The software applications used may contain ‘cookie’ technology.

Cookies are mainly used to facilitate navigation by the user. Cookies may provide information on navigation within the Site and allow the operation of certain services that require the identification of the user’s path through different pages of the Site.

Whenever you access the portal, regardless of whether a cookie is present, the type of browser, operating system (e.g. Microsoft, Apple, Android, Linux, etc.), host and URL of origin of the visitor are recorded, in addition to data on the page requested. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie and decide whether to delete it.

Further information on cookies can be found on the websites of browser providers.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer when you visit certain pages on the internet. In most browsers, cookies are enabled, but you can disable them. Cookies are not harmful to your device. We do not store any personally identifiable information in the cookies we generate, but we use information to improve your experience on the website. For example, they are useful for identifying and resolving errors.

Cookies can perform various functions, such as navigating between pages efficiently and generally improving the user’s experience. The data controller reserves the right to use cookies, with the user’s consent where required by applicable law or regulations, to facilitate navigation on this website and personalise the information that will appear. The data controller also reserves the right to use similar systems to collect information about users of the website, such as the type of Internet browser and operating system used, for statistical or security purposes.

Types of cookies

Cookies are divided into ‘session’ and ‘persistent’ cookies. The former are deleted when the browser is closed, while the latter are stored until they expire or are deleted. The session cookies used are intended to speed up the analysis of Internet traffic and facilitate users’ access to the services offered by the site. Session cookies are mainly used during authentication, authorisation and navigation in services accessed through registration. Most browsers are set to accept cookies. If you do not wish to accept cookies, you can set your computer to refuse them or to display a warning when they are stored. If you refuse to accept cookies, some features of the website may not function properly and some services may not be available. The use of so-called session cookies is strictly limited to the transmission of session identifiers, which are necessary to enable the safe and efficient exploration of the website. This data is technical in nature, has a temporary validity and is not collected for the purpose of identifying users but, due to its functioning and in combination with other data held by third parties (e.g. the user’s Internet service provider), it could allow identification. First-party cookies can only be read by the domain that created them.
