Cookies
When you visit your favourite website on more than one occasion, it is helpful when the website recognises you, displays personalised welcome messages and remembers your previous visits to the website. By continuing to browse the site, you are agreeing to our use of cookies.
How does a website recognise you?
Simply by using cookies.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that the server of the website that you visit saves to your hard drive, if you agree.
It contains information, such as:
- the name of the server from which the cookie was sent;
- usually an identifier in the form of a unique ID number;
- an expiry date, if appropriate.
This information is stored on your computer in a simple file to which a server has access in order to read and store information.
A cookie is always connected to a single domain name (the server from which it was sent) and therefore only requests by the same server can have access thereto.
A web browser can store around 300 cookies and a maximum of 20 for the same server. Each cookie can be up to 4,000 octets (around 4 KB) in size.
A cookie allows us to distinguish you from other users of our website, which helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also helps us to improve our site. The cookies we use are “analytical” cookies. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around the site when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. Read more about the individual cookies we use below.
Who can create and read cookies?
A website can only reread and write its own cookies. As a minimum, a cookie contains a unique identifier, which is stored in a database at server level. This identifier allows a website to recognise your computer each time you visit.
Please note that third parties (including for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical/ performance cookies or targeting cookies.
In addition, you should be aware that a webpage is often an aggregation of information from various websites, inter alia, via advertising banners. As a result, cookies may be stored and reread by websites other than the website directly accessed by you.
