What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that can be saved on your computer or mobile device when visiting websites. This text file contains data such as your language preference for a website. When you visit the website again later, this cookie is resent to the website. Then the website recognises your browser, and your language preference can be remembered for example. Cookies also usually have a time limit.

Sometimes you even have to manually delete them (so-called persistent cookies).

Cookies can be saved by the server of the website that you visit or by partners working together on a website. The website server can only read cookies it has saved itself.

The content of a cookie usually consists of the name of the server that has saved the cookie, a date of expiry and a unique numerical code.

Cookies generally make interaction between the visitor and the website easier and faster, while helping the visitor to navigate between the different parts of a website. Cookies can also be used to make the content of a website or advertising on a website more relevant to the visitor, and adapt it in line with the visitor’s personal taste and requirements.
