- it actually only affects users who are about to log into WordPress

- it informs the Wordfence admin when an admin logs in from a new device or location
- it also informs the website operator if an admin login has taken place from a new device or location
- the cookie is intended for administrators
- the site visitor has the ability to bypass country blocking by accessing a hidden URL. This cookie can be used to check who is allowed to bypass the country block
- it won’t be used for someone who doesn’t know the hidden URL, but only applies country blocking to those visitors who directly visit the hidden URL
- it supports website operators to allow specific users to blocked countries even though their country has been blocked
- What it does: For users who use 2FA when logging in, this cookie allows them to log in with the same browser without requiring 2FA each time, for up to 30 days.
- Who gets this cookie: This cookie is only set for users who enable the “Remember for 30 days” checkbox while logging in. This option is also only available if the admin has enabled “Allow remembering device for 30 days”.
- How this cookie helps: This is a convenience feature. It allows users to log in without the extra step of 2FA after having successfully logged in from the same browser with 2FA.

3. Applications and Application Process
We publish our job offers on both our own website (via Google Jobs) and on external platforms such as social media and job portals (e.g. Federal Employment Agency, Indeed). This serves our interest in providing as much information as possible about our vacancies. We always give you the opportunity to apply directly to us via email. In some cases, the platforms offer their own forms in which applicants (m/f/d) can provide their information and thus submit their application. As soon as you decide not to send your application directly to us but rather via the application form, you accept the terms and conditions and data protection guidelines of the respective provider. KVS GmbH has no influence on the design of the forms or on the processing of your data and storage period by these providers. We regularly delete the information that we receive after the application process has ended. We therefore always recommend sending an application directly to us by email. The person responsible for processing collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application process. Processing can also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits relevant application documents to the person responsible for processing electronically, for example by email or via a web form on the website. If the person responsible for processing concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal regulations. If the person responsible for processing does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted no later than two months after the rejection decision is announced, provided that deletion does not conflict with any other legitimate interests of the person responsible for processing. Other legitimate interests in this sense include, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
