COOKIES POLICY

What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small file stored by a server on the user’s device (computer, phone, etc.) and associated with a web domain (in most cases, this means all the pages of the same website).

Cookies have multiple uses: they can store the display language of a webpage, an identifier allowing your browsing activity to be tracked for statistical or advertising purposes, etc. Some of these uses are strictly necessary for functionalities expressly requested by the user or for establishing communication, and therefore are exempt from consent requirements. Others, which do not fall within these criteria, require the user’s consent before being read or placed.

The cookies used by our web servers are generally referred to as “session cookies,” which are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of the browser session. Other cookies remain stored in your system and enable us to recognize your device during your next visit (so-called “persistent cookies”).
