1. What are cookies?

An "internet cookie" (a term also known as a "browser cookie" or "HTTP cookie" or simply a "cookie") is a small file consisting of letters and numbers that will be stored on a user's computer, mobile device, or other equipment used to access the internet.

Cookies are installed through a request issued by a web server to a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome).

Once installed, cookies have a determined lifespan, remaining "passive" in the sense that they do not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware and will not access information on the hard drive of the user on whose equipment they were installed.

A cookie consists of two parts: the cookie name and the content/value of the cookie.

Technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that specific web server.

2. For what purposes are cookies used through this website:

Cookies are used to provide users of this website with a better browsing experience and services tailored to the needs and interests of each individual user, as follows:
