What are cookies?
A cookie is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, that will be stored on a user's computer, mobile terminal or other equipment from which the internet is accessed. The cookie is installed by the request issued by a web server to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely “passive” (it does not contain software, viruses or spyware and cannot access information on the user's hard drive).
What are Cookies used for?
These files make it possible to recognize the user's terminal and present the content in a relevant way, adapted to the user's preferences. Cookies provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and support the Operator's efforts to provide comfortable services to users: e.g. – online privacy preferences, relevant advertising. They are also used in the preparation of anonymous aggregate statistics that help us understand how a user benefits from our web pages, allowing us to improve their structure and content, excluding the personal identification of the user.
How does our website use cookies?
