ABOUT COOKIES
Cookies are small files that are stored on the browser used by visitors to our website. They enable the browser to remember users’ visit when they access our contents again. Cookies are able to store and recover information regarding the browsing habits of users or their devices, and, depending on the type of information and device used, may also recognise users. Although it is not always the case, users’ browsers normally only memorise cookies on the hard drive during the session in course, occupying only a very small amount of memory and are therefore not detrimental to computers. Cookies do not contain any specific personal data, and the majority are deleted from the hard drive when the browser is closed (these are known as session cookies). This information does not reveal your identity or any other personal data. Likewise, cookies are unable to access content stored on your device, although it does enable our system to identify you as a user that has visited our website on a previous occasion and viewed certain pages, etc. Furthermore, it allows your personal preferences to be saved, as well as technical information such as the number of visits or the specific pages viewed. As a general rule, cookies do not usually store sensitive personal data, such as credit card or bank details, photographs, your ID number or other personal data. The data stored are of a technical nature, as well as personal preferences and content personalisation, etc. The web server associates your web browser, not you as a person. In fact, if you normally use Internet Explorer when browsing and accessing the same website via Firefox or Chrome, you will notice that the website is unable to identify you as the same person, as it is actually linked to the browser, and not the person.
