  1. How do I adjust my cookie settings?

In connection with the change in legislation, the website can no longer use cookies without your active consent, as the principle has changed from opt-out (your consent was assumed and had to be withdrawn) to opt-in (you need to actively give your consent).

As already stated in Article 2 and 3 of this document, consent or non-consent to the use of cookies is granted for a period of 6 months, after which the website will prompt you to grant/not grant consent again.

Next to the names of the types of cookies you will find a switch which is set by default to indicate that you do not agree to the use of that type.
