    What are cookies?

    Cookies are small text files sent to the user’s device (usually to the user’s browser) by the websites the user visits when the latter accesses such websites for the purpose of storing and transporting information. They are stored so that they can recognise that device on the next visit. On each subsequent visit the cookies are resent from the user's device back to the Website.

    Each cookie generally contains the name of the server from which the cookie was sent and the expiration date and a value, usually a unique number randomly generated by the computer.

    The Controller uses the following cookies:

    Third-party cookies. Please note that the following third parties may also use cookies, over which we have no control. This happens because there may be elements (images, maps, sounds, links to web pages of other domains, etc.) on the Website that are stored on servers other than that of the Website. These named third parties may include, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services. These third-party cookies are likely to be analytical cookies or performance cookies or targeting cookies:

They are usually used to enable efficient navigation between pages, store user preferences (language, searches performed, etc.) store information about specific user configurations, perform user authentication, store items in the shopping cart during online purchases, or make use of e-billing services, etc. Pursuant to regulation 6(4) of PECR, technical cookies do not require consent, but it should be explained to the user what they do and why they are necessary or useful.
