Why should I activate cookies, isn't there a security risk?
Cookies do not intrinsically present a security risk. A number of renowned and highly security-conscious companies work with cookies, including online banks. For example, cookies cannot be used to determine the e-mail address of a visitor to a Web site, or to send a virus. Actually, LANCOM uses cookies to improve security. They make it difficult to access session IDs. An advantage for you is the convenience of an auto-login, which saves you from having to enter your user name and password every time that you download LCOS. These are the reasons why we recommend that you enable the use of cookies.
Why should I activate Javascript?
Javascript is used to program a number of visual elements on a Web site that improve site design and user friendliness, including pop-up help messages. In order for this help text to be displayed, you must activate Javascript in your browser under "Settings".
What is the double-opt-in method? Why can't registration be simpler?
The double-opt-in method is a proven registration procedure which improves security: The double-opt-in method prevents third-parties from using your name and e-mail address to login to the portal. After registering with our Web site, you will receive an e-mail with a personalized URL. If you wish to take up membership with myLANCOM, all you have to do is to click on that link. You will then land on a page where you enter your password once again as confirmation. You then have direct access to the portal and the LCOS download area.
Can one expect a flood of advertising from LANCOM?
No. LANCOM will not overload your inbox with weekly e-mails. However, we find it important to inform you about innovations and other news on LANCOM products or the latest versions of LCOS. For this reason we expressly recommend that you opt to receive the messages of your choice (e.g. on software updates, product updates, etc.) as selected in the "Info service" section. When necessary, LANCOM will provide you with the relevant information. The monthly newsletter can also be chosen here.
