What are cookies

Cookies are small text files created by a server that the websites visited by the user send and record on the user’s computer or mobile device (tablet, smartphone, etc.), and which are then re-transmitted to the same websites on subsequent visits.

Cookies allow the collection of the information on browsing on the Website by the user and even to store the actions and preferences of the user (for example, your preferred language, the font size, etc.). They are therefore used to authenticate information, monitoring sessions and to store information on the websites. Some operations would be very complex or even impossible to carry out without the use of cookies.

During the navigation of a website, users may receive cookies from the website visited (so-called first-party cookies) or from other websites (so-called third-party cookies).
