Cookie Policy

Please note that this website may use cookies while you browse its different pages. By using our website you expressly accept and authorise the use of cookies, in accordance with our privacy policy

1. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that stores internet settings. Almost every website uses cookie technology. Your internet browser downloads the cookie the first time you visit a website. The next time you visit that website from the same terminal device, the cookie and the information it contains are sent back to the website that placed it (first-party cookie) or to another website it belongs to (third-party cookie). This allows the website to detect that it has already been opened with this browser and, in some cases, to vary the content it displays. Some cookies are extremely useful, as they can improve the user experience when returning to a website visited several times before. As long as you are using the same device and the same browser as on previous visits, cookies remember features such as your preferences when you use a page and adapt what is offered so that it better suits your personal interests and requirements. Cookies can be divided into four categories according to their function and purpose: strictly necessary cookies, performance cookies, functional cookies and cookies for marketing purposes.

2. Why do we use cookies?

We normally use session identification cookies and persistent cookies. We use session cookies to make it easier for you to browse our sites. A session cookie expires when you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time and may be used when you return to our site to help identify you or allow you to log in, or on other third-party sites to communicate with you through online marketing channels. These cookies can be controlled at individual browser level. If you choose to enable or disable a cookie, you can still visit our websites, but your ability to use some features may be limited

3. How can cookies be rejected and/or deleted?

You can delete all cookies already stored on your computer and set most browsers to prevent cookies from being stored on your device. In that case, however, you may have to adjust some preferences manually every time you visit the website, and some services and features may not work, which may also affect your use of the services available through the website. The steps to follow depend on the type of browser you use. The browser can be configured separately on each device you use.

4. What types of cookies are used?

Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are essential to enable you to move around the website and use its features. Without these cookies, the services you have requested cannot be provided, for example remembering previous actions (such as text entered) when returning to a page within the same session.

Performance cookies

Performance cookies collect information about how a website is used, for example which pages a visitor opens most often and whether the user receives error messages from certain pages. These cookies do not store information that makes it possible to identify the user. The information collected is aggregated and therefore made anonymous. These cookies are used solely to improve the performance of the website and, with it, the user experience.

Functionality cookies

Functionality cookies allow a website to save information that has already been entered (such as user names, language options and your location) so that it can offer you enhanced, more personalised features. For example, a website can show you local tax information relevant to the price if it uses a cookie to remember the region you are currently in. Functional cookies are also used to enable the features you request, such as playing videos. These cookies collect anonymous information and cannot track your movements on other websites.

Cookies for marketing purposes

Cookies for marketing purposes are used to show users advertising that is more targeted and better matched to their interests. They are also used to limit how often an advert is shown and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They record whether or not a person has visited a website. This information may be shared with third parties, for example advertisers. Cookies used to improve appeal and target-group advertising are often linked to the page functionalities of third-party providers.
