Cookies
This page lists in full which cookies winku.de, vidono.de and v.winku.de set. They are strictly necessary ones only — we set none for advertising, analytics or sharing with third parties.
When they are set
Simply opening winku.de sets no cookie at all — only signing in, asking about your data without an account or switching the language does. If you are already signed in on winku.de, the other pages take over your sign-in on your first visit by themselves and remember that they have checked it. On vidono.de the sign-in cookie is set as soon as the page opens, because every page there needs a session; it contains nothing but a random identifier.

Getting rid of cookies

Beyond that you can delete all cookies for this site in your browser; the site keeps working, you will just have to sign in and choose your language again.
