What are cookies?

How are cookies used?
Our cookies do not remember personal data. These allow us only to find out information after you logged in or to help us make a connection between the information regarding the navigation made and your personal data, when you choose to register.
For this, in some cases, we use persistent cookies. We take the protection of your personal data seriously - we always monitor and improve the way in which we can protect them.
We have classified our cookies in the following categories, in order for you to understand better why we need them:
- Strictly necessary - these are used in order to improve our work on the website
- Performance - these are used to analyse the manner in which our website works and how we can improve it
- Functionality - to register information that allows us to adapt our website to our users. This information is used for a very limited purpose, stored for a limited time period. All information is completely anonymous and is not used for any other purpose.
- Targeting/publicity - these are used to exchange certain information with third parties which help with our promotion, in order to know how you got to our website. At the same time, we can use cookies in order to identify the parts of the website that you are interested in. We then use this information to show you commercials and pages that we believe interest you, in order to individualise the manner in which we communicate to you or to individualise the content of the communications we send you. If you prefer, you can choose to withdraw from them. The individualisation of content means that it includes information that reflects the interest you have shown for our pages, which we believe might interest you, and to improve the manner in which we address your needs.
