WHAT IS A COOKIE?

Cookies are small data files or small text files that are stored on your local computer (or on other devices with Internet access such as smartphones or tablets) when you visit websites. They contain information about the website in question. Cookies are stored in a specific directory on your hard drive and have a unique ID and a specific duration. When you re-visit a certain website, the cookies are re-sent to the website, enabling it to recognise you as a returning visitor and certain preferences that you have indicated beforehand (such as your preferred language).

Cookies can be categorised according to their lifetime, origin and type.

A distinction can first be made between cookies on the basis of their lifetime, namely: “session cookies” and “persistent cookies”. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies are saved on your computer/device for a pre-determined period of time (or until you delete them manually (see below).

As regards the origin of cookies, a distinction can be made between what is known as “first party cookies” and “third party cookies”. First party cookies are placed and managed by ourselves. They ensure our website operates correctly and make it possible to save your preferences (such as your preferred language). Third party cookies are created by a third party and placed on your computer.

As regards cookie types, a distinction can be made between:

  • Functional cookies: these cookies ensure the website operates correctly.
  • Non-functional (analytical) cookies: these are cookies that are used, in particular, for statistical, performance analysis, tracking or advertising purposes. These cookies make it possible, for example, to obtain statistical information about the website (such as the number of visitors to the site or the most frequently consulted subjects, etc.). Other cookies track visitors on the website (browsing behaviour) and create a user profile that can be used subsequently for advertising purposes, for example.
