A cookie is a small text file that is stored on the user’s device, such as a computer, tablet or smartphone, while browsing a website.

b) Analytics or measurement cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website, which pages are visited most frequently and how the user experience can be improved.

Depending on their technical configuration and level of anonymisation, some analytics tools may be considered equivalent to technical cookies. In other cases, their use may require the user’s consent.

c) Personalisation cookies

These cookies may allow the website to remember certain user preferences, such as language, geographical area, interface settings or other choices made while browsing.

Depending on their nature and purpose, these cookies may be necessary for the requested service or subject to the user’s consent.

d) Advertising and profiling cookies

These cookies may be used to display more relevant promotional content, measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns or limit the number of times a particular advertisement is shown.

Advertising and profiling cookies are only used when the user has given consent, where required by applicable regulations.

e) Social media or third-party service cookies

The website may integrate features provided by third parties, such as embedded videos, sharing buttons, payment tools, analytics services or other external functions.
