Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are transferred to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser and contain a unique number, but no personal data. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site and a more tailored site experience to you.
Most browsers allow you to choose whether cookies are used or not. The ‘help’ portion of your browser’s toolbar will usually tell you how to configure your browser to refuse cookies, to delete cookies or to notify you when you receive a new cookie. However, by turning off cookies you may make the website less efficient and some services may not function properly.
We use cookies to make sure our website works effectively. They help us monitor visitors’ movement from page to page, so we can ensure any choices you make and/or details you submit are ‘remembered’ as you navigate the site – and when you return to it within a set period.
Below is a summary of the cookies we use on www.engagingscience.eu/en, including those set by add-ons.
