- Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies essential for the proper functioning of the website and are used to manage the session, login, and access to reserved functions of the site. The duration of the cookies is strictly limited to the working session (they are deleted when the browser is closed).
- Analysis and performance cookies. These are cookies used to collect and analyze traffic and usage of the website.

Third-party cookies
When visiting a website, you may receive cookies from both the visited site ('first-party') and from sites managed by other organizations ('third parties'). A notable example is the presence of 'social plugins' or the integration of third-party maps. These are parts of the visited page generated directly by these sites and integrated into the page of the hosting site. The most common use of social plugins is for sharing content on social networks, while maps allow you to locate activities according to established geographic coordinates.
The presence of these services involves the transmission of cookies to and from all sites managed by third parties. The management of information collected by 'third parties' is governed by their respective policies, to which reference should be made.
