1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that the sites visited by users send to their terminals or devices, where they are stored to be transmitted back to the same sites on subsequent visits. Cookies differ by duration, purpose and origin.
Duration: session cookies are automatically deleted when the browser is closed; persistent cookies remain on the user's device until a set expiry date.
Purpose: cookies are used for different purposes: technical, marketing, profiling and analytics. The different purposes and the use of cookies on this site are further specified in point 2 of this policy.
Origin: first-party cookies are installed by the operator of the site (Publisher) the user is visiting; third-party cookies are sent by a site other than the one being viewed. These third parties, distinct from the Publisher, act as independent Data Controllers. One example is Google Analytics by Google, a service providing measurement statistics and analysis of site performance. Depending on the type and origin of the cookies, their installation may or may not require your consent.
