COOKIE POLICY
Last updated April 14, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Bundesverband der Börsenvereine an deutschen Hochschulen (BVH) e.V. ("we," "us," and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://bvh.org. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
In some cases we may use cookies to collect personal information, or information may become personal information if we combine it with other information.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make websites work, to work more efficiently, and to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as embedded content, analytics, or advertising.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate; we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies help us understand the use of our online properties, provide functionality, or improve content and embedded services. Third parties may serve cookies through our Website for analytics, advertising, and other purposes.
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Preference Center. The Cookie Preference Center allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected because they are strictly necessary to provide the Website.
The Cookie Preference Center can be found in the notification banner and on our Website. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Website, though access to some functionality and areas may be restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.
The specific types of first-party and third-party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described below. Please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the online properties you visit.
Performance and functionality cookies:
These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Website but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality, such as embedded videos, may become unavailable.

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use similar technologies from time to time, such as web beacons, tracking pixels, or clear GIFs. These tiny graphic files contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email containing them. This allows us, for example, to understand traffic patterns, communicate with cookies, improve site performance, and measure the success of email communications. In many instances these technologies rely on cookies to function properly, so declining cookies may impair their functionality.
Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?
Websites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" or Local Shared Objects ("LSOs") to collect and store information about your use of our services, support fraud prevention, and provide other site operations. If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player accordingly. Please note that restricting Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications.
Do you serve targeted advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to provide advertising through our Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide them.
How often will you update this Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
