Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to a user’s device when they visit a web site. At each subsequent visit cookies are sent back to the website that originated them (first party cookie) or to another site that recognizes them (third party cookies). Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize the user’s device. They have several purposes like, for example, to permit efficient navigation between pages, to remember your favourite sites and, in general, to improve your browsing experience. They also help ensure that advertising content is better targeted to the user and their interests. On the basis of their function and purpose, cookies can be classified as technical, profiling and third party cookies. This site uses technical and third party cookies only.
