1. What is a cookie?

Cookies are small text files that your browser saves on your device (computer, phone, tablet, smart TV) when you visit a website. Cookies are used for different purposes, such as session management, remembering preferences, measuring performance and marketing. When combined with other information, cookies may become personal data.

2. Types of cookies

2.3 By purpose

You can later change your choice from the "Manage cookie preferences" link at the bottom of the page and withdraw the consent you gave for non-essential cookies.
• Browser settings: You can delete or block all cookies in your browser's privacy settings; after withdrawing your consent, you can also delete cookies that were already set from there.

If you disable essential cookies, some functions of the site may not work.
