A cookie is a small file, usually made up of letters and numbers. It is downloaded into the memory of a computer or other type of device used for internet browsing (smartphone, tablet, etc.) when the user accesses a particular website. When the user accesses a website from a web browser, the website sends information to the browser and the browser creates a text file. Each time the user accesses that website again, the browser transmits this file to the website. Thus, the cookie always notifies the website when the user returns to the website.

In general, the role of cookies is to ensure quick and easy interaction between users and websites. Cookies are also used so that users can easily resume their activities the next time they visit a previously visited website. Basically, cookies tell the server which pages to display to the user, without the user having to remember which pages they have browsed or to browse the entire site from the beginning.

The use of cookies also allows us to understand which sections of the website are useful and require improvements. For these purposes, cookies collect information about your behaviour online. Cookies are stored for a specified period of time.

The website uses the following cookies:

• Essential cookies – these cookies ensure normal operation of the website by allowing the existence of basic functions, such as page navigation and access to the primary sections of the website. The website cannot function without these cookies.

• Preferences cookies– these cookies enable a website to remember information that changes the way the website behaves or looks, like your preferred language or the region that you are in.

• Statistics Cookies – these cookies help website owners to understand how visitors interact with websites by collecting and reporting information anonymously.

• Marketing cookies – are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third-party advertisers.

You have the option to accept the use of all cookies, which will enable you to access all the features of the website, without restriction.

In case you do not accept to use the essential cookies this option can make certain sections of the website difficult to view and use.

Declining to use other cookies may not affect the user’s experience and functionality during the use of the website. If you decline the use of all cookies, your primary cookies and third-party cookies will be disabled. Additionally, your primary cookies will be deleted. We will not be able to delete third party cookies. Therefore, you will need to delete third party cookies yourself. This may be done from your browser settings.
