"Technical" cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the Sites and allow users to browse the Sites and take advantage of their features. (for example, they allow the memorization of previous actions or allow the user's session to be saved and/or to carry out other activities strictly necessary for the functioning of the Sites).

Finally, functionality cookies allow the Sites to remember the user's choices (for example the user name) to provide the latter with more personalized and optimized navigation. Functional cookies are not essential for the functioning of the Sites, but they improve their quality and browsing experience. If you do not accept these cookies, the performance and functionality of the Sites may be lower and access to the contents of the Sites may be limited.
