From 06-08-2012 new legislation came into force in the EU. In global terms, this divides the use of cookies into two categories:

  • Cookies which are not necessary
  • All other cookies which are not directly required for the website's technical operation. This might include cookies making it possible to display advertisements specifically targeted at you. Cookies which make it possible to collect (anonymous) statistical details about website visitors also fall within this category.
