What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that is placed in the browser of your computer or mobile device by a website's server when you consult the website. The cookie contains a unique code that allows your browser to be recognised during your visit to the website (a so-called 'session' cookie) or on subsequent, repeated visits (a so-called 'permanent' cookie). Cookies can be placed by the server of the website you visit or by partners with which this website cooperates. A website's server can only read the cookies it has placed itself; it has no access to other information located on your computer or mobile device. Cookies are stored on your computer or mobile device in your browser's folder. The content of a cookie usually consists of the name of the server that placed the cookie, an expiry date and a unique number code.

Cookies generally make interaction between the visitor and the website easier and faster and help the visitor to navigate between different parts of a website. Cookies can also be used to make a website's content or advertising on a website more relevant to the visitor and customised to their personal tastes and needs.
