Description

A cookie is a small piece of data that a website asks your browser to store on your computer or mobile device. The cookie allows the websites to "remember" your actions or preferences over time. Most browsers support cookies, but users can set their browsers to decline them and can delete them whenever they like.
Similar technologies like web beacon, transparent GIF and local storage introduced by HTML5, are used to collect information about the user's behaviour and the use of the services.
We use the term “cookie” in this document to describe cookies and all similar technologies.

HbbTV is a standard that enables the integration and display of internet-based content on the TV set. Just like when you access a website with a PC, tablet or mobile phone, your TV is connected to this server via the Internet. When a TV set (HbbTV-enabled and connected to the Internet) switches to the TV channel ‘Peer.tv Südtirol’, the transmission signal contains a URL that activates the TV set to load an application from a server. The application also triggers a signal when the user switches the channel on or off and regularly sends a heartbeat signal as long as the channel remains switched on.

The cookies for analytics and performance are only used if there is explicit consent from the user, i.e. when clicking on the colour-highlighted button provided for this purpose by the "cookie Banner" when using the website for the first time. If this button is not clicked, this is registered as a lack of consent to the cookies for analytics and performance.

Cookie expiry period; how to delete and manage cookies

Specific cookies (session-cookies) are automatically cancelled when closing the browser or logging out. Other cookies “survive” the closing of the browser and are still active at future visits of the user.

These cookies are called durable cookies, their duration is determined at creation. There are cookies with a certain lifetime and unlimited lasting cookies. It cannot be ruled out that due to use of third-party services within our sites permanent cookies are set and modified, which on the part of any third parties are used for purposes of profiling.

Attention: deactivation of cookies can stop the partly or fully usability of services, which are reserved for registered users. All publicly accessible pages function also with deactivated cookies.

The deactivation of third-party cookies does not limit the navigation on our sites. The settings can be exactly adapted for specific websites or web apps. The modernest browsers allow moreover to make varying settings for cookies of the site and for those of third-party suppliers.
