What is a cookie?
A cookie is a text file placed on your computer or other IT equipment
A cookie enables recognition of your computer and the collection of information on what websites and functions have been visited. It helps maintain your settings when you are navigating a website or return to the same website at a later point. Cookies are sometimes used to collect information which is considered personal data, such as your IP address and information related to the IP address, but no information directly related to you as an individual. Cookies are used by practically all websites and the website/Digital Channel is often dependent on cookies to function.
Cookies are either deleted automatically when the user turns off its web browser (so-called "session cookies"), or are stored on the user's computer to facilitate future visits on the website (so-called "permanent cookies"). Permanent cookies should also be deleted, either automatically or after a certain period.
