A cookie is a small text and number file that we store in your browser or on the hard drive of your computer. This allows us to remember your preferences when you use our website.

When you visit one of our websites, you will be asked for permission to place the different categories of cookies that we use.

Types of cookies that can be found on our website:

Cookies can be subdivided according to their origin, their function and their lifespan. 

First-party cookies are cookies that are placed by a website that is being currently visited by the user.

Third-party cookies are cookies that are placed by a domain name other than that of the website being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and a third party places a cookie via that website, then this is a third-party cookie (e.g. cookies placed by Google, Twitter and
Facebook).

Functional cookies are cookies that ensure that the website functions properly (e.g. cookies for login or registration, language preferences, shopping baskets, etc.). Functional cookies are, logically, first-party cookies.

Non-functional cookies are cookies that can be placed for statistical, social, targeting and commercial purposes. They have nothing to do with the purely technical support of the website. Cookies with statistical purposes make it possible to track which pages of the website you visit, where your computer is located, etc. Cookies with social purposes allow the user to share the content of the visited Website directly with others via social media. Targeting cookies allow a profile to be built up based on your surfing behavior, so that the advertisements displayed are tailored to your interests. Cookies with commercial purposes keep track of how many and which advertisements were shown to a user. Non-functional cookies can be first-party or third-party cookies.

Persistent cookies: These cookies remain on the user's device for the duration defined in the cookie. They are activated each time the user visits the Website that placed this cookie (e.g. cookies placed by social media such as Twitter, Facebook, Google Analytics, etc.). 
Most non-functional cookies are permanent cookies.

Session cookies: These cookies allow the actions of a user to be simplified and to be linked to each other during a browser session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser screen and ends when the user closes the browser screen. Session cookies are placed temporarily. As soon as you close the browser, all the session cookies are deleted.
Most functional cookies are session cookies.
