Cookie Policy
This website, like most others, uses cookies to enhance browsing. Cookies allow us to personalise the services our website delivers and to provide you with tailored information and content. Below we explain all about cookies, the types of cookie this website uses, how to disable them in your browser, how to disable third-party cookies, and the possible effects of doing so.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small files that some platforms, like websites, store on your computer, smartphone, tablet or Internet-enabled TV when you access them. They can be used to store your browsing and user preferences, collect statistical data, enable browser functions, store and retrieve information about your browsing habits and the device you use and – depending on the information they collect and how you use your device – identify it. Essentially, they personalise and enhance browsing. They’re associated with a single user and device. They don’t collect information that reveals personal data. You can configure your browser to notify you of cookie use or, alternatively, to block them.
Why use cookies?
Cookies have several uses. From an IT perspective, they streamline website operation and, by storing details like user language and local currency, adapt it to user preferences. They also help enhance website services by collecting statistical data about website usage.

– First-party cookies
These are stored on your device by the servers via which we deliver our services.

Performance preferences include things like media player volume settings, list order preferences and video playback quality. Similarly, online shops use them to store shopping cart data.
– Analytics cookies
Set either by us or third parties, they’re used to analyse visitor numbers and compile service usage statistics. We use them to understand how users browse our website so that we can adapt our services accordingly. These cookies don’t collect personal data that could reveal your identity. They simply record anonymous data about your browsing behaviour.

These cookies are used to identify the location of your computer, smartphone, tablet or Internet-enabled TV and offer you content and services tailored to your locale.
– Other third-party cookies
Some of our pages may set third-party cookies used to manage and enhance the services those third parties provide. Social media links that allow you to share our content with your friends and connections are a good example of this type.
