Cookies

 

In order to make this site work properly, we sometimes install small data files called ‘cookies’ on your device. Most large sites do the same.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that websites save on your computer or mobile device while you are visiting them. With cookies, the site remembers your actions and preferences (e.g. login, language, font size and other display settings) so that you don't have to re-enter them when you return to the site or navigate from one page to another.

How do we use cookies?

On some pages we use cookies to remember

• your display preferences, e.g. contrast settings or font size

• if you have already responded to a pop-up survey about the usefulness of the content you found, to avoid repeating it

• whether you have authorised the use of cookies on the site.

In addition, some videos placed on our pages use a cookie to anonymously process statistics about how you arrived on the page and which videos you watched.

It is not necessary to enable cookies for the site to work, but doing so improves navigation. You can delete or block cookies, but in this case some functions of the site may not work properly.

Cookies are not used to identify you and your browsing data remains under our control at all times. These cookies serve exclusively for the purposes described here.

How to control cookies?

You can control and/or check cookies as you wish - to find out more, go to aboutcookies.org. You can delete cookies already on your computer and set most browsers to block them from being installed. If you choose this option, however, you will have to manually change some preferences each time you visit the site and it is possible that some services or functions will not be available.
