What are cookies?

A cookie is a file that websites place on the computers of visitors for the following purposes:

Functional

To make it easier to use (parts of) the website, e.g. to recognise users during repeat visits, to recognise preferences and to quickly complete forms.

To collect visitor statistics and to use them to further improve and renew the website.

Commercial

To monitor viewing behaviour of individual visitors and to use this information for commercial initiatives, e.g. by providing specific information based on specific clicking behaviour.

There are various types of cookies, but legislation makes a distinction between functional and non-functional cookies. Functional cookies are not subject to legislation. However, non-functional cookies, which include analytical and commercial cookies, are subject to legislation. The latter also include cookies placed by e.g. Google Analytics and many other social sharing buttons on social media networks.
