Cookies
The EU-OSHA website does not collect statistics from logged in users. However, it will set temporary session cookies whenever you visit the site. They will be deleted when you close your browser session. More cookies may be set when you log in, to avoid typing in your user name (or optionally password) on your next visit. These last up to 30 days. You may clear these cookies after use if you are using a public machine and don’t wish to expose your username to future users of the machine. (If so, clear the browser cache as well). Cookies do not contain any personal information about you and cannot be used to identify an individual user.
This website uses Piwik, a software to generate web statistics, that is entirely hosted in EU-OSHA’s servers, located in the European Union. Piwik will store cookies in your computer, but no personal data will be collected. An anonymous ID will enable piwik to identify your session, but this ID is meaningless to anybody else, and it cannot be used to identify an individual user.
If you do not want EU-OSHA to track your activity through Piwik, you can opt-out from Piwik by clicking in the box below.
