What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that the sites visited by the user send to the terminal used by the user to access the Internet (usually the browser), where they are stored before being retransmitted to the same sites on the next visit by the same user.

Cookies can be stored permanently on the user's device until they expire or are deleted by the user (so-called "permanent cookies") or be automatically deleted every time the navigation of the Site is abandoned or the browser is closed (so-called "session cookies").

We use cookies for various purposes, in order to ensure the correct functioning of the Site and offer a better and more efficient browsing experience, for example:

• display relevant navigation settings;
• remember user preferences;
