2.9.1 What are cookies?
A cookie is a small file that saves internet settings. Almost every website uses cookie technology. Cookies are downloaded by your web browser the first time you visit a website. The next time you visit this website with the same end device, the cookie and the information stored in it are either sent back to the website that created it (first party cookie) or sent to another website to which it belongs (third party cookie). As a result, the website recognises that it has already been accessed with this browser and in some cases varies the content displayed.

Some cookies are extremely useful as they can improve the user experience when you return to a website that you have already visited several times. Provided that you use the same end device and the same browser as before, cookies remember, for example, your preferences for how you use a page and customise the offers displayed to your personal interests and needs.

2.9.3 Rejecting cookies
Of course, you can also change your browser settings so that you only receive cookies that are absolutely necessary to perform the basic functions of the website - all other cookies would then no longer be accepted. Most browsers accept cookies.

However, if you prefer that we do not collect any data using cookies, you can set your browser's privacy settings to accept some or all cookies or to reject all cookies.

However, if all cookies are rejected, it is possible that not all functions and content of our websites will be available to you. As every browser is set up differently, we recommend that you look in the help menu of your browser to see how you can change the cookie settings.

You can find more general information on the subject of cookies, including the options for deactivating cookies, at aboutcookies.org. It also describes how you can delete cookies from your computer.
