Use of Cookies
The Site uses local temporary cookies. In other

certain connection, and to that specific server. As soon as the user closes his
browser window, or switches to a different server, the cookies will become
irrelevant. Users' privacy is not disturbed, since there is no way to follow up
on a user's surfing profile by checking previous visits. Also, a user profile
for a single connection is something that can be accomplished by using various
statistical programs.
Please note that most browsers allow a user to ask for
no cookies to be left on his computer or to be prompted before a cookie is
set.
