II. Information about cookies and online identifiers

This policy provides you with general information about how browsing our website leads to the placement and use of cookies, online identifiers and other similar technologies, and the services that use them. These are placed and used, as appropriate, to:

III. What are cookies and online identifiers?

Cookies are small text files placed by the website/page you visit, through your browser, on the device you use for browsing (computer, smartphone, etc.), which “remember” this browser and/or device when the website/page is accessed, and help the user navigate the website efficiently and perform certain functions. Whenever you browse our website for the first time or return to it, these small files in your browser communicate with the server that placed the cookie. These identifiers can thus provide a range of services – for example, they can remember your preferred language and font size settings, they can remember the cookies you opted for, whether the website is accessed by a human user or a botnet, in which case online alert and security tools can be triggered, etc. As a general rule, the information collected through cookies is not likely to lead to the identification of internet users, however, cookies may track information such as the IP address, geolocation data, operating system data, resolution of the device used, data regarding the visits on the website (including the number of visits, the time spent on the website, the manner in which the website is accessed, the behaviour on the website), the organic traffic (representing the traffic generated on our website through search engines, excluding possible paid advertisements). However, they will be used in the form of anonymised statistics for the purposes described in our detailed Cookie List.

IV. Who can place cookies and online identifiers

Cookies and online identifiers can be placed when you browse our website, either by our server (first-party cookies) or by third-party domains (third-party cookies). Since 2020, new ways of interacting with users of various websites have evolved, such as Privacy Sandbox or Google Consent Mode, which, for example, allows websites to run Google-based services based on the consent expressed by the website user.
