Introduction

This document provides information about cookies. It supplements the legal notice and any other legal documents that may be available on this website. You can view all the legal documents on this website from this page.

What Is a Cookie?

A cookie is a text file that the server of the website the user accesses stores on the user’s device to save and retrieve useful information about the user’s browsing activity (such as the current session or selected language) during future visits, in order to provide a convenient browsing experience tailored to the user’s preferences.

Cookies are not considered risky files because they cannot identify individuals on their own, do not refer to any personal data, and cannot be executed as automated computer code; therefore, they cannot contain any viruses or malicious software.

Cookies are divided into two categories based on their purpose:

  • Technical cookies: These are files whose use is essential for the website to function and for the provision of services expressly requested by the user. In accordance with the EU directive, these cookies are exempt from the requirement for user consent. Cookies that are deleted when the web browser is closed are called session cookies, while those that remain on the device for a defined period of time are called persistent cookies.
  • Non-essential cookies: These are files whose use is not essential for the website to function and are used for analytical, advertising, or affiliate purposes. These cookies do require the user’s informed consent before using and browsing the website. Cookies created and managed by the data controller are called first-party cookies, while those created and managed by third-party services are called third-party cookies.

Cookies Used on This Website

First-Party Cookies

This website does not use first-party cookies for site users, unless they are administrators. We are pleased to allow users to enjoy this website without obstacles that distract them or hinder their browsing experience.

Third-party cookies

In only a few cases may users encounter a third-party cookie owned by the company Cloudflare for security purposes. The cookie, named _cfclearance, is stored to remember which users have passed the security challenge that protects the server from potential threats. The duration of this cookie can vary between 1 and 1 week.

Disabling Cookies

Most web browsers automatically accept cookies from the websites you visit, but you can change this behavior. Users can configure their browser to not accept cookies by default; however, this may cause display or functionality errors on the website. To set your browser to block cookies by default, consult your browser’s manual.

Below, for your convenience—and noting that this information may not be up to date—we provide the configuration paths typically used in the major web browsers:

  • Firefox: Tools > Options > Privacy > History > Custom Settings.
