WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are unique identifiers, generally consisting of small text strings or code. Typically, cookies are stored on your device or in your browser and send certain information to the party that transmitted the cookie. When we talk about cookies, we actually refer to a wider range of technologies rather than just cookies, including web beacons, clear gifs, pixels and other similar technologies. When we talk about first-party cookies, we mean cookies transmitted by the Consortium GARR. When we talk about third-party cookies, we mean cookies transmitted by third parties external to the Consortium GARR.
HOW ARE COOKIES USED?
Cookies are used to better understand how applications and websites work and to optimize online and mobile experiences. Cookies do this by allowing the party transmitting the cookie to analyze the performance of a website or mobile app, to identify certain users anonymously and remember their preferences, to better understand whether a computer or device (and probably its user) has previously visited a website and to provide personalized information.
HOW CAN I AVOID COOKIES?
You can avoid certain cookies by configuring your browser settings or by directly disabling the party that manages and controls the cookies. Check your browser settings for more detailed information. Disabling cookies may prevent some features of this site from working properly.
For detailed information on the necessary procedure, you can consult your browser guide. For an overview of the most common browsers, you can visit the websites:
www.cookiepedia.co.uk or
www.aboutcookies.org
Advertising companies also allow you to opt out of receiving targeted ads, if you wish. This does not prevent cookies from being set, but stops the use and collection of certain data by such companies. For more information and opt-out options, visit www.youronlinechoices.eu
