What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are sent to your computer to ensure the technical functionality of the website. We use cookies in some areas of our Website to make it easier for you to use the pages and to make them more personalized.

Terminology

Cookies installed on your device by the organization running the website you are visiting (i.e., Delphi) are known as “first party” cookies.

Cookies installed on your device via the website you are visiting by another organization are termed “third party” cookies. An example is a cookie set by a specialist website analytics company that provides the website owner with data on the numbers of people visiting its website (Cookies for range and usage analysis).

So-called “persistent cookies” remain on your device even after you close your internet browser. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie. For example, where a “persistent cookie” is used on a website to remember your login details, you will not need to enter those details each time you visit that website.

“Session cookies”, by contrast, are temporary and are typically used to enable the website to operate, e.g. by permitting a user to move from page to page without having to log in again. Once you close your browser, all session cookies are deleted.

Moreover, “performance cookies” allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Website. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the Website. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.

What cookies do we use?

This Website mainly uses cookies that are necessary for the technical functionality of our website and the recognition of errors or to offer a service or functionality requested by you.

Moreover, for statistical and research purposes, with the goal of improving our services, Delphi may from time to time make use third party performance cookies (including cookies for range and usage analysis) of the following service providers:

Be also aware that you can set your web browser to disable cookies. Please note that most browsers offer different ways to protect your privacy. If you do not activate or deactivate certain cookies via the browser settings, it is possible that certain functionalities will not be available to you as expected. For example, you can allow first-party cookies, but block third-party cookies, or receive a notification each time a website wants to install a cookie.

Please note that if you disable cookies in this way, you will not be able to set new cookies. However, it will not prevent previously set cookies from continuing to work on your device until you clear all cookies in your browser settings. Instructions for managing cookies on your browser can usually be found under the browser’s help function or in the operating instructions for your smartphone.
