Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookies ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognised and identified using the unique cookie ID. Using cookies, LHP can provide the users of their website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilise our website. The website user that uses cookies e.g., does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the website, and the cookies are stored on the user's computer system. The data subject may, at any time prevent the setting of cookies through our website using a setting on their own browser being used and so deny the setting of cookies. Already set cookies may be deleted at any time via the internet browser. This is possible on all popular internet browsers. If an individual deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.
