What are cookies?
Cookies are small files that websites place on your computer's hard drive when you first visit them.
The cookie contains a unique code that enables your browser to be recognized during your visit to the website ("session cookie") or during future repeated visits ("permanent cookie"). Cookies may be placed by the server of the website you are visiting or by partners with whom the website collaborates. A website's server can only read the cookies it has set itself; it has no access to any other information on your computer or mobile device. Cookies are stored on your computer or mobile device in your browser's directory. The contents of a cookie generally consist of the name of the server that placed the cookie, an expiry date and a unique encrypted code.
Important: cookies are completely harmless. They do not erase any data from your computer, alter any files or programs, or contain any viruses.
What are cookies for?
Thanks to a cookie, our website can recognize you while preserving your anonymity. The website takes note of your preferences and automatically adapts to your wishes. But this information is in no way linked to your name or identity. So, for example, these cookies enable you to surf directly in your own language, so you don't have to fill in your login details every time. In short, they make using this website much faster and more pleasant.
Cookies can help you to be more efficient. Have you ever put an item in a virtual shopping cart on an online store, returned a few days later and seen that your item was still there? That's just one example of how cookies work.
Cookies can also be used to make website content or advertising more relevant to the visitor, and to tailor the website to the visitor's personal tastes and needs.
