WHAT IS A COOKIE?
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a specific website. The text stores information that the site can read when it is accessed again later by the same device. Essentially, cookies are useful because they allow a site to recognize your device.

Cookies serve various functions: they help you navigate between different pages of the site more efficiently, store your preferences, and generally improve your browsing experience. In some cases, cookies allow you to see promotions that might interest you the most. Some of these cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of the site, while others are useful because they can securely store, for example, your username or language settings. The advantage of having cookies installed on your PC is that you no longer need to fill in the same information each time you want to access a site visited previously.

Some cookies are automatically disabled at the end of the session (from when the user opens the browser to when they exit the browser) others are saved on the user’s device for a longer period (usually, these cookies are used to store the preferences and choices of the user visiting the site or for profiling commercial promotions).

The site may contain both first-party cookies and third-party cookies, that is, cookies that are activated by a domain different from that of the site.

WHY DOES THIS SITE USE COOKIES?

Cookies that profile commercial offers: These are cookies that allow us to present commercial offers that may more easily meet your interests. They may also function to limit the number of times a particular commercial offer is presented to you or may be used to evaluate how effective a particular promotional campaign has been.
