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:

a) Generally required cookies (session cookies)

We use generally required cookies (session cookies) for the general use of the website to submit an electronic signature. In this way, certain actions performed by you are stored. These cookies are necessary for a functional navigation on the e-signature website. As a user, your visit to the e-signature website will be made easier as you will be able to use various areas of the site in an optimal way. In some cases, the use of these cookies is necessary for the function­ality of the e-signature website, i.e. if they are deacti­vated, individual functions cannot be used.

As a rule, the processing is based on our legit­imate interests pursuant to article 6, paragraph 1, letter f) of the GDPR. Our legit­imate interest is to operate a website with corre­sponding function­al­ities for submitting an electronic signature.

Insofar as you use the inSign software to provide an electronic signature in order to conclude a contract or to manage or terminate an existing contract, the legal basis for the processing of your data is, in derogation of this, article 6, paragraph 1, letter b) of the GDPR (initi­ation or execution of a contract).

As soon as you close the browser, these cookies are automat­i­cally deleted.

b) Function-related cookies (persistent cookies)

Functional cookies (persistent cookies) enable us to tailor the e-signature website to your personal prefer­ences by storing your inputs and selec­tions. These settings are only valid for visits to this website and cannot be used by other websites. This is to enable full use of the e-signature website and better targeting of your personal prefer­ences.

The processing is based on our legit­imate interests pursuant to article 6, paragraph 1, letter f) of the GDPR. Our legit­imate interest is to use appro­priate techniques to improve your user experience. If you do not wish this, you can set up your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and can allow them in individual cases. Please note that deacti­vation may result in a restriction of function­ality on our website.
