Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are a tool used by web servers to store and retrieve information about visitors or users. A cookie is simply a text file that some servers install while you browse. It can provide information such as where you are connecting from, how long you remain connected, the device you use (desktop or mobile), your operating system and browser, the pages you visit most, the number of clicks you make and other information about online behaviour. Cookies do not provide references from which a user’s first and last names can be inferred. They cannot read data from your hard drive or introduce viruses onto your device. They also cannot read cookies placed on your hard drive by other servers.

Why are they important?

They provide levels of protection and security that prevent or hinder cyberattacks against the website or its users.

They allow website operators to collect statistical information to improve the quality of their services and the user experience.

They help optimise the advertising shown to users by making it more relevant to their interests.

Types of cookies used on the website

When browsing the website, users may encounter cookies placed directly by the website owner or by other organisations, as explained below:

• Session cookies, which expire when the user leaves the page or closes the browser. They remain active only during the visit to the website and are deleted from the device when the visit ends.
• Persistent cookies, which expire when their purpose has been fulfilled or when they are manually deleted. They have an expiry date and are commonly used for online purchases, personalisation or registration, so that users do not have to enter a password repeatedly.

Cookies can also be classified as first-party or third-party cookies, depending on who manages the device or domain from which they are sent and processes the resulting data.

• First-party cookies are sent to the user’s device and managed exclusively by us to improve the website’s operation. We use the information collected to improve the quality of our service and your experience as a user.
• Third-party cookies: when users interact with content on our website, third-party cookies may also be set, for example when clicking social media buttons or watching videos hosted on another website. These cookies are set by a domain other than ours. We cannot access the data stored in cookies from other websites when you browse those sites.
