 ### What are cookies?
 
 Cookies (small text files that the visited website sends to your device, where they are then stored to be re-transmitted to the same website at the next visit) can be _permanent_ or _session_, "_First-party_" (site or domain of origin), or "_Third-party_" (from third parties). Persistent cookies consist of a text file sent from a web server to a web browser. Once stored by the browser, it remains valid until the scheduled expiration date (unless the visitor deletes it before the time mentioned above). Session cookies expire at the end of the session or when the user closes the web browser. "_First-party_" cookies are those set by this site; "_Third-party_" cookies are of a different domain than this one, and they are set up because they use functions managed by third parties. Our website uses the following cookies:
 
 _Session cookies_ (not stored permanently on the user's computer and disappear when the browser is closed) and are strictly limited to the transmission of session identifiers (consisting of random numbers generated by the server) necessary to allow safe browsing and efficiency of the site. Session cookies used on this site avoid using other technologies that could compromise the privacy of users' browsing and do not allow the acquisition of personal data.
 
-It is, however, possible for the user to set cookies from the "Preferences" of the browser used and eventually automatically refuse the receipt of cookies by activating the appropriate option: the non-use of technical cookies, however, could involve technical difficulties of interaction with this website.
