Use of cookies

RESPONSUM considers it important that you can view, read or experience our website content at any place and at any time via various media platforms. We want you to be able to use interactive features and provide you with services tailored to your needs.

Therefore RESPONSUM uses online techniques like cookies, tags, scripts and similar technologies (hereafter referred to as ‘cookies’).

Cookies help us facilitate the use of the website and improve its functionality, by collecting information of our website visitors via their website usage.

In this cookie statement, RESPONSUM wishes to inform you what kind of cookies are used and why. RESPONSUM can amend the cookie statement at any time. This can happen, for example, in the context of changes to its services or the applicable legislation. The amended statement will then be published on this website and will apply from the moment it is published.

If the use of certain cookies also involves the processing of “personal data”, the Privacy Statement is also applicable alongside this Cookie statement.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small textfile that is stored on your computer or mobile device by the browser. This cookie is initiated by the server linked to the website you visit or a third party working with that website.

Different kind of cookies exist that serve different purposes and have a different lifespan on your device (see Detailed information on RESPONSUM Cookies). One example might be a cookie containing a unique code which allows the website server to recognize you when you visit the website or return to the website at a later time.

Other cookies can be necessary for the browser to show you the website correctly or to improve your overall user experience. It can for example store a specific preference or necessary information for your browser, like your language or the ID of the last session you had on the website.

Is Cookie information passed on to third parties?

It is important to make a distinction between two types of cookies

1. First party cookies

Direct or first-party cookies are cookies that RESPONSUM manages and that are specific to the website visited or used.

2. Third party cookies

Indirect cookies or third-party cookies are cookies that are managed and placed by a third party. These cookies therefore ensure that certain data is transmitted to third parties by your visit to the RESPONSUM website. These may be, for example, cookies from social media platforms.

In the detailed information on RESPONSUM cookies above you can find out which cookies are first party and which are third party by looking at the “Provider”.

How long is cookies information stored?

Cookies can be stored on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Depending on the type of cookie, they (and the information they collect) are automatically deleted when you close your browser (these are the so-called “session cookies”).

In other cases, these cookies remain stored for a longer period of time and can also be used during a subsequent visit to this website (these are the so-called “permanent cookies”).

Consult the detailed information on RESPONSUM cookies above to know the retention periods.
