Cookie Policy

On this website HARTING uses cookies which are stored on your end device as soon as you use the website. Cookies are small text files which are stored on your hard disk, assigned to the browser you use. These cookies transfer information, e.g. about the use of a website, to the location which sets the cookie. In this case this can be HARTING itself as the website operator, but also a third party. Cookies do not execute programs and are not able to transfer viruses to your computer. Their main purpose is to make the website more user-friendly and effective, e.g. to save language and country settings so that these are available immediately on your next visit, but also to analyse the individual use of the HARTING website and other websites for marketing and optimisation purposes. A distinction is made between "transient cookies" and "persistent cookies". 

Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser or when you log out. These include in particular session cookies. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the shared session. This enables your computer to be recognised when you return to the HARTING website. 

Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period of time, which may vary depending on the cookie and its respective function. 

Cookies necessary for the operation of this website are set automatically when the website is accessed. 

Other cookies and functionalities of HARTING as website operator and of third parties which are not necessary for use may only be used after your agreement. To this end, when you call up this website, you will be asked to select a selection of permitted cookies and functions. This selection is in turn stored in a cookie for a period of 12 months or until you delete this cookie from your end device.
