Cookie notice
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your computer. Cookies can contain text and numbers, such as dates. Cookies are not programs and do not contain viruses or other harmful code.
Cookies are used to store specific information about website users so that the website can recognize the user on a subsequent visit and use the stored information. This may include, for example:
- Login credentials
- Information about previous visits
- Which parts of the website the user has visited
Which cookies does the Fixaflex NV website use and why?
1. Login information: "DW_Extranet" (only if the solution includes an extranet)
“DW_Extranet” is a persistent cookie. It contains encrypted information about your username and password, if you use a login function on the Fixaflex NV website.
- Purpose: to remember your login credentials so you do not have to log in again on your next visit
- Retention period: 1 month after the last use of the login function
2. Visit information: "Dynamicweb"
“Dynamicweb” is a persistent cookie and consists of two parts:
- Dynamicweb.VisitorID: a unique ID assigned when you visit the Fixaflex NV website
- Dynamicweb.VisitDate: information about the date of your last visit, used for statistical purposes
- Retention period: 1 year after your last visit
How do cookies work?
A cookie can only be loaded from the URL (website) where it was stored. Standard cookies set by a website are usually stored from the address you see in the browser’s address bar.
However, a website can also contain elements and information downloaded from addresses other than the one shown in the browser bar. This can include, for example, banner ads, analytics tools, or regular content. In this way, cookies can also be set from other addresses via the website you visit – so-called third-party cookies.
Some cookies (session cookies) are stored only during a single browser session and are deleted when the browser is closed. Other cookies (persistent cookies) are stored for a predetermined period and are only deleted when that period expires.
How can you avoid the use of cookies?
Regardless of which browser you use, you can adjust your browser settings so that cookies are not stored. Some browsers also allow you to apply this setting only for specific websites.
How can you delete cookies?
You can delete cookies through your browser settings. Help on this can be found both in the browser settings and on the support pages of the browsers. Below are links to instructions for the most commonly used browsers:
