Cookies

A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that a web server sends to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The ID is then sent back to the server whenever the browser requests a page from the server.

Cookies can be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies: the persistent cookie will be stored in the web browser and will remain valid until the expiration date specified, unless deleted by the user before the expiration date. Session cookies expire at the end of a user’s session when the web browser is down.

Cookies usually do not contain any information that personally identifies the user, but the personal information we store may be linked to information stored in and extracted from cookies.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that the websites you visit store on your computer. These files will then allow you to use the same default settings as you did last time when you visit this website.

Temporary cookies are deleted as soon as you close the browser window. These are mainly files that are used to secure and identify the connection between your computer and the website you visit during a single visit.

Persistent cookies remain stored on your computer even after you close the browser window. These cookies can only be read by the server that created them. They are used, for example, to identify you when you sign in (you can remain permanently logged in), to identify a pre-set language that a visitor has set during a previous visit, to display prices in the currency of the previous visit, personalize your ad, track user activity on your site,

Your name or email address can only contain cookies if you have previously provided this information to the website!
