About Cookies

When you visit our websites, information may be placed in the form of a "cookie" on your computer. Cookies are small text files that are copied from a web server to your hard drive. Cookies contain information that can later be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. The cookies we use do not contain personal information and are not combined with any.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called session cookies, which are required to keep your visit consistent — for example, to ensure no separate login is required, and to keep certain preferences or other information during the session without needing to re-capture them. We also require session cookies to ensure that a specific offer you clicked on is assigned to your request (e.g. for promotional or discount offers). These session cookies are automatically deleted when the session ends. We also use cookies to recognise a subsequent visit to the site if you show interest in particular offerings, which allows us to show you a targeted display on the site — this assignment is done only on abstract criteria (e.g. "BMW") and is not traced to individual people. These cookies have a lifespan of one year and are then automatically deleted. Finally, we require advertising partners' cookies in order to settle accounts with our advertising partners; these details are also abstract and not traced to people.

You have the option to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to reject them. If cookies are rejected, some features of this website may no longer function correctly. If cookies are accepted, you can delete them at a later date via your browser's settings. If you delete cookies, any settings controlled by those cookies — including advertising preferences — are also deleted and can no longer be recovered.

We make use of the following cookies:

• Session cookies, which are required for the functionality of this website.
• Analytics cookies, which allow us to understand how our visitors interact with this website. We utilise Google Analytics and other standard analytics software.
• Advertising cookies from our advertising partners. These cookies are set by our advertising partners (e.g. Google AdWords) and are not directly used by this website.
