- Non-functional cookies are cookies that can be placed for statistical or social purposes, among other things. They have nothing to do with the purely technical support of the Platforms. Cookies with statistical purposes allow you to check which pages of a website you visit, where your computer is located, etc. Cookies for social purposes allow the user to share the content of the visited Platforms directly with others via social media. Non-functional cookies can be first-party or third-party cookies.

They are activated every time the user visits the website or application that placed this cookie (e.g. cookies placed by social media such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Google Analytics etc). Most non-functional cookies are persistent cookies.
- Session cookies: These cookies allow to simplify and link a user's actions during a browser session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser screen or the application and ends when the user closes the browser screen or application. Session cookies are placed temporarily. As soon as you close the browser or application, all session cookies are deleted. Most functional cookies are session cookies.
