What are cookies

Cookies are small text files which are stored on your device (e.g. computer, smartphone) when you visit a website. These cookies allow websites to recognise the user’s device and display a website tailored to the user’s individual preferences accordingly. Cookies usually contain the name of the website from which they originate, the length of time they are stored on the end device and a unique number.

Cookies can be subdivided in detail by:

Necessary files for the service

Type	Decsription
Essential files	They are necessary for the proper functioning of the website or the functionality the user wishes to use.
Functional files	They serve to enrich the functionality of the website; without them, the website will work correctly but will not be adapted to the user’s preferences. They are used to ensure a high level of functionality of the website; without the settings stored in the cookie the level of functionality of the website may decrease, but should not prevent you from using the website completely. They provide very important functionality for the website; if they are blocked selected functions will not work properly.
Business files	They enable implementation of the business model based on which the site is made available, their blocking will not result in the unavailability of the entire functionality of the site, but may reduce the level of service provision due to the site owner’s inability to realise the revenues that subsidise the operation of the site. Advertising cookies, for example, make part of this category.

Time that the files will be stored on the user’s terminal equipment

Type	Decsription
Temporary Cookies (session cookies)	Cookies placed for the duration of the browser (session) are deleted when the browser is closed.
Persistent cookies	They are not deleted when the browser is closed and remain on the user’s device for a limited or no period of validity depending on the website owner’s settings.

What cookies are used for on the CEUTP website

Cookies are used to adapt the content of the website to optimise its usability, including the fluidity of its display and the correctness of its content.

What cookies are used by the CEUTP

In principle, two types of cookies are used – “session” and “persistent” cookies.

“Session” files are temporary ones that remain on the user’s device until the user logs out of the website or shuts down the software (web browser).

The “persistent” files remain on the user’s device for the time specified in the parameters of the cookies or until they are manually deleted by the user. Persistent cookies are stored on the user’s computer and are not automatically deleted when the browser is closed, unlike session cookies which are deleted when the browser is closed.
