Cookie Policy
Cookies are files that a website or application used by a user installs in the user’s browser or device (smartphone, tablet or connected television) during browsing.
Cookies are used to:
- Ensure that website pages can work properly.
- Store user preferences, language and font size, etc.
- Understand the user’s browsing experience.
- Gather anonymous statistical information, such as which pages the user viewed and how long they visited the website.
Cookies are useful for several reasons. From a technical point of view, they allow websites to function faster and in ways that are tailored to user preferences. They also help those responsible for websites to improve their services because of the statistical information collected through cookies.
This Website uses Google Analytics, an analytical web service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies – text files that are installed on the computer and enable users’ internet behaviour to be analysed. The information generated by cookies about a user’s use of a website is generally transmitted and stored on Google servers in the United States. If you activate the anonymous IP option on the website, the full IP address will not appear within countries of the European Union or within any other countries that have agreed this in the European Union economic area. Only exceptionally will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and, once there, it will be shortened. Only with the website user’s authorisation will Google use this information to assess users’ behaviour on the website, generate reports on the website activities and provide the owner of the website with services related to website use and internet use. The IP address sent from your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be associated with other Google data. The user can prevent cookies from being saved by configuring his/her browser accordingly so that cookies are not stored. This configuration may affect the full functionality of the website.
Users can also prevent the recording of data generated by cookies and data relating to the use of the website (including the IP address), and prevent the processing of this data, by downloading and installing the following browser plugin available through the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
More information on the terms of use and privacy policy can be found under Google Analytics’ terms of use or under Google Analytics’ general terms and conditions. Please note: on this page, the Google Analytics code includes the label “gat._anonymizeIp();”, which ensures that IP addresses are collected anonymously (IP masking).
