ABOUT COOKIES
Cookies are a tool used by Web servers to store and retrieve information about their visitors or users. It is nothing more than a text file that some servers install during browsing and which provides information such as: access location, connection time, access device (fixed or mobile), operating system and browser used, most visited pages, number of clicks and data on Internet user behaviour. They do not provide references that would make it possible to deduce the user’s name and surname and they cannot read data on their hard drive or include viruses on their computers; nor can they read the cookies implanted on the user’s hard drive from other servers.

They establish levels of protection and security that prevent or hinder cyber-attacks against the website or its users.
They provide media managers access to the statistical data collected to improve the quality and experience of their services.
