4 What Exactly Are Cookies?
When you visit our website, we may process personal data using online techniques such as trackers, cookies, scripts and similar technologies (hereinafter referred to as ‘Cookies’). Cookies are small information files that a website asks your browser to store on your device when you visit a website or certain pages of that specific website. The Cookie enables the website to ‘remember’ your actions or preferences over time and apply them to subsequent visits. Examples include your preferred language or information about the pages you have visited.
Cookies contain at least a unique identifier for a visitor and some information
about that user. In addition, the name of the website where the cookie originates from and how long the cookie remains on your device (the expiry date) are usually tracked.
5 Which Cookies Do We Use?
We distinguish between our own Cookies (“first-party Cookies”) and Cookies
processed by third parties (“third-party Cookies”). Our website places Cookies on its own initiative but also has third parties that may possibly place Cookies
(through integrations). More specifically:
– First-party Cookies: these are Cookies that are placed on our initiative.
Only we have access to the information contained in the Cookie.
– Third-party Cookies: these are Cookies that are placed by a third party, i.e.
not by us. With these Cookies, the third party that places them has access
to the data contained in the Cookie in question.
A further distinction can be made based on the specific purpose of the Cookie
(see below). For each of these categories, we will always ask for your consent in advance, unless these Cookies are essential (to provide you with a service you have explicitly requested or for the proper technical functioning of a website).
