Temporary cookies / Persistent cookies

“Temporary cookies”, or “session cookies”, are cookies that are temporarily stored on your computer or mobile device during the browsing session and are deleted when you close your browser. “Persistent cookies” remain on your computer or mobile device after you close your browser and will recognize you when you revisit the website. These persistent cookies are typically deleted after a certain expiration date.

First-party cookies / Third-party cookies

“First-party cookies” are cookies that are placed directly by the website administrator and that can only be read by the website. “Third-party cookies” are cookies that are placed on the website by third parties and/or used to send certain information about your visit to a third party. This may, for example, occur because the website contains elements of other websites, such as images or social media plug-ins. When the browser or other software retrieves these elements from other websites, the cookies placed by those other websites are regarded as third-party cookies.

“Necessary cookies” or “Essential cookies” are cookies that are necessary for the proper functioning of the website (e.g., to avoid overload on the website, keeping it functional and accessible). “Functional cookies” are cookies that are necessary to improve your browsing experience or to provide a functionality explicitly requested by you (e.g. remembering your login, but also e.g. playing videos). Essential cookies and functional cookies can be placed without your consent.

“Analytical cookies” are cookies that collect information about how you use the website to improve search engine hits and the functioning of the website (e.g. we see how visitors move around the website when they are using it to ensure that visitors easily find what they are looking for). “Advertising cookies” are cookies that collect information about your surf, search and buying behaviour in order to offer you personalized advertising in ad spaces on websites based on your personal interests. Furthermore, some cookies make it possible to share certain features from the website on social media networks (i.e. Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter).
