Cookies are small pieces of text that are placed on your hard drive by the server of a website, based on our legitimate interest in optimizing our website. Cookies allow the website to "remember" your actions while browsing it. Cookies do not cause damage to your terminal device, they do not contain viruses, malware or other harmful programs. The web browser is part of your computer and stores certain preference information, such as preferred language, location, etc.
Cookies can perform many functions and are mainly used to measure the traffic of a website as a whole or only specific sub-pages. For example, the number of visitors live or per hour of the day, their geographical origin, the operating system and resolution of their computer screen, the page from which they came (via a search engine, a link from another page or directly input), the keyword used in the search engine, etc. Other cookies can remember, for the convenience of the user, the choice of language or the results of his search on a website. Still others can record the user's failed login attempts to a website, so that (the websites) require, after a certain number of failed login attempts, the further cross-checking of their data, for example by entering an additional code, which it is sent to him by sms on his mobile phone.
Also, when you visit a website to browse or read information, certain "visitor information" is collected and stored from you, such as the domain name and provider through which you access the Internet, the IP address of the computer you are using, the addresses you visited. This information is used both to measure traffic and to obtain necessary information to improve the usability of the websites.

3.1.1. Information Collected by Placing a "Cookie" on Your Computer
CMS COOKIES
The website is designed on the basis of a content management system (CMS), which by default stores cookies on the user's computer to improve his navigation of the page. These cookies are the following:
1.SESSION COOKIES
Session cookies allow users to be recognized while browsing a website so that their various choices are remembered and transferred from sub-page to sub-page. The most common example of this function is the shopping cart in online stores. When you add products to your cart, the session cookie remembers your selections so that the products you selected are there when you are ready to pay. Without the session cookie, the page would not remember exactly which products you added to your cart, resulting in your cart being empty when you clicked checkout.
Although our site does not sell products, the session cookies it uses work in exactly the same way. In particular, our page stores two session cookies:
-
One that remembers the page's browsing language selection &
-
One to remember all the remaining user options.
Both session cookies are automatically deleted from the user's computer after the end of their session, which occurs fifteen (15) minutes after their last action within the page. These cookies are of the original manufacturer (English term: "first party cookies"), i.e. they are placed and read by the domain of our page.
