Cookies information according to European legislation
The website you are browsing is compliant with European cookie policy. To make this site work, we sometimes install on your device small data files called "cookies". The site makes use of its own profiling cookies or cookies introduced by third party services that the site itself makes use of.
What are cookies?
Small cookies are stored in your computer when visiting a website.
These are used to customize users' browsing and gather automatic site access and usage information.
When the website is trusted, as with our portal, cookies help improve and speed up your navigation, as well as facilitate your next visit by making the site more useful to your needs.
This is the setup (or creation) sequence of a cookie:
· When you visit a Web site for the first time, this prompts you to accept a cookie for a specific domain. If you accept, the cookie is saved on your computer.
· Every time a resource is displayed in that domain, the browser sends the cookie.
Is it possible to block cookies?
Yes, you can block or allow cookies on any Web site or choose the sites for which you are allowed.
Should I lock all cookies?
Not necessarily. Blocking all cookies can actually help protect your privacy, but limit the functionality available on some websites. Therefore, you should choose which websites to allow cookies. You can then initially block all cookies and then allow those that are required for trusted sites.
What are Temporary Cookies?
Temporary cookies (or session cookies) are removed from the computer at the end of the browser. They are used to store temporary information, such as items in the cart.
What are permanent cookies?
Permanent cookies (or cookies saved) remain stored on your computer even after you close the Browser Browser. They are used to store information such as your login name and password, so you do not have to cheat them whenever you visit a specific site. Permanent cookies can stay on your computer for days, months, or even years.
What are the web site cookies displayed?
Web site cookies that are displayed derive from the displayed Web site and may be permanent or temporary. They can be used to store information that will be reused at the next site visit.
What are third-party cookies?
Third-party cookies result from ads from other sites, such as pop-ups or banners, on the Web site you are viewing. They can be used to register the use of the website for marketing purposes.

Opening an incognito navigation window
An incognito navigation window looks different from a normal window. The top of an incognito navigation window is gray or blue, depending on your computer or device.
To open an incognito navigation window, do the following:
Exit the incognito navigation mode
To quit browsing in incognito, you can:
· Click the X icon in the corner of the window.
· Use the keyboard shortcut Alt + F4 (Windows and Linux) or? -Multiple-W (Mac).
· Close the last tab in a window; the window will also automatically close.
How does it work
· The browsing history is not recorded. Browsing web pages and downloaded files in incognito navigation mode are not recorded in navigation and download history.
· Cookies are deleted. All new cookies are deleted after you have closed all incognito browsing windows.
· You can easily navigate from incognito to normal mode and vice versa. You can open incognito browsing windows and normal windows at once and switch between modes.
· Extensions are deactivated. In incognito navigation windows extensions are automatically disabled. This is because Google Chrome does not control the way your extensions manage your personal data. If you want an extension to appear in the i navigation windows
Data that is stored

Turn off third-party cookies
Third-party cookies are cookies set by a website other than what you are currently visiting. For example, the cnn.com site may contain a "Like" button on Facebook. That button will set a cookie that can be read by Facebook. This could be considered as a third-party cookie.
Some advertisers use these types of cookies to track user visits on all sites they offer their services. If a user believes that this traceability may be a source of concern and privacy in your privacy, you can turn off third-party cookies in Firefox.
Notes:
· Disabling third-party cookies may in some cases prevent tracking from advertisers but not all.
· Some websites (such as Microsoft's Hotmail, MSN, and Windows Live Mail mailboxes) use third-party cookies for purposes that are not necessarily related to privacy and their deactivation may interfere with the proper functionality
