.

Your cookie settings on this website

"Strictly necessary" cookies fulfil functions without which you would not be able to use this website in the desired way. These cookies are used exclusively by PEM Gesellschaft m.b.H., and are therefore so-called first-party cookies. They are stored into your computer only during the current browser session. Strictly necessary cookies may for example, when changing pages, guarantee the functionality of a switch from http to https, and thus ensure that high-security demands on data transfer are adhered to. Last but not least, a cookie of this type also monitors your willingness to use cookies on our website. Your consent is not required for the use of strictly necessary cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies cannot be deactivated via the function on this page. Generally speaking, you can deactivate cookies in your browser at any time. Examples of approval-free cookies / list of approval-free cookies.

First-party cookies used on this website requiring approval

Cookies that in a strictly legal sense are not absolutely necessary in order to use this website fulfil important functions. Without these cookies, applications which make it easy to surf our website, such as pre-filled forms, are no longer available. Settings that you have applied, such as a choice of language, cannot be stored, and so every time you change pages a new query is required. Apart from that we are then unable to assist you with customised offers.

Use of subject-to-approval third-party cookies on this website

PEM Gesellschaft m.b.H. also integrates the content of third parties into this website. An example of this is the inclusion of Facebook services or YouTube videos. These third-party hosts can theoretically set cookies while you are using the PEM Gesellschaft m.b.H. website, and can for instance find out that you retrieved a PEM Gesellschaft m.b.H. website. Please visit the third-party websites to find out how they apply cookies. If you have decided not to consent or to revoke to the use of cookies which require your approval, you will only be able to use the functions on our website that are available without these cookies. Website sections in which third-party content may be included and thus third-party cookies may be set are, in this case, no longer available to you. A corresponding message informs you of this. If in this case you nonetheless wish to use these website features, you can only do this by consenting to use such cookies that require your approval. Please use the function we have made available for this purpose at the corresponding place in our website. If you generally want to avoid the cookie function, you can adjust this in your browser accordingly.
