Cookies are small pieces of data that a website asks your browser to store on your computer, laptop, or mobile device when you visit a website or certain pages of that specific site. The cookie allows this website to "remember" your actions or preferences over time and apply them during your subsequent visits, such as your preferred language.

​

Cookies typically contain the name of the website from which the cookie originates, the duration of the cookie's storage on your device (the expiration date), and a value that is usually a randomly generated unique number.

​

A distinction is made between strictly necessary cookies and other cookies.

​

Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the website, for example, for the security of our website and its accessibility. Under applicable legislation, we are not required to ask for your consent for the use of these cookies.

​

Another distinction based on the category can be made depending on the specific purpose of the cookie. For each of these categories (unless they are strictly necessary), we will ask for your consent.

​

Cookies can be classified into the following categories:

• Persistent cookies and session cookies: the task of a persistent cookie is to recognize the web browser for repeated visits to the website, while the task of a session cookie is to recognize the web browser when visiting the website. Persistent cookies remain stored on your computer or mobile device. Session cookies are deleted at the end of each session.

• First-party cookies and third-party cookies: First-party cookies are set by the website itself. Third-party cookies are created by websites other than our website. This occurs when our website contains elements from other websites, such as social media plugins or advertisements placed on our website.

• Performance and functional cookies: Performance cookies monitor how visitors use the website. This allows the website manager to adjust and optimize the content and ease of use of the site (for example: how many people have visited the different pages of the site and which language is the most popular among our visitors). Functional cookies are cookies that remember your preferences when using the website, such as the language you have chosen, and make the website more user-friendly and improve your user experience.

To the extent that a cookie can be considered personal data, our privacy policy applies.
