A cookie is a simple text file that is stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites functional and help them function more efficiently as well as to provide information to website owners.

How are cookies used?

Most websites use Google Analytics, an analytic internet service provided by Google which helps website owners measure how users interact with this website content. To this purpose, Google Analytics uses cookies which are text files placed in your computer. Google conveys and stocks the information generated by cookies with regards to your usage of this website – standard journal internet usage (including your IP address) and the information regarding your online behavior in an anonymous form. Google will transform this information in anonymous information by cutting out the last octet of your IP address before stocking it. According to Google Analytics usage terms, Google will use that information to assess the way you use the website and to prepare website activity reports.

Brand Divisions shall not use nor allow third parties to use this statistic and analytic tool to track down or collect any kind of personal identifiable data regarding the users of this website. Google may transfer information collected by Google Analytics to third parties only when required to do so by law or when that third party processes information on behalf of Google. According to Google Analytics usage terms, Google shall not assign your IP address to any kind of data owned by Google. You may refuse to use Google Analytics cookies by downloading and installing Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. This programme communicates with Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) and indicates that the information regarding website usage should not be sent to Google Analytics.

Cookies are also used to register if you agreed (or not) with cookie usage on this website in order not to be prompted with the same question each time you visit the website.
