Cookie notice
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file which is stored on your computer. Cookies can contain text and numbers such as for example dates. Cookies are not applications and do not contain viruses or equally harmful codes. Cookies serve the purpose of storing specific information about the users on a website so that the website later on will be able to recognise the user and load this stored information. This could be e.g. login information, information about previous visits and which areas of the website the user has visited.
A cookie can only be loaded from the URL (website) it has been stored in. Regular cookies which are stored from a website, are typically stored from the address you see in the address line in the browser. But a website may also contain fragments and information which is downloaded from other addresses than the one shown in the address line of the browser. That could be for example a banner advert or analysis tools, but also regular content. This way, cookies could also be stored from other addresses via the website you are actually visiting - so-called third party cookies.
Some cookies (so-called session cookies) are only stored during one browser session and deleted when the browser is closed. Other cookies (so-called persistent cookies) are stored for a set period of time, and are not deleted until the expiry of that period.
Which cookies are used by the Website and why?
This website sets the following cookies:
When you sign in: "DW_Extranet"
"DW_Extranet" is a persistent cookie. It holds encrypted information about your user name and password, and is only set if you use the sign-in function on this website. The cookie has a one-month lifespan, so it is deleted one month after the last time you signed in. It is what lets the site remember you when you come back, so you do not have to sign in again.
For visit statistics: "Dynamicweb.VisitorID" and "Dynamicweb.VisitDate"
These two cookies are set by the software this website runs on, and they keep the names that software gives them. "Dynamicweb.VisitorID" is a unique ID assigned to you the first time you visit. "Dynamicweb.VisitDate" records the date of your last visit and is used for visitor statistics. Both have a one-year lifespan and are deleted one year after your last visit.
How can I avoid the use of cookies on the Website?
Regardless of which browser you are using, you can adjust the browser settings to not store cookies. Some browsers will allow you to only do this setting for certain websites.
How can I delete cookies?
