WHAT ARE COOKIES?
"Cookies" are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device through the Internet browser that gather information related only to your preferences, not your personal data. The use of cookies enables the website to recognise the device the next time the user visits it.
The term "cookies" is used in this policy to refer to all files that gather information in this way.
The cookies used do not gather information that can identify users. Cookies collect generic information, such as how users accessed the website, or the country zone(s) they accessed the website from, etc.
Cookies only gather information related to your preferences. Users may, at any time, through their Internet browser, decide to be notified about the receipt of cookies, or block cookies from being stored on their system.
Refusing to accept cookies on a website may result in users being unable to access certain areas, or to receive personalised information.
WHAT ARE COOKIES USED FOR?
