COOKIE POLICY
The website (hereinafter the "Site") uses both first-party and third-party cookies. Cookies are computer recordings of information transmitted by a web server to the user's device for future identification of that device at the time of future visits to the same website or for the performance of certain features of the site. If cookies are set by the site owner, they are first-party cookies; if they are set by a party other than the site owner, they are third-party cookies.
Types of cookies
Technical cookies are used for the sole purpose of transmitting a communication on an electronic communications network or because they are strictly necessary to deliver a service requested by the user (such as authentication, session monitoring, or storing user preferences). This type of cookie is essential for the functioning of the Website or necessary to perform activities requested by users.
Analytics/statistics cookies collect information, generally in aggregate and anonymous form, on how users make use of the Website and track traffic to and from the Website for purposes associated with its functioning.
The first-party cookies installed on the Site are technical/functional cookies that are essential for the proper performance of the Site and its functions. No consent is required for the installation of this category of cookies.
Third-party cookies used on the Site enable analytical purposes. These analytical cookies collect anonymous and aggregate data concerning visitors' behaviour in order to improve the browsing experience and measure visitors' traffic. They are only used to produce aggregate statistics in relation to the Site. The encryption settings applied are designed to hide the IP address component that would otherwise allow identification of the user. For these reasons, the analytical cookies applied are treated as equivalent to technical cookies and no consent is required for their use.
In addition to the above cookies, we may use third-party services that use so-called beacons — small images used to track user activity on the Site.
Retention period
This Site uses both session cookies, which only last for the duration of a browsing session, and persistent cookies, which last for a period that may vary depending on their function (for example, to retain the language selected). At the expiration of the relevant term, cookies are deleted automatically.
