Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device as you are browsing. They are processed and stored by your web browser. In and of themselves, cookies are harmless and serve crucial functions for websites. Cookies can also generally be easily viewed and deleted. Cookies cannot be used to obtain personal information from your computer. The only data in a cookie is the data put into by a website’s server, and we do not use tracking cookies.
Cookies cannot read your hard drive to find out information about you; however, any personal information that you give to a Web site, including credit card information, will most likely be stored in a cookie unless you have turned off the cookie feature in your browser. In only this way are cookies a threat to privacy.
None of our cookies are persistent, nor are there any marketing cookies. The following explains cookies.
•Session cookies: These cookies are temporary and expire once you close your browser or once your session ends.
• Persistent cookies: This category encompasses all cookies that remain on your hard drive until you erase them or your browser does, depending on the cookie’s expiration date. All persistent cookies have an expiration date written into their code, but their duration can vary. According to the ePrivacy Directive, they should not last longer than 12-months, but in practice, they could remain on your device much longer if you do not take action and remove them.
• First-party cookies: As the name implies, first-party cookies are placed on your device directly by the website you are visiting.
• Third-party cookies: These cookies are placed on your device, not by the website you are visiting, but by a third party like an analytic system or plugins.
• Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. Cookies that allow web shops to hold your items in your cart while you are shopping online are an example of strictly necessary cookies. These cookies will generally be first-party session cookies. While it is not required to obtain consent for these cookies, what they do and why they are necessary should be explained to the user.
• Preferences cookies: Also known as, “functionality cookies,” these cookies allow a website to remember choices you have made in the past, or what language you prefer.
• Statistics cookies: Also known as, “performance cookies,” these cookies collect information about how you use a website, like which pages you visited, and which links you clicked on. None of this information can be used to identify you. It is all aggregated and, therefore, anonymized. Their sole purpose is to improve website functions. This includes cookies from third-party analytics services as long as the cookies are for the exclusive use of the owner of the website visited.
