Indispensable technical cookies
They are essential for proper website operation. Without these cookies proper operation of some functions may be compromised thereby limiting access to contents. No personal information of the user is collected by this type of cookie.
Technical cookies for functions
These cookies are used to memorise the choices made by the user to optimise and improve navigation (for example, the language chosen or pre-filling a form with a name that has already been used). This type of cookie may include the user's personal information (eg. user name). Without these cookies a number of functions and navigation through pages may be compromised.
Analytic cookies
These cookies are used to gain insight into how visitors use the website: if they are first-time users or visitors returning to the website, how visitors move between pages, how long they stay on pages and on the website, and what geographic area they come from. Data do not identify visitors as individuals but are aggregated anonymously by the analytical tools. Disabling these cookies does not compromise website operation in any way.
Social widget cookies
Some widgets, made available by social networks (for example Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google Maps, etc.) may use their own cookies (third-party cookies). Disabling these cookies does not compromise use of the website except in the sections where the widgets are installed (for example, videos or maps integrations) allowing quick sharing of contents or commenting website contents.
Profiling cookies
Profiling cookies are installed to display contents matching visitor preferences. They can therefore be used to show advertising targeted to the user's interests. This type of cookie operates in cooperation with third-party websites and may track past browsing through pages on different domains. These cookies usually track the user's IP address in addition to other personal information.
