2. Cookie use on the PrismaLife website to provide an electronic signature

When you visit the website for submitting an electronic signature, so-called “cookies” are stored on your device, in which we, as the provider of this website, store data relevant to us, e.g. in order to facilitate surfing on the website for submitting an electronic signature.

There are basically two different types of cookies:

• Session cookies store information used during your current browser session. As soon as you close the browser, these cookies are automatically deleted.
• Persistent cookies store information between multiple visits to the website to provide an electronic signature, so that you are recognised as a returning user on a subsequent visit. This has the advantage for you that your device does not have to be logged in again when you repeatedly visit an encrypted page. These cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them.

In addition, we would like to inform you about the processing of your data in the context of the use of cookies in accordance with the relevant provisions of the GDPR:
