10 Cookies for Behavioral Content on a Website

.

We want to present the most relevant information possible to visitors to our website. For this reason, we always strive to customize our website for each individual visitor in the best possible way. We do this not only through the content on our website, but also through the advertising that is displayed.

In order to make these adjustments, we try to get an idea of your possible interests based on the ELEKTRON websites you visit, thus creating a segmented profile. Based on these interests, we then customize the content and advertisements on our website for a variety of customer groups. For example, let's say your browsing behavior shows that you have interests similar to the category "Male between 30 and 45, married with children, interested in soccer." This group will naturally be presented with different ads than the "Female between 20 and 30, single, interested in travel" category.

Third-party vendors who set up cookies through our website may also attempt to determine your interests in this way. In this case, information about your current visit to our website may be combined with information about your previous visits to websites other than ours.
