What are “cookies”?
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device during your visit.
- First-party cookies are cookies created by the website you are visiting: only that site can read them. In addition, in theory a website can use external services that also create their own cookies, known as third-party cookies.
- Persistent cookies are saved on your computer and are not automatically deleted when you close your browser – unlike session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser.
You will be invited to accept or reject cookies.
This allows the site to remember your preferences (such as your user name, language, etc.) for a certain period of time.
In this way you will not have to re-enter your preferences while browsing the site during the same session.
Cookies can also be used to collect anonymous statistical data regarding the browsing experience on our sites.
