What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that certain websites store on your computer or mobile device. On this website, cookies are used to improve the performance of your browser. A cookie is installed through a request sent by the server of a specific web page to your browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely “passive” (it does not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware, and it does not have access to user hardware information).

These files make it possible to recognize a user’s device and present content in an appropriate way, adapted to the user’s preferences. Cookies provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and help the company offer suitable services, such as language preferences, screen layout, and consent to privacy policies.

Security and confidentiality

Cookies are NOT viruses! They are plain text files. They are not made up of code fragments, so they cannot be executed or self-executed. Therefore, they cannot be duplicated or copied to other networks to run or replicate themselves. Since they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.

We take the utmost care to protect personal data, the information stored in cookies, and your smooth access to all website functionalities.
