WHAT ARE “COOKIES”?
A “cookie” is a very small file containing data that is stored in your computer’s web browser when specific web pages are visited. By itself, the cookie does not contain or collect information except when it is read by a server through a web browser; it may provide information in order to achieve a more convenient service for the user by registering, together with other data, the user’s preferences, by identifying errors and/or collecting data for statistical purposes. The “cookie” will not harm on your computer, and as a result of using the site no personal data is stored. The full use of our website requires the installation of cookies.
