Cookies Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are necessary in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.
Why are cookies used? Cookies may be used for many different purposes. In the first place, cookies can be required to make the website function properly. For example, without cookies, it would be difficult to make a website remember that you have logged in or visited the website before. These are called required cookies.
Cookies can also be used to analyse how a website is used, e.g. to count the number of visitors, or to learn how the website may be improved. All tracking data and website usage are stored anonymously and cannot be linked back to individual website visitors. These cookies are called analytics cookies.
Thirdly, social media cookies are used to enable the integration of social media and your data with the platform in question into the website, so that you can immediately like or share a page without having to reauthenticate your profile.
A fourth important use of cookies is to enable online advertising, which may be personalised to show ads that are more relevant and interesting to you. This is done by (targeted) advertising cookies.
Unless you have set your browser to block cookies completely, this website will utilise the following cookies on your computer.
