Detailed Cookie Information
What are cookies?
"Cookies" are small text files stored in your device that remember certain preferences for your subsequent pageviews or future visits. Cookies are used on almost all websites. This website uses cookies to deliver the best possible user experience, to collect anonymous statistical data about its web traffic, and for security reasons. In general the cookies we use are separated into four categories:
- Essential: These cookies are strictly necessary for this website to function properly. They cannot be disabled but they are only enabled when required.
- Functionality: These cookies are used to remember certain preferences that affect the intended functionality (such as NDP values). When NDP selection is used the user is asked whether a session cookie or a persistent cookie is desired.
- Statistics: These cookies are set by Google Analytics to collect anonymous aggregated web traffic data (e.g. most visited pages, time spent on a page, number of unique users). Your browsing experience will not be affected if you do not enable this category. However by accepting these cookies you help us in understanding our web traffic and improving our website.
- Advertisements: These cookies are set by ad providers to display relevant advetisements. This website does not use ad and marketing cookies.
Depending on their duration the cookies are separated into two categories:
- Session: These cookies are temporary, they are deleted automatically when the session expires, typically when you close your browser.
- Persistent: These cookies persist when you close your browser. An expiration date must be set and they are deleted automatically by the browser when the expiration date has passed.
Depending on which website or domain places the cookies two categories are distinguished:
- First-party: These cookies are set directly by the website you are visiting (for this website under the domain names eurocodeapplied.com or .eurocodeapplied.com). Our website has control over these cookies.
- Third-party: These cookies are set by domains other than the website you are visiting (e.g. google.com) when elements from these other websites are requested. Our website does not have control over these cookies, that is we cannot read, modify or delete them.
Detailed information about cookies used by our website
In the tables below detailed information is presented about the cookies directly managed by this website (defined under the domain name "eurocodeapplied.com").
Cookies directly managed by this website (first-party)
| Cookie Name | Category | Usage | Values | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cookie | Essential | Stores whether you have already selected your cookie preferences so as not to repeat the notification in the future | true | 6 months |
| Cookie | Essential | Stores whether you have given consent to storing cookies belonging in the "Functionality" category | true | 6 months |
| Cookie | Essential | Stores whether you have given consent to storing cookies belonging in the "Statistics" category | true | 6 months |
| .AspNetCore. | Essential | Used by ASP.NET Core framework to Prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery (XSRF/CSRF) attacks for pages where you submit information in forms (e.g. calculation pages) | {random string} | Session |
| Recently | Essential | Optimize loading times of subsequent page views by not sending inline style sheet data already in the browser cache memory | true | Session |
| Fonts | Essential | Optimize loading times of subsequent page views by not waiting for webfonts already in the browser cache memory | true | Session |
| NDP | Functionality | Stores the last selection of Nationally Defined Parameters (NDPs) in order to automatically select it for your next pageview | Your NDP selection e.g. Belgium | 6 months or session |
For more information about the anti-forgery cookie see also: Prevention of Cross-Site Request Forgery in ASP.NET Core.
Information about NDP cookie: The NDP cookie stores your last selection regarding the country for Nationally Defined Parameters (NDPs) e.g. Belgium, in order to re-select it for your next pageview. If you choose an NDP set other than CEN Default then a cookie must be set in order for the calculations to function property. This is because certain aspects of the calculation results are modified depending on the value of the NDP cookie that is sent to the server when the calculation is performed. For this reason if you modify the NDP dropdown menu your selection must be remembered either by a temporary session cookie or a persistent "Functionality" cookie. To sum up:
- No cookies are set related to NDPs if you have not used the NDP dropdown before.
- If you use the NDP dropdown and if you have not given consent for "Functionality" cookies then you will be asked to set a session cookie to remember your NDP selection until the session expires when you close your browser. This is required for the calculations to function properly.
- If you have given consent for "Functionality" cookies then a persistent cookie will be set remembering the value of the NDP selection for your future revisits.

To perform its function reCaptcha reads various third-party cookies already installed in your device by Google when you have visited other Google pages (such as the search engine google.com or GoogleMaps) or if you have signed in to your Google account, Gmail account etc. The values stored in these cookies are used by reCaptcha plugin to determine if a user is an actual person or a malicious computer bot trying to abuse our contact form. For this case the typical "I am not a robot" checkbox is displayed. If not enough information is present in Google cookies then you will be presented with a series of image problems to solve (e.g. clicking on certain images).
Therefore third-party cookies by Google are not installed by using this website, if they exist they are already present in your device.
