What are cookies?

Cookies are small files which are saved and stored on your device (computer, tablet or smartphone) when you are visiting various websites. Typically, a cookie includes the name of its originating website, its “time to live” (that is, how long until it expires), and a randomly generated unique number to identify the browser you're using to connect to the website.

Cookie policy

In providing the content on this website, we use the so-called cookies. These are bits of information that web servers place on a user's device and can access every time that device connects to them. Typically, cookies contain their originating website's domain name, their retention time on the user's device, and the unique number.

We use cookies to:

• adapt the content of our website to your preferences as a user and optimise the use of our web pages; in particular, cookies help us recognise your device and display our website accordingly, taking your individual needs into account;
• generate anonymous statistics to help us understand how users use our website and thus improve its structure and content;
• keep your user session alive once you have logged in to our website so that you do not have to re-enter your login and password on each subpage.

In many cases, your web browsing application (web browser) allows cookies to be placed on your device by default. Users of our website may change their cookie settings at any time. In particular, you may change those settings by disabling automatic cookie handling in your web browser settings or by having the browser notify you each time a cookie is set on your device. Please refer to the settings of your software (web browser) for details on how cookie files can be processed. Should you leave your cookie settings unchanged, cookie files will be placed on your device and we will be able to store certain information there and have access to that information.
