Our website uses a technology called a “cookie“ in order to obtain information about how the website is used, improve the user experience, and ensure it functions correctly.
Cookie definition
A “cookie” is a small piece of text that websites send to the browser and that is stored on the user’s device (computer or mobile device). These files are intended to store data that can later be updated and retrieved by the entity responsible for installing them. Thus, each time the user visits the same website again, the browser retrieves the file and sends it to the website server. Cookies have various functions, including collecting information about the user’s preferences and remembering them, and in general facilitating the user’s use of the website by making the site more useful through personalization of its content.
