What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that the website places in your browser so that it can recognise it on a subsequent request – for example, that you are logged in. The browser’s local storage (localStorage, sessionStorage) serves a similar purpose, but its data never reaches the server.
What cookies do we use?
We use only cookies that are strictly necessary for operation. We do NOT place analytics (statistical), advertising, social media or other tracking cookies, nor any third-party cookies.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Type | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| xxl-sales-os-portal-session | Session identifier: remembers the language, the state of forms and – in the demo – your login across pages. Encrypted. | strictly necessary, first-party | until 120 minutes of inactivity |
| XSRF-TOKEN | Protection against form forgery (CSRF attacks). Contains no personal data. | strictly necessary, first-party | 120 minutes |
| xxl_consent | Remembers that you have accepted the legal notices, and which version of them – so that we do not ask you on every page. | strictly necessary, first-party | 12 months |
| xxl_tester | Remembers that you have signed in to your own test environment, so that the browser opens the system in it. Signed; deleted when you sign out. | strictly necessary, first-party | until the end of the trial, no more than 30 days |
| remember_web_… | Only in the demo, if you choose the “Keep me logged in” option: keeps you logged in for a longer period. Encrypted. | strictly necessary, first-party | until logout, no more than 400 days |
Browser storage
A few convenience settings remain in the browser’s local storage, exclusively on your device:
| Key | Purpose | Storage | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| xxl-quote-… | A partially completed quote request wizard, so that you can continue later. Deleted upon successful submission. | localStorage | until submission or deletion |
| ppTheme | The light or dark appearance selected in the demo interface. | localStorage | until deletion |
| demoBannerHidden | Hiding the demo information bar on the given tab. | sessionStorage | until the tab is closed |
| message drafts | A message started but not sent in the demo messenger. | localStorage | until sent or deleted |
External providers
The website does not load any content from external providers: fonts, images and scripts are all served from its own server. If you were to start a payment process in the demo, the payment provider’s own cookies would apply on its site; however, no real payment takes place in the demo.
How can you manage cookies?
You can view, delete or block cookies at any time in your browser settings. However, if you block strictly necessary cookies, certain functions of the website – such as submitting forms or the demo – will not work.

As we use only strictly necessary cookies, no consent is required for them by law [Directive 2002/58/EC Article 5(3)]; nevertheless, we inform you when you open the website and ask you to accept the legal notices.
