Cookies Policy

Here, in our Cookies Policy, we explain specifically how we and our partners implement cookies, as well as the options you have to control them.

1. General Information About Cookies

  • What is a cookie?

    A cookie is a harmless text file stored in your browser when you visit almost any website. Its purpose is to allow the website to remember your visit when you return. Although many people do not know this, cookies have been in use for over 20 years, since the first web browsers appeared.

  • What is NOT a cookie?

    It is not a virus, trojan, worm, spam, spyware, or pop-up window.

  • What information does a cookie store?

    Cookies usually do not store sensitive information such as credit card numbers, banking data, photographs, ID numbers, or personal information. They store technical data, personal preferences, content personalization, etc. The web server does not associate you as a person, but rather your web browser. For example, if you usually browse with Internet Explorer and switch to Firefox or Chrome, the website will not recognize you as the same user because it associates the browser, not the person.
