Cookies

To make this site work properly, we sometimes place small data files called cookies on your device

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

Other cookies, from third parties, could also be used to track you when you navigate to other sites that also use services from these third parties.

How to control cookies

You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish - for details, see aboutcookies.org. You can delete all cookies that are already on your computer and you can set most browsers to prevent them from being placed. If you do this, however, you may have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site and some services and functionalities may not work.

How do we use cookies?

Technical cookies

A number of our pages use cookies to remember:

  • your display preferences, such as language, contrast colour settings or font size

  • if you have agreed (or not) to our use of cookies on this site
  • If you have accepted the storage of cookies and similar files by YouTube.

You can delete or block these cookies, but if you do that some features of this site may not work as intended.

Europa Analytics

Europa Analytics is the corporate service which measures the effectiveness and efficiency of the EU institutions' web sites.

Europa Analytics is based on the open source analytics platform “Matomo” and is installed on a PHP/MySQL webserver.

Both the infrastructure and software are under the full control of the European Commission and comply with the current EU data protection legislation.

This platform enables the protection of end-user personal data thanks to features such as IP address de-identification and a mechanism for users to opt-out so that their browsing is not processed for analytics purposes.

It is managed by the European Commission on behalf of all EU institutions and bodies.

If you have activated the “Do Not Track” feature in your browser, Europa Analytics cookies will not be stored on your computer.

This does not affect your navigation experience on the Curia web site.
