Websites use intelligent techniques to increase user-friendliness and make sites more interesting for each visitor. One of the best-known techniques is the use of cookies. Cookies can be used by website owners or by third parties, such as advertisers, who communicate through the website.
Cookies are small text files that the sites visited by the user send and register on their computer or mobile device, to be retransmitted to the same sites at the next visit. Thanks to cookies, a site remembers the user’s actions and preferences (such as login data, the chosen language, font sizes, other display settings, etc.) so that they do not need to be re-indicated when the user returns to visit this site or navigate from one page to another of it.
Cookies are classified according to their duration and the site that set them.
We believe it is essential to provide you with information about the cookies our website uses and the purposes for which they are used. The goal is threefold: to ensure your privacy, to ensure ease of use and to optimize the development of our website. The following explanation explains in more detail the cookies used on our website and their purpose.

The Holder uses cookies to collect statistical data on visitors and to record information on the ways they browse this website. The aim is exclusively to improve the quality of the information and services offered by our website to visitors.

Depending on the specific objectives, different cookies are used. Below is a list of the most common types of cookies and the purposes for which they are used.

The use of the so-called navigation/session cookies – which are not stored persistently on the user’s computer and are deleted by closing the browser – is strictly limited to the transmission of session identifiers (consisting of random numbers server-generated) needed to enable safe and efficient browsing of the site.

Permanent cookies store a file on your computer for a long period of time. This type of cookie has an expiration date. Permanent cookies allow websites to remember information and settings on subsequent visits by users, making browsing more convenient and faster, since, for example, it is no longer necessary to log in. On the expiration date, the cookie is automatically deleted when you first access the website that created it.

These cookies are set by the websites themselves (with the same domain as that indicated in the address bar of the browser) and can only be read by those websites. They are commonly used to store information such as preferences, to be used at subsequent visits to the site.

These cookies are set by domains other than the one indicated in the browser's address bar, i.e. by organisations that do not correspond to the owners of the websites.
Cookies used, for example, to collect information for advertising purposes and to personalize content, as well as to process web statistics, may be "third-party cookies".
Third-party cookies allow the Holder to obtain more comprehensive surveys of users' browsing habits and are believed to be more sensitive from an integrity perspective. For this reason, most web browsers allow users to change their settings so that these cookies are not accepted.

Since cookies are normal text files, you can access them using most text editors or word processors. To open them, simply click on them. Below is a list of links that explain how to display cookies in your browser. If your browser is not present, please refer to the cookie information provided by your browser. If you are using a mobile phone, please refer to its manual for further information.

Cookies can be restricted or blocked using your browser settings.
If you prefer that websites do not store any cookies on your computer, please set your browser to notify you before each cookie is stored. Alternatively, you can set your browser to reject all or only third-party cookies. You can also delete all cookies already in the system. It is important to note that the settings must be changed separately in each browser and computer used.
If you disable the storage of cookies, the Entity cannot guarantee the proper functioning of the website. Some functions of the site may not be available and it may no longer be possible to view certain websites. Moreover, blocking cookies does not eliminate the display of advertisements. They will simply no longer be customised to your interests and will be repeated more frequently.
Each browser has its own procedure to change the settings.
If necessary, use the browser's Help function to define the correct settings.
To disable cookies on a mobile phone, please refer to your mobile phone's manual for more information.

Considering the functioning of the Internet and websites, we are not always able to control cookies that are stored by third parties through our website.
This is especially true in cases where the web page contains so-called embedded elements: texts, documents, images or short films that are stored elsewhere but are displayed on or through our website. Therefore, if a cookie is detected on the website that is not attributable to one of the listed third-party services, please let us know. Alternatively, you can contact interested third parties directly and ask about the cookies they send, for what purposes, how long they last and how they guarantee your privacy.
