How do we use cookies?
Websites mostly use “first-party cookies”. These are cookies set and controlled by the Commission, not by any external organisation. However, to view some of our pages, you will have to accept cookies from external organisations.
The 3 types of first-party cookie we use are to: store visitor preferences, make our websites operational, gather analytics data (about user behaviour).
These are set by us and only we can read them. They remember: if you have agreed to (or refused) this site’s cookie policy or if you have already replied to our survey pop-up (about how helpful the site content was) – so you won’t be asked again
