A cookie is a small file consisting of a sequence of letters and a number that is downloaded to the visitor's computer when he first enters a certain website. The website allows the visitor to be recognized at each return, thereby contributing to a better functioning of the site and the user experience. A typical example is dedicated to the shopping cart. Without the cookie, it would be empty every time you leave the website. Cookies are not viruses, do not reproduce and in principle are not harmful.
With them it is possible to analyze the traffic on the website, implement advanced advertising techniques and follow a certain user through different websites and create his profile from which intimate details of his life can be seen. In practice, this too often takes place covertly, so in this sense cookies represent an invasion of privacy. That is why the new legislation restricts the use of cookies. It does not prohibit them, but tightens the rules of use. The key is that website users must be aware of cookies and that they must be offered a choice as to whether they want the website to monitor their online activities in this way.
These cookies are automatically allowed because the website won't work without them. They are essential to allow you to navigate our site and to make sure the core processes work.
