Once the browser is closed, temporary cookies are deleted automatically. They only contain an identification number (Session ID) allowing the server to allocate the successive inquiries of the browser to the same user. Temporary cookies are used by many servers and do not pose any security risk.

In changing your browser settings (mostly under "Option" or "Settings" in browser menus) you may choose to accept all cookies, be informed whenever a cookie is placed or reject all cookies. If you decide not to accept our cookies, it may result that the functionality of our pages is reduced and some services become unavailable.
