Other data are required to ensure that the website meets the purposes defined in the contract.

3. What data are processed in the system protocol?

The log file of the website records the following information: IP address of the visiting system (anonymised), authentication fields, date and time our website is accessed, getter/setter method and content of the HTML request, status code of the web server, information about the browser used and the operating system of the user’s device.

 

4.   Use of cookies

As part of our on-going commitment to transparency, we are giving you a brief summary of what cookies are and how and why we use them.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that our web server places on the hard drive of your device. The web server, from which your web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator) has connected to the internet, creates these text files and sends them to your device where they are stored. When you revisit our website, these cookies will recognise you.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can alter the settings in your browser to prevent it from automatically accepting and storing cookies on your device or to notify you each time before a new cookie is placed. You can also delete cookies placed on your system at any time (e.g. in Windows Explorer).

Our website only uses temporary session cookies. Session cookies are small files of letters and numbers (ID) that allow the server to recognise users within a session. For example, they ensure that font sizes chosen or forms already filled in are remembered from page to page. Session cookies are automatically erased when you close your browser; they do not identify users.

We process the personal data you provide to us in the course of our business relationship.
