1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how SHS plus GmbH (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on chillware-simulation.com (the “Website”).
Where consent is required, we ask for it through our consent banner before those cookies are set. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through the same banner.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to provide information to the website owner.
Cookies can be “persistent” (remaining on your device until deleted or expired) or “session” cookies (deleted when you close your browser).
The same rules apply to other technologies that store or read information on your device, and where we refer to cookies below we mean all of them:
- Cookies stored by your browser
- Local and session storage held by your browser
- Pixels and tracking scripts loaded by pages you view
- Device or browser fingerprinting, where information about your device is combined to recognise it
When we need your consent
Cookies that are strictly necessary to provide the website you asked for do not require your consent, and cannot be switched off. We use them on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating the site securely.
Every other cookie is used only with your consent. We ask for that consent before any non-essential cookie is set, we record it, and you can withdraw it at any time without giving a reason. Withdrawing is as easy as giving it, and doing so does not affect anything that happened before you withdrew.
