Cookie Policy
We use cookies on our Internet pages. Cookies are text files stored and saved on a computer system via an Internet browser.
Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies have a cookie ID, which is an identifier that allows cookies’ unique identification. This ID consists of a string that Internet pages and servers can assign to the Internet browser in which the cookie is stored. This allows visited websites and servers to distinguish an individual’s browser from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A particular web browser can be recognized and identified by its unique cookie ID. By using cookies, we can offer users of this website more user-friendly services that would not be possible without cookies.
Through the cookie we can optimize the information and offers on our website for the user. Cookies, as we already mentioned, allow us to recognize our website’s users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, users of a website that uses cookies do not need to reenter their credentials each time they visit the website because the website and the cookie stored on the users’ computer system do this. Another example is the shopping cart cookie in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that customers place in their virtual shopping cart through a cookie.
By setting the Internet browser appropriately, the person concerned can prevent the creation of cookies via our website and thus permanently reject cookies. Furthermore, the person concerned can delete preset cookies at any time via an Internet browser or other software. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the person concerned deactivates the cookie setting in the Internet browser, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

If you do not agree to this collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information, please do not use ITSS’s website or otherwise provide ITSS with your personal information.
