WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies is the name for small files that are saved in the browser used by each visitor to our web page so that the server can remember this user’s visit afterwards when he accesses our contents again. Cookies enable a web page, among other things, to store and recover information on a user’s browsing habits or those of his computer, and, depending on the information that they contain and the way that he uses his computer, they can be used to recognize the user. Normally, (since this is not always the case), the user’s browser stores cookies on the hard drive only during the current session, and thus they occupy a minimal space in the memory and do not damage the computer. Cookies do not contain any sort of specific personal information, and the majority of them are deleted from the hard drive when the browser session is ended (the so-called session cookies). This information does not reveal your identity, or any personal data, nor does it access content stored on your device, but it does permit our system to identify you as a certain user who has already visited the website previously, viewed certain pages, etc., and it also enables us to save your personal preferences and technical information such as the visits made or the specific pages that you visit. Cookies do not usually store sensitive information about you, such as credit cards or bank data, photographs, National ID Document no. or personal information. The data that they save is technical in nature, personal preferences, customization of contents, etc. The web server does not associate this information with you as a person, but rather with your web browser. In fact, if you usually browse with Internet Explorer and you try browsing the same web page with Firefox or Chrome you will see that the web page does not notice that you are the same person, because in reality it is identifying the browser and not the person.
