About Cookies

A Cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser makes a page request to a server.

By browsing this website, the user can receive also cookies sent by different websites or servers – so called “third parties”. This happens when on these latter websites or servers reside some elements already present on the website actually being browsed by the user (e.g. pictures, sounds, maps, specific links to other webpages or domains).

Technical Cookies can be subdivided in:
– Navigation and session cookies

Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address is sent to and shortened by Google servers in the USA.
