Cookie Policy
What are cookies?
Cookies are small files that websites place on your computer's hard drive the first time you visit.
The cookie contains a unique code that allows your browser to be recognised during your visit to the website (a "session cookie") or during future repeat visits (a "persistent cookie"). Cookies may be placed by the server of the website you are visiting or by partners with whom that website collaborates. The server of a website can only read the cookies it has placed itself; it does not have access to any other information stored on your computer or mobile device. Cookies are stored on your computer or mobile device in your browser's directory. The content of a cookie generally consists 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, do not alter any file or programme, and cannot contain any virus.
What are cookies used for?
Thanks to a cookie, our website can recognise you while preserving your anonymity. The website takes note of your preferences and automatically adapts to your wishes. However, this information is in no way linked to your name or identity. For example, these cookies allow you to browse directly in your own language and save you from having to re-enter your login details every time. In short, they make using this website much faster and more enjoyable.
Cookies can also help you to be more efficient. Have you ever put an item in a virtual shopping basket on an online shop and returned a few days later to find that your item was still there? That is an example of cookies at work.
Cookies may also be used to make the content of a website or the advertising displayed on it more relevant to the visitor, and to tailor the website to the visitor's personal tastes and needs.
