Cookie Law
What are cookies?
When you browse the internet, your preferences are stored using cookies.
Cookies are small files that remember your preferences while you browse and store them on your computer.
What do cookies do?
Cookies serve various purposes. First and foremost, they help you browse the web by remembering your login names, passwords, and preferences—such as your language settings. Websites also use cookies to track how many visitors come to a site or to see which parts of the site are popular. In addition, there are cookies that track the websites you visit and use that information to estimate your interests. With this information, advertisers and website administrators can place ads on a website that are of interest to you. Furthermore, cookies can prevent you from seeing the same ad over and over again.
Do cookies know who I am?
No, cookies don’t know your name, address, age, or other personal information. They only remember your preferences and interests based on your browsing behavior.
What happens if I disable cookies?
Thanks to advertising, you can visit most websites for free. And thanks to cookies, the ads are better tailored to your interests. If you disable cookies, you will still see ads, but they will no longer be tailored to your browsing behavior. If you disable the cookies that remember your preferences, you will have to re-enter your settings, such as your passwords and username, every time.
