Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are necessary in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.
Cookies may be used for many different purposes. In the first place, cookies can be required to make the website function properly. For example, without cookies, it would be difficult to make a website remember that you have logged in or visited the website before. These are called necessary cookies.
Cookies are also use to enable a website to remember information that changes the way the website behaves or looks, like your preferred language or the region that you are in. These cookies are called preference cookies.
Thirdly, cookies can also be used to analyse how a website is used, e.g. to count the number of visitors, or to learn how the website may be improved. All tracking data and website usage are stored anonymously and cannot be linked back to individual website visitors. These cookies are called statistical cookies.
A fourth important use of cookies is to enable online advertising, which may be personalised to show ads that are more relevant and interesting to you. This is done by (targeted) marketing cookies.
