Cookies are small pieces of information in the form of text files, created by a program on the server of the Website and Platform, which are then placed on the hard drive of your computer when you use the Website or Platform (or on any other device through which you use the Website or Platform).
The Website and Platform uses cookies to identify you as a user of the Platform, to remember your preferred language, and to facilitate navigation on the Website and Platform for you.

3. Where do cookies come from?
Based on the origin of the Cookies, we make a distinction between first-party Cookies and third-party Cookies.
First party Cookies
First-party Cookies are direct Cookies that we manage ourselves. They are specific to the site or online service visited or used. It is the online service or site that creates and places the Cookies in order to function properly, for example by visiting them.
Third Party Cookies
Third party Cookies are Cookies that are managed or placed by a third party, set by a domain other than that of the visited site itself, ... Third party Cookies ensure that certain data is sent to third parties by your visit or use of a site or online service. For example, social media Cookies or Cookies from advertisers, which ensure that you see advertisements. Although we do not manage or place these Cookies ourselves, we do our utmost to ensure that the placement of these Cookies by third parties through our platforms is as controlled as possible.
A distinction can also be made between Cookies that delete themselves immediately after a session and Cookies that expire over time.
Session Cookies
Cookies created and active during a browser session. A browser session starts when you open the browser window and ends when you close the browser window. Session Cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session Cookies are deleted.
Permanent Cookies
Cookies that remain on your computer or mobile device until you delete them manually or until they expire.
