Introduction

This website uses cookies. Cookies are pieces of information shared between a website and your Internet explorer. Using cookies allows the user to have a faster and simpler navigation experience. The only personal information held in a cookie is that which you provide. Cookies do not grant access to the data stored in your computer’s hard drive.

Types of cookies

There are two different types of cookies, depending on the time spent on a website:

Session cookies

These are only stored in your computer for as long as your Internet navigation lasts. They are erased automatically when your explorer is closed. Generally, they hold an anonymous ID session that allows you to surf a website without having to log in every time. They do not collect any information from your computer.

Persistent cookies

These are stored as a file in your computer and remain there after you close your Internet explorer. This cookie can be read by the website that created it whenever the user visits it again. They are used to collect information during your different visits to a website and are not deleted when you close your browser (hence their name).
