What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that can be stored on a computer, tablet or smartphone when visiting a website.
This text file contains certain information, such as the language selected on a website. When the website is visited again at a later time, the cookie is sent back to the website. This allows the website to recognise the browser and, for example, remember the chosen language.
Cookies usually have an expiry date. Some cookies are automatically deleted when the browser is closed (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain stored on the device for a longer period and are only deleted after a certain time or when they are removed manually (so-called persistent cookies).
Why does Fedris use cookies?
Fedris, the administrator of this website, uses cookies to ensure the proper functioning of the website and to analyse its use. Three types of cookies are used:
-
essential cookies

Essential and functional cookies
Essential and functional cookies are necessary for the technical and functional operation of the website. They ensure, among other things, that pages are displayed correctly and that certain preferences, such as the selected language, are remembered.

Analytical cookies

improve the content of the website;

If consent is not given, only limited visitor statistics are collected, without placing cookies.
