Use of cookies and activity files
Cookies are used on this website to facilitate the relationship between visitors and the content and to enable us to compile statistics on the visits we receive and the use they make of the website. We want to inform you clearly and precisely about cookies by detailing below what a cookie is, what it is used for, what types of cookies we use, what their purpose is and how you can configure or disable them if you wish.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small files that are stored in the browser (regardless of the device from which you are browsing) used by each visitor to our website so that the server can remember that user's visit at a later date when they access our content again.
Cookies allow a website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or their equipment and, depending on the information they contain and the way they use their equipment, they can be used to recognise the user. Normally, although this is not always the case, the user's browser memorises cookies on the hard disk only during the current session, occupying minimal memory space and not harming the computer. Cookies do not contain any specific personal information, and most cookies are deleted from the hard drive at the end of the browser session (so-called session cookies).
This information does not reveal your identity or any personal data, nor does it access the content stored on your device, but it does allow our system to identify you as a specific user who has visited the website before, viewed certain pages, etc. and it also allows us to save your personal preferences and technical information such as the visits made or specific pages you visit.
Cookies do not usually store sensitive information about the user, such as credit card or bank details, photographs, ID or personal information. The data they do store is of a technical nature, personal preferences, personalisation of content, etc. The web server does not associate you as a person but your web browser. In fact, if you usually browse with Internet Explorer and try browsing the same website with Firefox or Chrome you will see that the web does not realise that you are the same person, because it is actually associating the browser, not the person.
