Cookie Information

What are Cookies?

Cookies are data packets that are exchanged between your browser and a website. They are used to store information across multiple pages and thus enable you to use, for example, “My Favourites” on the Berlinale website. Cookies enable the secure transmission of identifiers across your network. Your browser saves them on your computer. Cookies cannot run programmes and are not viruses.

You can determine how your computer handles cookies in your browser settings. You can specify to generally refuse to allow cookies to be set or to be notified when cookies are set. You can also check in your browser settings which cookies have been saved and what information they contain.

Use of Cookies

Cookies are used on this website to integrate certain content. In order to be able to use all the website’s functionalities, it is recommended that you accept third-party cookies in addition to those technically necessary. In this case, you will agree that cookies can also be set by providers from non-European countries or non-EEA countries (e.g. Google and Brightcove from the USA).

If you click on “accept selection” without having previously activated third-party cookies, only cookies that are technically necessary will be set. This means that certain content will not be available. You can change or revoke your cookie choices at any time. Further information can be found in the privacy policy.
