What is a cookie?

Information is recorded in a text file, such as your language preference for a website. When you visit the website again later, this cookie is sent back to the website. This way, the website recognizes your browser and can remember your language preference, for example.

Other tracking mechanisms may also fall under “cookie regulation” (see the broad definition in Article 10/2 of the law of July 30, 2018, on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data (“framework law”)).

This includes tracking in smartphone applications and other techniques such as using pixels, device fingerprinting, local storage, etc.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
