Cookie Policy
Definition and purpose
Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files, which are stored on your computer or another device when websites are loaded in a browser. By default, almost all web browsers are set to automatically accept cookies. They are widely used to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repetitive visits (using a “persistent cookie”). They provide a consistent and efficient experience for visitors and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and stay connected.
Cookies can be set by the site you are visiting (called “proprietary cookies”) or by third parties, or by a website other than the one the user is visiting, such as those who provide content or provide advertising or analysis services on the website (“third-party cookies”). This is because on each site may be present elements (images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages of other domains, etc.) that reside on servers other than the site visited. Both Web sites and HTML emails can also contain other tracking technologies such as “web beacons” or “pixels”. These are typically small transparent images that provide statistics for purposes similar to cookies. They are often used in conjunction with cookies, although they are not stored on your computer in the same way. As a result, if you disable cookies, web beacons may still load, but their functionality will be limited.
