Statement on the use of cookies

We, Mercedes-Benz Group AG and Daimler Truck AG, use cookies and similar software tools such as HTML5 Storage or Local Shared Objects (together “cookies”) that are technically necessary to provide this website to you, including all of its functions and services that you use.

1.   Functions and use of cookies

a.    Cookies are small files that are placed on your desktop, notebook or mobile device by a website you visit. From this we can, for example, manage your selections in the online vehicle configurator, maintain your log-in status or manage your shopping cart (as relevant). Cookies may also contain personal data (such as a pseudonymous sequence of characters identifying your browsing session).

b.   You can also visit our website without the use of cookies. This means that you can reject and delete cookies at any time by making the appropriate settings on your device. This is done as follows:

i.      Most browsers are pre-set to automatically accept cookies. You can change this setting by activating the setting *do not accept cookies* in your browser.

ii.      You can delete existing cookies at any time. You can find out how this works in detail in the instructions of your browser or device manufacturer.

iii.     For information on deactivating Local Shared Objects, see the following link: Information on deactivating Local Shared Objects

iv.     Like the use of cookies, their rejection or deletion is also linked to the device used and also to the browser used in each case. You must therefore reject or delete the cookies separately for each of your devices and, if you use several browsers,  also for each browser.

c.    If you decide against the use of cookies, it is possible that not all functions and services of our websites are available to you or that individual functions or services are only available to you to a limited extent.
