What are cookies?
As clarified by the Privacy Guarantor in its FAQ of 8th of May 2014, cookies are “small text files” – made up of letters and numbers – “that sites visited by the user send to his terminal (usually to the browser), where they are stored and then retransmitted to the same sites the next time the same user visits”. Cookies have the function of streamlining web traffic analysis or signaling when a specific site or part of a site is visited, distinguishing between visitors in order to provide personalized content, and helping administrators to improve the site and the user’s browsing experience. Through cookies we cannot access any other information stored on your device, even if that is where the cookies are downloaded. Cookies cannot load code of any kind, carry viruses or malware and are not harmful to your terminal equipment.
Below you can find all the information about the cookies installed through this site, and the necessary guidance on how to manage your preferences in this respect.
