TYPES OF COOKIES
Our site uses various types of cookies, which serve different purposes. Some are necessary to ensure the usability of our site.
Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources, so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the website. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

Other types of Cookies and social network plug-ins (social buttons)

To do this, the plug-ins use cookies to track the browsing of users, whether or not they are users of those platforms, and to check whether or not they are logged in to the social network while browsing. These cookies also allow advertising offers on those platforms to be targeted.
