2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of data that a website asks your browser to store on your computer, laptop or mobile device when you visit a website or certain pages of that specific website. The cookie allows that website to "remember" your actions or preferences over time and apply them to subsequent visits, for example, your preferred language.
Cookies usually contain the name of the website that issued the cookie, the length of time the cookie remains on your device (the expiry date) and a value that is usually a randomly generated unique number.
A distinction is made between strictly necessary cookies and other cookies.
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the proper functioning of the website, for example for the security of this website and its accessibility. Under the applicable legislation, we are not obliged to ask your permission for the use of such cookies.
A further distinction based on category can be made based on the specific purpose of the cookie. For each of these categories (unless they are strictly necessary) we will ask your permission.
Cookies can be divided into the following categories:
(a) Permanent cookies and session cookies: the task of a permanent cookie is to recognise the web browser for the purpose of repeated visits to the website, while the task of a session cookie is to recognise the web browser during the visit to the website. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device. Session cookies are deleted at the end of each session.
(b) First Party Cookies and Third Party Cookies: First Party Cookies are set by the website itself. Third Party Cookies are set by websites other than our website. This happens when our website contains elements from other websites, such as social media plugins or any advertisements placed on our website.
(c) Performance and functional cookies: Performance cookies monitor how visitors use the website. This enables the website operator to adjust and optimise the content and ease of use of the website (e.g. how many people have visited different pages on the website and which language is most popular among visitors). Functional cookies are cookies that remember your preferences when you use the website, such as your chosen language, and cookies that make the website more user-friendly and improve your user experience.
Cookies will not always contain personal data, but may contain information that can lead to your identification, in which case such a cookie will be treated as personal data. To the extent that a cookie can be considered personal data, our privacy policy applies. More information on privacy, data protection and your rights can be found in our privacy policy.
