Cookie Policy

Cookies are text files that are sent to your computer and used by your browser to store information. The cookies we use allow your browser to remember whether you have visited our site before and what your preferences are.

Like most websites, we use cookies to improve your user experience by allowing our website to "remember" you, either during your visit (using a "session cookie") or for repeat visits (using a "persistent cookie"). Two different types of cookies are also used: first-party cookies (which we own) and third-party cookies (in which we allow a third party, such as Google, to place cookies on your computer or mobile device).

Cookies perform many different tasks, such as allowing you to navigate between pages efficiently, storing your preferences, and generally improving your experience on a website. Cookies make the interaction between you and the website faster and easier. If a website does not use cookies, it will think you are a new visitor each time you move to a new page on the site; for example, when you enter your login details and move to another page, it will not recognize you and will not be able to keep you logged in during your session.

1. HOW TO REJECT OR WITHDRAW CONSENT

Although the cookies we use on this website are quite harmless and do not reveal your identity, not everyone wants text files to be downloaded onto their computer or mobile device. If you prefer, it is possible to block some or all cookies, or even delete those that have already been set; but you should keep in mind that you might lose some functionality on this website.

You can manage how cookies are activated on your computer or mobile device through your browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Android), so that you are notified when cookies are sent or can reject them entirely. You can also delete cookies that have already been set.
