What is a cookie? 


A cookie is a small piece of data that a website asks your browser to store as text strings on your computer’s hard-disk.

 

What types of cookies do we distinguish?


Depending on their origin, cookies can be either first-party cookies, which are placed and managed by the Agency, or third-party cookies, which are placed and managed by a third party. We use only first-party cookies on our Portal.


All cookies are set with expiry dates which determine how long they reside on your browser. Depending on their lifespan, cookies can be two types:

  • Session cookies are stored in your browser during the session and are deleted when you close the browser, log out or when the session expires.
  • Persistent cookies are stored longer than the session and are not deleted until they have reached their expiry date, a new version of the cookie is placed, or the cookie is deleted manually.

Depending on their purpose, we use strictly necessary cookies, which are essential in order to use our Portal. We also use functional cookies to collect information about your preferences to improve the functioning of our website to you.

 

Which cookies does this website use?


This website makes use of four first-party cookies, namely SECSESSID which stores the session ID of the user.

In principle, the Agency does not share your personal data with anyone other than the persons who work for the Agency, as well as with the suppliers who help us process your personal data. Anyone who has access to your personal data will always be bound by strict legal or contractual obligations to keep your personal data safe and confidential.

If your browser is NOT configured, by default, to block all or certain cookies, you may manually configure your browser to either reject all cookies or control which cookies are set on your device through this Portal.
