Website Cookies
What is a cookie?
Cookies are small data files that your browser places on your computer or device. Cookies help your browser to navigate a website and the cookies themselves cannot collect any information stored on your computer or your files.
When a server uses a web browser to read cookies, they can help a website deliver a more user-friendly service. To protect your privacy, your browser only gives a website access to the cookies it has already sent to you.
There are different types of cookies:
TYPE |
FUNCTION |
NEEDS CONSENT |
Functional/Necessary |
Functional cookies are necessary for a website to function better and more user-friendly. These are, for example, files that keep track of language preference, font, type of device, etc. |
NO |
Analytical/Statistics |
Websites use Analytical or Statistical cookies to keep track of visitor statistics, among other things. This gives them a better insight into the functioning of the website. Analytical cookies have hardly any impact on privacy. |
NO |
Tracking / Marketing / Third Party Cookies |
Some websites allow other websites to also place cookies on the user's computer: consent is always required. The visitor is followed during the visit to the website and possibly afterwards. This is privacy sensitive information because personal data can also be processed when placing these cookies. These cookies track individual browsing behaviour and set up profiles to enable, for example, targeted advertisements (re-targeting). |
