What are cookies

Cookies are small files that some platforms, such as websites, can place on your computer or mobile device when you visit them. Their functions vary widely: storing your browsing preferences, gathering statistical information, enabling certain technical features, etc. Sometimes cookies are used to store basic information about the user’s browsing habits or those of their device.

The cookies used are for statistical purposes only; they collect information about how visitors use the website. This is generic, anonymous information; no personal data or any information that could identify you is stored. The ultimate goal is to improve the website’s performance. If you do not wish to receive cookies, please configure your Internet browser to delete them from your computer’s hard drive, block them, or warn you when they are being installed. To continue without changing your cookie settings, simply keep browsing the website.

Types of cookies

1. First-party cookies: Cookies set by the website owner or service provider.

These cookies enable third-party features or functionality on or through the website you are using (such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The third parties that set these cookies can recognize your device both when you visit the website and when you visit other websites or services.

Why we use cookies

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are necessary for technical reasons to make our website and services work — we call these “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies allow us and the third parties we work with to track and target the interests of visitors to our website — we call these “performance” or “functional” cookies. For example, we use cookies to tailor the content and information we may send or show you, personalize your experience when interacting with our website, and improve the functionality of the services we provide.

Finally, third parties use cookies through our websites and services for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.
