Deep Dive into Cookies
We collect information by placing cookies on your computer, tablet or mobile device ("device"). A cookie is a small text file that the browser deploys on your device. It is basically a tool that stores information about visits to websites and recognizes you and your preferences every time you visit. It guarantees the functionality of the site and allows us to provide members with the services they request.
When you visit, a session identification cookie is implanted in your device that only lasts the time of your visit. We also implant persistent cookies ("local storage devices") on the members' devices, so that they can remember you and make your experience faster and easier.
You can adapt the settings of your browser and mobile device to block cookies and local storage devices, but if you do, you may not have access to some of the services that offers.
