To ensure the proper functioning of the website, we sometimes place small data files on your computer, called “cookies”. Most major websites do the same.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit that website. In this way, the site remembers your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) for a period of time, so you do not have to re-enter them whenever you visit the site or browse its pages.
How do we use cookies?
Some of our pages use cookies to remember:
- your display preferences, e.g. brightness or font size
- whether you have already responded to a pop-up survey asking if the content was useful or not (so you are not asked again)
- whether you have agreed (or not) to our use of cookies on this website.
In addition, some videos embedded on our pages use a cookie to collect anonymous statistics about how you reached that point and which videos you visited.
Enabling these cookies is not strictly necessary for the website to function, but it will give you a better browsing experience. You can delete or block these cookies, but if you do, some features of the site may not function properly.
The information related to cookies is not used to personally identify you and we have full control over the usage data. Cookies are not used for any purpose other than those described in this text.
