What is a cookie?
Cookies are small text files or pieces of information that websites (web servers) store on your computer or mobile device (such as a smartphone or tablet) through your browser when you visit a web page.
Why do we use cookies?
We use cookies for reasons such as:
- making the website work properly;
- making your next visit faster and easier;
- making it easier for users to access certain features;
- showing interest-based advertising;
- making access easier by saving your password, if you wish;
- obtaining analytics data about the website.
Knowing how often and for how long users visit our pages, and which pages they view, is important for website owners and also guides our strategic planning.
What types of cookies are there?
Cookies fall into two main groups according to how long they are stored and what they are used for.
By storage period:
- Session cookies: These cookies keep the website working smoothly while you visit it. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies: These cookies keep your information and choices for your next visit. Unlike session cookies, they remain stored after the browser and device are closed, until they are deleted in the browser settings.
By purpose and origin:
- First-party and third-party cookies: First-party cookies are set by the website itself. Third-party cookies are set on the user’s computer by domains other than the website’s own.
- Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are required for the website to work. They are used for efficient system administration, fraud prevention, and creating user accounts and signing users in.
- Functional cookies: These cookies make visits easier and improve the user experience on the website.
- Analytics cookies: These cookies show which pages attract the most interest, which content and resources are viewed most, and how traffic flows within the site. The information is stored anonymously.
- Advertising cookies: Also known as targeting cookies, these identify content close to the user’s interests so that relevant content and advertising can be shown on later visits.
On this website, Google Analytics cookies are only set after you accept them in the cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time with the “Cookie preferences” link in the footer.
How are cookies collected?
Websites obtain data through the browser and device you use. Each piece of data collected is specific to that device. If you wish, you can delete this data and block access to it.
How can you control cookies?
You can delete the cookies stored in your browser and prevent them from being saved on future visits.
Most browsers accept cookies automatically by default. Because this varies between browsers, you can change it in your browser settings.
Can cookies be blocked?
To change your cookie preferences or to block or delete cookies, simply change your browser settings. Please note that if you disable or refuse cookies, some features and services on our websites may not work properly because we will not be able to recognise and associate your account(s).
