The purpose of the cookie is to remember the user's actions and preferences, for example the navigation language, so that it does not have to be indicated again when the user navigates between one page and another of the same site or returns to it. a later time.

Visitors can set the computer browser so that it accepts / rejects all cookies or displays a warning every time a cookie is proposed, in order to be able to evaluate whether to accept it or not. the user is enabled, however, to modify the default configuration (by default) and disable cookies (ie to permanently set them), setting the highest level of protection.

• Navigation or session cookies (for example for authentication);
