What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small datafile that is saved on your computer, tablet or mobile phone when you visit our websites. A cookie is not a program that can contain harmful programs or viruses. Cookies help us identify your computer so that we can tailor your user experience
How/why the homepage uses cookies
Cookies are necessary for the homepage to function. Cookies help us get an overview of your visit to the homepage so that we can continually optimise and adjust the homepage to your requirements and interests. For example, cookies remember that you have previously visited the page and what languages you want displayed on the homepage. We also use cookies to target our ads to you on other homepages. On a very general level, they also help us observe how our visitors use our web pages, and they enable us to design more usable pages and useful content.
We use first party cookies, third party cookies and third-party requests. First party cookies are cookies set by us and can only be read by our site. By default, first-party cookies are allowed in every web browser. If you disable first-party cookies, a web site cannot keep track of your activity as you move from page to page. We use these types of first party cookies: session, http only, secure and persistent.
Third party cookies are set by third parties, mainly advertising networks. These cookies get re-read during a visit on other sites if they do business with these companies as well. For example, we may use cookies for advertising functionality from Facebook.
Third party requests are made from a user to an external service. Despite the fact that these requests don't set any cookies, they can still transfer information to third parties. For example, Google Analytics – a common tool for website analysis – which works through third party requests.
How long are cookies saved?
How long cookies are saved on your device can vary. The time when they are scheduled to expire is calculated from the last date you visited the homepage. When cookies expire, they are automatically deleted. You can view a complete list of cookies in the Cookie Settings.
This is how you can reject or delete your cookies
You can always reject cookies on your computer, tablet or phone by changing your browser settings. Where these settings can be found depends on the type of browser you are using. If you do change the settings, please be aware that there will be some functions and services that you cannot use because they rely on the homepage being able to remember the choices you have made.
You can choose to not receive cookies from Google Analytics here.
