There are two main types of cookies:

The cookies generated by browsing are used exclusively for statistical purposes (“Anonymous analytics cookies”) and do not allow specific individuals to be identified.

On some pages of the site, third parties may set their own anonymous cookies (“Third-party cookies”) to track how their application works or to customise it according to the user’s tastes and preferences.

To analyse how users use the site, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). These cookies collect information anonymously about user activity on the site. For more information, see the Google privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
