What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small file stored by a server on a user’s device (computer, phone, etc.) and associated with a web domain (i.e., usually across all pages of the same website).
Cookies have multiple uses: they can store your preferred language, an identifier to track your navigation for statistical or advertising purposes, etc. Some of these uses are strictly necessary for the functions expressly requested by the user or for establishing communication and are therefore exempt from consent. Others, which do not meet these criteria, require user consent before being read or written.
Cookies used by our web servers are generally called “session cookies,” which are automatically deleted from your device at the end of the browser session. Other cookies remain on your system and allow us to recognize your device on your next visit (so-called persistent cookies).
