What are cookie?
Cookies are small files automatically sent to your device, which are saved in the directories used by your web browser. They are harmless bits of locally memorized text that can easily be viewed and deleted. Cookies are then sent back to the website of origin every time you visit that site or another one that recognizes the same cookie.

Types of cookies
Strictly necessary cookies:
These cookies are essential to enable the website to function correctly; they enable you to register/login and access the features reserved for you, and they enable us to monitor the website security and improve its performance, for example, by memorizing your preferences for future visits.
There are two types:

These cookies are sent by our domain and are necessary in order to visualize the website correctly and enjoy its features; they will always be used and sent, unless the user’s browser settings are modified to block them (which will prevent visualising the website).
