Cookies under control: What users need to know!
Cologne, July 14, 2025 - In today's digital world, cookies are a frequently discussed topic, especially in connection with data protection and web applications. A recent report reminds us that not all cookies are treated equally, especially when it comes to the functionality of websites. According to Landkreis Passau, necessary cookies are essential to maintain the basic functions of a website.
These cookies are often set in response to user actions such as setting privacy preferences or filling out forms. It is important to know that these cookies do not store any personal data, which ensures a certain level of privacy. However, if a user sets their browser to block these cookies, this could affect the functionality of certain areas of the website.
What are necessary cookies?
A closer look at some of the main cookies shows how they work:
- Name: ASP.NET_SessionId
Dauer: Bis zum Beenden der Browsersession
Art: 1st Party

Beschreibung: Dieses Sitzungscookie hilft, eine anonymisierte Benutzersitzung durch den Server aufrechtzuerhalten. - Name: __RequestVerificationToken

These cookies show that they are essential for the functionality of the website. Microsoft also points out that cookies play an essential role as data sent by the server in an HTTP response. They allow states to be shared between client and server, supporting the user experience without putting personal information at risk.
Data protection and consent
The discussion about cookies also revolves around the topic of consent. According to the provisions of the TTDSG, no consent is necessary if only absolutely necessary cookies are used, which relieves the burden on operators and minimizes the effort required to obtain consent. According to Baden-Württemberg Data Protection, only non-essential cookies require the active consent of the user.
It is important that operators design their websites in a data protection-friendly manner in order to avoid the transmission of personal data. Examples of this include local integrations or the use of two-click solutions that only become active after confirmation by the user.
The topic of cookies shows us how important it is to handle data consciously. While necessary cookies are essential for functionality, issues of consent and data protection are becoming increasingly important. So it remains to be hoped that website operators have a good hand in implementing and managing their cookie policies.
In a world that is becoming increasingly digital, it will be exciting to see how the handling of cookies and data protection will develop in the future.
