What is a cookie and why are they used on this website?

A cookie is a small text file stored in your browser. It is used to measure the website traffic, statistics, and how the website is used – for example, to remember you and your choices on our website, when you last visited the website and what you typed in a form. We also record visitor statistics and data on how you reached our website.

Only the website that saved the text file can read it, so nobody else can access this information. The text file is not harmful, cannot contain a virus or program code and cannot be linked to an individual or IP number.

There are two kinds of first party cookies: those which are removed once you leave the website (session cookies) and those which are stored over a longer period or until the user deletes them (persistent cookies). This website uses both types and also third-party cookies. These cookies come from companies we work with, for example, an advertising agency that we use via a banner or to produce statistics on the use of our site. We try to be restrictive in our use of third party cookies and if these are used, it is to better understand how our visitors behave online, in order to be more relevant in our online marketing. 

Detailed information about the cookies used, the purpose for which they are used, and how long they are stored on your device can be found in the list of cookies used on mysafetygroup.com.
