1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser when you visit a website. They can be used to remember preferences, keep you signed in, measure usage, or link your activity to third parties. Some cookies are set by this site (first-party) and some by services we embed (third-party).
2. Legal basis
Strictly necessary cookies are stored on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating the site securely (Article 5(3) of Directive 2002/58/EC and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). All other cookies are only set with your prior, informed and explicit consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw consent at any time.
3. Cookie categories we use
Strictly necessary
Required for the site to operate: session state, security, load balancing, and remembering your cookie choice. These cannot be turned off.
Preferences
Remember non-essential choices (sector filter, language, dismissed notices) so they persist across visits.
Analytics
Aggregated, anonymised usage statistics that help the Foundation improve the site. No personal identifiers are collected. We do not share analytics data with advertising networks.
We do not use advertising, profiling or social-media tracking cookies.
4. Cookies in detail
| Name | Category | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| eu-dpp-cookie-consent | Strictly necessary | Stores your cookie preferences so the banner is not shown again on every page. Required for the consent mechanism to work. | 12 months |
| eu-dpp-locale | Preferences | Remembers the interface language you selected. | 12 months |
| eu-dpp-sector | Preferences | Remembers the sector filter you last applied so sector-specific content surfaces first on your next visit. | 6 months |
This site currently stores the preferences values listed above in your browser's localStorage rather than as HTTP cookies — the consent rules are identical either way.
5. Managing your choice
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the button below, or via the Cookie preferences link in the footer.
6. Browser controls
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies at any time through their settings. Doing so may affect the proper functioning of this site.
