What is a Cookie?
“Cookie” is a text file that contains information downloaded to your device when you visit a website. That cookie is sent back on each subsequent visit to the originating website or to another website that recognizes it. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a device and give you a more efficient and personalized experience. Some cookies we use require your consent, while others are exempt.
Consent-exempt cookies: Strictly necessary cookie guarantee functions without which you will not be able to use the site as intended. They are stored on your computer during the current browser session.
Cookies subject to consent: All other cookies that are not strictly necessary to use the site still perform important tasks. Without these cookies, the functions intended for you on our website, such as your personal settings or preferences, cannot be remembered and must therefore be re-entered on each page.
What Cookies do we use?
We use three types of cookies: strictly necessary cookies, performance cookies and functional cookies.
Strictly necessary cookies are essential to allow you to move around the site and use its functions.
Performance cookies are stored on your computer for longer periods and are used for statistical purposes.
Functional cookies allow the site to save information that has already been entered by you and to remember your preferences in using the site.
What is the lifespan of a cookie?
The lifetime of a cookie can vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which it is used. If desired, cookies can be deleted by the user at any time by using the browser settings.
Why do we use cookies?
Cookies are the main point of the efficient operation of the platform, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience adapted to the preferences and interests of each user. Rejecting or deactivating cookies does not mean that you will no longer be able to use the site – but only that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests, highlighted by your browsing behavior.
