Cookies Policy

This document explains how we use the cookies on our website.

What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of data that a website sends to a user’s computer.

What is the purpose of cookies?
Web pages have no memory. A user who surfs from one page to another on a website is not recognised as the same user on each web page. Cookies allow a website to recognise a user’s browser. Cookies are therefore mainly used to memorise user’s choices (e.g. the language spoken) and to recognise repeat visitors to a website.

Are cookies all the same?
No, there are several types of cookie, which are used according to needs. Cookies can be distinguished according to their function, duration and origin.
