What are cookies

We use the term “cookies” to refer to cookies and similar technologies through which information may be collected automatically.

An “Internet Cookie” (also known as a “browser cookie” or “HTTP cookie” or “cookie”) is a small file made up of letters and numbers that will be stored on a user’s computer, mobile terminal or other equipment through which the internet is accessed.

Cookies are set by a request from a web-server to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome).

Cookies, once installed, have a fixed lifetime and remain “passive” in the sense that they do not contain software programmes, viruses or spyware and will not access the information on the hard drive of the user on whose computer they are installed.

A cookie consists of two parts:

  • the cookie name; and
  • the content or value of the cookie.

From a technical point of view, only the web-server that sent the cookie can technically access it again when a user returns to the web-page associated with that web-server.

2. For what purposes cookies are used through this website:

Cookies are used to provide the users of this website with a better browsing experience and services tailored to the needs and interests of each individual user, namely to:

3. How long do cookies last?

The lifetime of cookies can vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which it is placed. There are the following categories of cookies which also determine their lifetime:

  • Session cookies – A “session cookie” is a cookie that is automatically deleted when the user closes their browser.

  • Persistent or fixed cookies – A “persistent” or “fixed cookie” is a cookie that remains stored in the user’s terminal until it reaches a certain expiry date (which may be minutes, days or several years in the future) or until the user deletes it at any time through the browser settings.
