Cookies do not harm your computer or mobile device, nor the files stored in your computer. However, cookies cannot identify a user if used on their own. If you disable cookies, certain elements offered by the website may become unavailable, while others may not work as intended.
Cookie categories:
- Necessary: the technically mandatory ones for the operability of the website (i.e., design, security). Necessary cookies help make a website usable by enabling essential functions like page navigation and access to secure website areas. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.
- Performance: to measure the performance of certain elements that appear on the website, e.g., videos, or to optimize the website’s performance and functionality.

- Statistical/Analytical: Statistic cookies help website owners understand how visitors interact with websites by collecting and reporting information anonymously.
- Marketing cookies display relevant and engaging ads for the individual user.
- Session cookies allow websites to recognize and link the actions of a user during a browsing session. Cookies can also be used for security purposes. These session cookies expire after a session ends, so they would not be stored beyond this.
- Persistent cookies are stored on a user’s device in between sessions. They can allow the preferences or actions of the user across a site (or across different websites) to be remembered. Persistent cookies have a variety of purposes, e.g., to remember users’ preferences and choices or to target advertising. Users can manually delete previously set persistent cookies or configure the browser settings to delete cookies at a set interval.
- First-party cookies are set directly by the website the user is visiting.
- Third-party cookies are installed by a third domain. This typically occurs when the website incorporates elements from other sites, such as images, social media plugins, or advertising. When the browser or other software fetches these elements from the other sites, they can also set cookies.
