What are cookies?
The website you are currently looking at uses cookies to function. Cookies consist of text files with small pieces of data that are stored by your internet browser on your computer. They allow your computer to identify which websites you have already visited and to save your work-in-progress. Most websites need cookies to function properly. Cookies enable your computer to be identified by websites when you restart your browser. They also make it easier to customise website preferences and help with logging into your account. The use of cookies enables you to browse the web more comfortably and quickly.
In accordance with applicable law, namely Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation, known as “GDPR”), certain cookies are considered personal data due to their nature.
Under applicable law, websites are allowed to store cookies on your devices without your consent only if they are essential for the correct functioning of the website. These are called technical cookies. For all other types of cookies, your consent must be obtained. Their use is implemented only once your consent has been acquired. Until then, the website cannot create them or store them on your computer.
Different types of cookies may be stored on your computer for different lengths of time. Some are deleted once you exit the browser window, others when you close the browser itself. Others are stored on your computer for even longer, up to 25 months, or until you delete them yourself.
