Cookies are strings of text that act as computer trackers sent by a server (in this case, the server of this Website) to a user’s appliance (generally to the Internet browser) when he/she accesses a given page on a website; cookies are automatically stored by the user’s browser and retransmitted to the server that generated them whenever the user accesses the same Internet page. In this way, for example, cookies enable and/or facilitate access to certain Internet pages to improve the user’s browsing, or to enable the storage of pages visited and other specific information, such as, for example, pages viewed more frequently, connection errors, etc. Therefore, for a facilitated and complete use of this Website, it would be advisable for the users to configure their browser to accept the reception of these cookies.

Users can also check the modalities and types of cookies that are stored on their browser by changing the cookie settings in their browser.
