Cookies are stored, according to the preferences of the User, from the single browser on the specific device used (computer, tablet, smartphone).

Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize the User’s device. They have different purposes such as, for example, allowing you to efficiently navigate pages, remember favorite sites and, in general, improve the browsing experience.

They are not used for other purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner or operator of the website. They can be divided into navigation or session cookies, which guarantee the normal navigation and use of the website; analytics cookies, similar to technical cookies when used directly by the site operator to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site; functional cookies, which allow the user to navigate according to a series of selected criteria in order to improve the service rendered to the same.
