WHAT ARE COOKIES?

A cookie is a small text file that is sent to your device’s hard drive by a website. Each time you return to the same website, your browser retrieves and sends the relevant cookie(s) to the website’s server.

Cookies can be divided into the following two broad categories:

Essential or Necessary cookies. These cookies are essential or necessary to ensure that a website works properly and is secure so that you can navigate a website and use its features. Without these cookies, certain features of a website would not function, and thus you would not be able to use certain services.

Optional cookies. These cookies are non-essential for the website to function and require your consent. When it comes to optional cookies the following distinctions are made:

• Functional cookies or sometimes called convenience cookies. These cookies allow a website to remember the options a user has made and other personalisation options you have selected when browsing.

Furthermore, targeted advertisements can be shown on the basis of user data available to Google (e.g. location data and interests) (target group targeting).
