What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that your browser stores on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as the browser's local storage, work in the same way. They allow a website to recognise your browser again, for example to keep you logged in or to remember your language.

First-party and third-party cookies.

First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting, in this case www.bmw-sports-trophy.com. Third-party cookies are set by other providers whose content is embedded in a website. This website only uses the first-party cookies listed above and does not set any third-party cookies.

Managing cookies in your browser.

You can view, block and delete cookies at any time in your browser settings; your browser's help function explains how. Please note that if you block the essential cookies listed above, you will not be able to log in to the portal or submit forms.
