POLICY IN RELATION TO COOKIES What are cookies? Cookies are small files with information that a website (specifically a web server) stores on a user’s computer so that whenever the user logs in to the web page, the latter retrieves that information and offers the user related services. A typical example of such information is the user’s preferences on a website, as stated by the user’s choices on the site (e.g. selecting specific “buttons”, searches, ads, etc.). Depending on their duration, cookies are either “temporary” or “permanent”. “Temporary cookies” are cookies that are automatically deleted when you close your browser, while “permanent cookies” remain stored in your terminal equipment until their predetermined validity period is reached. When you visit our Website you may choose to accept one or more or all cookies that we will send you. The acceptability of cookies is offered in the “Accept Cookies” link Does our Company use Cookies?
