To make this site work properly, we sometimes place small data files called cookies on your device. Most big websites do this too.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
How do we use them?
Adjust this part of the page according to your needs.
Explain which cookies you use in plain, jargon-free language. In particular:
their purpose and the reason why they are being used, (e.g. to remember users’ actions, to identify the user, for online behavioural advertising)
if they are essential for the website or a given functionality to work or if they aim to enhance the performance of the website
the types of cookies used (e.g. session or permanent, first or third-party)
who controls/accesses the cookie-related information (website or third-party)
that the cookie will not be used for any purpose other than the one stated
how consent can be withdrawn.
You can use as example the top-level “cookie notice” of the Commission homepage.
If your site does not use any cookies, just declare it (e.g. The Information Providers Guide site does not use any cookies). If your site uses the same cookies as the Commission homepage, you can just link to the top-level cookie notice.
How to control cookies
You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish – for details, see aboutcookies.org. You can delete all cookies that are already on your computer and you can set most browsers to prevent them from being placed. If you do this, however, you may have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site and some services and functionalities may not work.
