The platform under the domain name app.powerid.de uses its own technically necessary cookies as to distinguish registered users from non-registered users.
Furthermore, may possibly be used third-party cookies of third-party providers whose contents we use on our company website and our platform. These providers are specifically listed in this privacy policy.
