According the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR),
GDPR Definition of Cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device as you are browsing. They are processed and stored by your web browser. In and of themselves, cookies are harmless and serve crucial functions for websites. Cookies can also generally be easily viewed and deleted.
However, cookies can store a wealth of data, enough to potentially identify you without your consent. Cookies are the primary tool that advertisers use to track your online activity so that they can target you with highly specific ads. Given the amount of data that cookies can contain, they can be considered personal data in certain circumstances and, therefore, subject to the GDPR.
Currently, this site uses what the General Data Protection Regulation refers to as "strictly necessary cookies", "preferences cookies", and "statistics cookies".
While this site technically only uses one cookie,
the information that is stored about the user browsing this website falls into each of the three categories below:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site.
Cookies that allow web shops to hold your items in your cart while you are shopping online are an example of strictly necessary cookies.
These cookies will generally be first-party session cookies. While it is not required to obtain consent for these cookies, what they do and why they are necessary should be explained to the user.
This site uses strictly necessary cookies to store your site preferences while you use the site. This includes your customization of the site's theme, your cookie preferences, the previous page you visited, your authentication level, and the type of device you are using.
Preferences Cookies
Also known as “functionality cookies,” these cookies allow a website to remember choices you have made in the past, like what language you prefer,
what region you would like weather reports for, or what your user name and password are so you can automatically log in.
This site uses functionality cookies to remember your site preferences so that when you return to the site, after your session has ended, your site preferences are re-loaded.
Statistics Cookies
Also known as “performance cookies,” these cookies collect information about how you use a website, like which pages you visited and which links you clicked on.
None of this information can be used to identify you. It is all aggregated and, therefore, anonymized.
Their sole purpose is to improve website functions. This includes cookies from third-party analytics services as long as the cookies are for the exclusive use of the owner of the website visited.
This site uses statistics cookies to remember which pages you visited. This information is used for analytics purposes.
