Cookie policy
What are cookies and what are they for?
Cookies are small data files that are important for websites to work properly and conveniently. You can think of cookies as a website's memory: it uses them to recognise you when you visit again from the same device.
Cookies are not dangerous, but they matter for privacy. Cookies cannot be used to identify the visitors of a website or to misuse login credentials.
So what are cookies actually used for?
Our website remembers, for a certain period, the actions you have taken and your preferences, so you do not have to enter them again and move from one page to another. If you give us your consent, cookies also allow us to use basic information about you for analytical and marketing purposes. For example, to show you only relevant online advertising tailored to you. They also allow us to adapt our website so that you can quickly find what you are looking for.
A little curiosity for you…
Did you know that the word cookie means a small biscuit or sweet bun in English? The name for these text files was coined in 1994 by the programmer Lou Montulli. His idea came from the Anglo-Saxon custom of offering a visitor a cookie to create a friendly atmosphere more quickly.
