What are "Cookies".

Cookies are essential for the functioning of modern websites, helping to create a personalized browsing experience adapted to the preferences and interests of each user. Refusing or disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the site and may result in its inability to function properly.

From a technical point of view, an "Internet Cookie" (also known as a "browser cookie" or "HTTP cookie" or simply "cookie") is a small file consisting of letters and numbers that is stored on the computer, terminal mobile or other equipment of a User from which the Internet is accessed. The cookie is installed through the request issued by a server (site) to a browser (eg: Internet Explorer, Chrome). This file cannot access the information on the User's computer/mobile device.

The role of Cookies

• In general, the main roles of cookies are:
• Customizing certain settings such as: the language in which a website is viewed, retaining options for website features (and remembering those options), accessing previous preferences through the "forward" and "back" buttons;
• Providing valuable feedback to site owners on how their sites are being used by users, so that we can make them more effective and accessible;
• Allowing multimedia or other applications from other sites to be included in a particular site, thereby improving the user experience;
• Improving the effectiveness of online advertising.

Cookies, by themselves, do not request personal information and, in most cases, do not personally identify Internet Users. We note that this technology does not contain software, viruses or spyware.

Cookies on the Platform

The Platform managed by the Operator can use cookies, both its own and those from third parties, to offer Users the best browsing experience and services adapted to the needs and interests of each.

The platform uses two main categories of cookies: Functionality cookies (performance, geo-targeting, session) and advertising and management cookies (cookies issued by third parties, website registration cookies , analysis cookies).

Cookie Options

Users can determine the extent to which the Platform uses cookies in two ways:

• By expressing consent to the use of cookies. Consent for the use of cookies is requested from the user the first time the website is accessed. If consent is not granted, the Platform will not implement advertising and management cookies and there is a risk that some of its functions will not be available. Functionality cookies will remain active to ensure the correct functioning of the Platform, but will not allow the collection of immediately identifiable personal data. If consent has been granted, it can be withdrawn at any time by the user either through the Operator or through the functions available on the website for this purpose.
• Users have the option to set their browser to reject cookies. Most browsers are initially set to automatically accept cookies. You can change your settings to block cookies or to be notified when cookies are sent to your computer or mobile device (smartphone, tablet). In this case, however, there will be a negative impact on browsing our site and on some functionalities offered by the site.

Deleting "Cookies".

Most web browsers will provide an option to disable or delete cookies. How you do this depends on the browser you are using. Instructions for disabling cookies can usually be found in your browser's "Help" menu. Note that, in common with most other transaction sites, if you disable only third-party cookies, you will be prevented from making purchases on our sites. You may also find that the functionality of many other websites and services will be affected. Cookies can be deleted using your web browser. However, unless disabled, they will be reapplied the next time you visit a website.
