What are cookies?
To offer you a better service when visiting websites, most sites use cookies. These are useful techniques that collect and use information. This makes websites easier to use. Cookies are small text files that a website puts on your computer’s hard drive when you visit the site.
Cookies, for example, ensure that you can remain logged in on a website or that your preferences, such as location and language settings, are remembered. Cookies also enable website owners to see how often their sites – and which pages – are viewed by visitors.
Important to know: the use of cookies is safe. Email and telemarketing campaigns are not the result of cookies. Cookies do not save your email address or telephone number, nor do they build up a profile that can be traced back to a person.
