What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that your browser stores when you visit a website. They make it possible to remember settings, analyse usage behaviour and personalise advertising. Similar technologies such as sessionStorage keep information only for the duration of a browser session.

Retention period
Analytics cookies from Google Analytics have a lifetime of up to 13 months; the associated measurement data is deleted after 14 months. Marketing cookies last between 30 and 180 days depending on the provider. In addition, handy-abo.com runs its own server-side audience measurement entirely without cookies — IP addresses are stored only in hashed form.
