About cookies

A cookie is a small text file that the website you visit stores on your computer. There are two types of cookies.

The first type is a so-called permanent cookie. This is a file that is saved on your computer for a longer period of time. These are used, for example, with functions that describe what is new since the user last visited the website. This type of cookie is used, for example, to remember your previous cookie consent.

The other type of cookie is called a session cookie. During the time you are browsing a site, information is temporarily stored in a cookie in your computer's memory, for example to remember which language you have chosen. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser.

Change the settings in your browser

If you don't want to accept cookies, you can change the settings in your browser so that you automatically refuse cookies or prompts every time a website requests to store a cookie. In your browser, you can also delete previously stored cookies. You can find more information on your browser's help pages.
