A cookie is a small text file that websites save on your computer or mobile device while you visit them. Through cookies, the site remembers your actions and preferences (e.g., login, language, font size, and other display settings) so that you don’t have to re-enter them when you return to the site or navigate from one page to another.
Cookies can be divided into 5 categories:
- Necessary Cookies: these cookies, also called technical cookies, are essential as they allow you to move around the website and use its functions. Without these cookies, access to some parts of the site or the use of certain services might be impossible.
- Functionality Cookies: these cookies store choices made by the user on the website (such as searches performed or the language selected) and provide enhanced and more personalized functions. They can also be used to provide services that have been requested (such as watching a video, viewing a map, or posting comments on a blog).
- Performance Cookies: these cookies collect information about how the user uses the website (e.g., which pages they visit most often and whether they encounter error messages from the site’s pages). The information gathered by these cookies is used solely to improve the website’s performance. Some of these cookies are third-party cookies.
- Statistical Cookies: these cookies are used to analyze the statistics of visits to the site (so-called "analytics" cookies) if they are used exclusively for statistical purposes and collect information in an aggregated form. These cookies are generally third-party cookies.
- Advertising or Marketing Cookies: These cookies are used to provide advertisements that are more suited to the user and their interests. They are also used to limit the number of times an ad is shown to a user and help assess the effectiveness of an advertising campaign. These cookies are generally third-party cookies.

• How Long Do Cookies Stay on Your Computer?

  Session Cookies: these cookies remain only until the browser is closed. They are not stored on the hard drive. They are usually used to track the pages visited so that the information can be personalized for you during that visit.
  Permanent Cookies: these are stored on the hard drive until they are deleted or reach their expiration date. These cookies can, for example, be used to remember preferences when using the site.

• Cookie Management - Consent

  If the user visits the site without having previously given consent for the use of cookies, a notice will be shown through a pop-up window. At that moment, the user can give consent for the use of cookies by performing one of the following three actions:
  - Clicking the OK button on the notice
