WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are unique identifiers, generally composed of small strings of text or code. As a rule, cookies are stored on your device or in your browser, and send certain information to the party that sent the cookie. When we talk about cookies, we refer in reality to a wider range of technologies rather than only to cookies, including web beacons, clear gifs, pixels and other similar technologies. When we talk about proprietary cookies, we mean cookies sent by Consortium GARR. When we talk about third party cookies, we mean cookies sent by third parties unrelated to 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 that sends the cookie to analyze the performance of a website or a mobile app, to identify certain users anonymously and remember their preferences, to better understand if a computer or device (and probably its user) has already visited a website and to provide personalized advertising.

HOW CAN I AVOID COOKIES?

You can avoid certain cookies by configuring your browser settings, or by directly deactivating the part that manages and controls cookies. Check the settings on your browser for more detailed information. Disabling cookies may prevent the correct operation of some features of this website.

Advertising companies also allow you to opt out of receiving targeted ads, if desired. This does not prevent the setting of cookies, but stops the use and collection of some data by these companies. For more information and opt-out possibilities, please see http://www.youronlinechoices.eu/
