Cookies policy

Through these Policy Statements, we aim to transparently inform you about how (and for what purposes) we use cookies

What are cookies, what are they used for, and who installs them?
Cookies are small text strings that websites send to your device (e.g., PC, tablet, smartphone), where they are stored and/or read by your web browser. Cookies allow the browser to send information to those who installed the cookies so that we can provide you with optimal navigation, create statistics about website traffic, offer personalized content, and target marketing.

While navigating this website, you may receive the following types of cookies on your device:

  • First-party cookies: cookies sent from the website you are visiting that is owned by the website owner;
  • Third-party cookies: cookies sent from a different website than the one you are visiting.

The management and responsibility for first-party cookies lie with the Owner. The Owner has no control over third-party cookies, their activity, or whether they may change over time.

In the case of third-party cookies, the Owner acts as an intermediary and relies on the information provided by the third party.

Other tracking tools Similar to cookies, other tracking tools have been developed to track the same purposes. These tracking tools can be categorized according to a set of criteria. T

he main criterion remains the purpose of use: either technical or commercial.

  • Purpose of this Cookie Policy
    In accordance with current data protection legislation (particularly Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on personal data protection, “GDPR,” and European cookie legislation), we inform you about the processing of your personal data collected through cookies (and possibly other similar tracking tools), including third-party cookies. Processing will be based on principles of fairness, lawfulness, and transparency, as well as the protection of your privacy and rights.
