Cookie statement Cookinglife
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a very small text file placed on your hard disk by a web server. It is actually a kind of identification that helps distinguish one user from another. A cookie is unique and can only be read by the server that provided you with the cookie.
What are cookies used for?
Cookies have different functions, which can be divided into three categories: functional cookies, analytical cookies and tracking cookies. Functional cookies are cookies required for the website to function, such as cookies that remember which language setting you have chosen and cookies that remember which products are in your shopping basket. Analytical cookies are used to measure the quality and effectiveness of the website, for instance by registering visitor statistics. Google Analytics is often used for this purpose. Tracking cookies are cookies that register your surfing behaviour on a website, so that a profile can be compiled of you, based on which information relevant to you - such as advertisements - can be shown.
Controlling which cookies you accept
In most cases, you can instruct your browser to accept all cookies or to warn you when a cookie is offered. You can then decide yourself whether to accept the cookie or not. For the specific settings, please refer to your browser manual, usually found under ‘Help’ in the toolbar of most browsers.
Example Google Chrome:
Click the Chrome menu on the browser toolbar.
Select Settings.
Click Show advanced settings.
In the ‘Privacy’ section, click the Content settings button .
In the ‘Cookies’ section, you can change cookie settings.
Example Internet Explorer 11.0:
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options
Click on the Privacy tab
Now you can set whether cookies should be allowed, selected or blocked.
Confirm the setting with OK
Example Firefox:
Click the menu button and choose Options
Click the Privacy panel
Now you can set whether to accept cookies and how long you want to keep them. You can also add exceptions and specify websites that should always or never use cookies.
Confirm your settings with OK
Only with the help of cookies can you make complete use of some interesting functions on the website. For example, if you place an item in your shopping basket, our server will read the code from the cookie and remember that the item belongs in your basket. If you visit other websites after your shopping tour at Cookinglife and then return to our website, the item is still in your shopping cart. This service is only possible with the help of cookies. We therefore recommend to leave cookies enabled.
