What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites you visit. A cookie stores information about your click behaviour, for example, or your personal settings. Then, when you visit the website again, this data can be re-read. This enables, for instance, your data to be entered automatically when you want to download something from our website.
Because cookies are specific to the server that created them, they cannot be accessed by other servers. This means that cookies cannot be used to track your behaviour on the internet. Cookies identify a user's computer, not the individual user. Most web browsers automatically accept all cookies. If you do not want this, you can indicate in your browser which cookies you want to accept or refuse.
