What is a cookie
A cookie is a small file that is sent to the browser being used and is saved on your device’s memory when you visit a website.
Cookies help increase the efficiency of the Website by customising your browsing experience through identifying your preferences. For example, cookies can be used to determine whether a connection has already been made between your computer and the Website’s pages, to show you relevant news or to store your log-in information.
Types of Cookies used by the Website
The Website uses various types of cookies: some of these are set and managed by the Data Controller (first-party cookies), while others are set and managed by third parties based on their privacy policies (third-party cookies).
1. Technical/functional cookies
These types of cookies are required for the Website to run properly. They allow browsing, the sharing of content, the saving of your log-in credentials so entering the Website is faster on subsequent visits (if you are a registered user) and the activation of your browsing preferences. Without technical cookies, we would not be able to guarantee the perfect running of the services for which users visit the Website. On the other hand, functional cookies are not essential for the Website to run, but they improve quality and your browsing experience.
2. Statistics and performance cookies
These cookies let us know how visitors use the Website, so we can assess and improve its running and prioritise the production of content that better meets the information needs of our users. For example, they let us know which pages are the most and least visited. They take into account, among other things, the number of visitors, the time spent on the Website by the average user and how they get here (for example, from links, adverts, etc.). In this way, we can ensure that pages load quickly and are displayed properly. All the information collected by these cookies is anonymous and not connected to the user’s personal data. To carry out these functions on our Website, we use third-party services that anonymise data, so it cannot be traced back to individuals. If there are any services that are not completely anonymised, to guarantee your privacy, you will find them listed among the third-party cookies, for which you can refuse your consent.
3. Marketing and profiling cookies
The Data Controller does not use its own marketing or profiling cookies, i.e. ones aimed at creating profiles on the user in order to send commercial messages that match the preferences shown during their visit or to improve their browsing experience.
4. Third-party profiling and functional cookies
The Data Controller uses third-party cookies sent by companies the Data Controller trusts. These cookies help offer you our range of products on other websites. We do not have control for third-party cookies of the information provided by the cookie and do not have access to this data. This information is controlled completely independently by third-party companies according to the provisions described in their respective policies.
