4. Cookies

Our website uses cookies. These are small files that your browser creates automatically and which are stored on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone and such like), when you visit our site.
 
The cookie stores information that is created in connection with the particular device you are using. This does not mean, however, that it provides us with direct knowledge of your identity.

a. Session cookies (cookie during use of the website)
We use what are known as session cookies, which are necessary for the functionality of the website. The session cookie allocates orders placed for publications and legal zoning plans, as well as enquiries about specific pages, images, or other contents to a user or their terminal device in the content management system and for the duration of the session stores them on the City of Frankfurt Planning Department’s system. This involves a session cookie being placed on the user’s computer.

The session cookie uses an alternative ID address (randomly generated identification number) to store the contents. These are automatically deleted 60 minutes after you leave the site.

b. Font change cookies
We use font change cookies for the purpose of optimizing the user-friendliness of our site. Should you change a default font size to a different one during a visit to our website, the new font size will be stored on this cookie. You will find these cookies under the name “Efasize” in your browser’s cookie settings. The cookies are stored on your terminal device for 60 minutes.

As such, should you revisit our website within the space of one hour to make use of our services, the system automatically recognizes that you have already visited us which font size settings you activated, so that you do not need to enter them again.

The data processed through cookies are required for the stated purposes for the protection of our legitimate interests in accordance with art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.
Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or a notification always appears before a new cookie is created. Nevertheless, complete deactivation of cookies can mean that you are unable to use all the functions of our website.

You can see whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form from the key or lock symbol displayed in the lower status bar of your browser.
We also make use of suitable technical and organizational security measures to protect your data from random or deliberate manipulations, partial or full loss or destruction, and unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continually improved in line with technological developments.
