WHAT’S A COOKIE?
A cookie is a small text file received and stored by your browser. Information in the cookie makes it possible for a website to recognise a specific browser installation and thus send individualised information to this installation. A cookie can contain text, numbers, dates etc. but it does not hold any personal information. A cookie is not a program and it cannot have a virus.
HOW TO AVOID COOKIES
If you do not wish to receive cookies, you can set up your browser to block all cookies, delete existing cookies from your computer’s hard disk drive or issue a warning before any new cookie is downloaded. Please consult your web browser's Help function for instructions on how to do this.
WHAT’S THE LIFETIME OF A COOKIE?
A cookie’s lifetime varies depending on the purpose for which it has been created. Some cookies disappear as soon as the browser is shut down (temporary cookies) while others can live on for several months (permanent cookies). Many providers specify a 12 or 24 months lifetime on advertisement, statistics and content-related cookies. Cookies with a specified lifetime will have a new expiration date set each time the site to which a cookie is related is revisited. You can always force the immediate deletion of the cookies on your computer. Please consult the web browser's Help function for instructions on how to do this.
COOKIES USED ON THIS WEBSITE
We distinguish between cookies sent by our website, (first-party cookies) and those sent by the website of one of our partners, e.g., Google Analytics (third-party cookies). In most browsers, it is possible to define settings that control the acceptance of cookies on the computer. If you wish to restrict or block web browser cookies set on your device, then you can do this through your browser settings; the Help function within your browser should tell you how. Alternatively, you may wish to visit www.aboutcookies.org, which contains comprehensive information on how to do this on a wide variety of desktop browsers.
THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
Google Analytics
Google Analytics uses cookies to gather statistics about our website, e.g. the number of visits, the number of clicks, time spent on the website etc. Google Analytics deposits the following third-party cookies at our website:
utma cookie
This is a permanent cookie used to track the number of visits to the website, the date first visited and the date last visited. The cookie does not make user identification possible.
utmb and utmc cookies
These are temporary cookies. These two cookies form a pair, which calculates the time spent on the website. _utmb expires when a session ends, while _utmc lives on for 30 minutes after the session has ended. A cookie has no information about when you leave a website or shut down the web browser. Therefore, it waits 30 minutes to see if further pages are being shown before declaring a session ended.
utmz cookie
This cookie typically lives for 12 hours. The cookie tracks the origin of the visitor, e.g. which search engine was used and what search criteria were used.
