What do we mean when we talk about cookies?

Cookies are small text files that the sites visited by the user send to his terminal (usually to the browser), where they are stored before being re-transmitted to the same sites on a subsequent visit by the same user.

While browsing a site, the user may also receive cookies from different sites or web servers on his terminal (so-called "third party" cookies); this happens because on the website visited there may be elements (such as, for example, images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages of other domains) that reside on servers other than the one on which the requested page is located. In other words, they are those cookies that are set by a website other than the one you are currently visiting.

What cookies do we use on this site?

The cookies we use are the following:

• Essential cookies: these are essential for the operation of key features of our website. These cookies do not collect information about the user that could be used for commercial purposes, nor do they store the user's browsing history on the Internet.

• Analytical/performance cookies: these allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors who access our website and to see how they navigate and use it. This helps us to improve the way our website works (for example by ensuring that users find the information they are looking for more easily). These cookies do not collect any information that can identify the user. All information collected is anonymous and is only used to help us improve the functioning of our website.
