What cookies are

Cookies are small text files containing information that a website (specifically its web server) stores on a user’s computer, mobile phone, or other electronic device when the user visits the website. Each time the user subsequently accesses the website, the website retrieves this information in order to provide services related to it.
In general, cookies perform a variety of functions and are categorized according to their purpose and mode of operation. Certain cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of a website (as without them it would not be technically feasible to provide the requested services). Other cookies facilitate navigation between webpages, store user preferences, and generally enhance the user’s browsing experience.
Examples of such information include user preferences on a website, as indicated by the choices made by the user, such as the selection of specific options, searches, or displayed content.
The use of cookies aims to ensure security, improve the efficient presentation of information, enhance service delivery, and facilitate user navigation. In addition, cookies enable us to analyze how users interact with the website and to identify any technical issues that may arise during browsing.

Cookies may be placed either by the website operator itself (first-party cookies) or by third parties through the website operator (third-party cookies), in accordance with applicable data protection legislation.

Cookies may be classified as Session Cookies or Persistent Cookies:

•    Session cookies are stored on your device only for the duration of your visit to our website and are deleted when you close your browser. These cookies are necessary, inter alia, to ensure secure browsing and the proper functioning of the website.
•    Persistent cookies remain stored on your device for a longer period of time or until you delete them. The retention period of such cookies depends on their specific lifespan and your browser settings.
