Some operations could not be carried out without the use of cookies, which in some cases are technically necessary. In other cases the site makes use of cookies to facilitate the user’s navigation. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (so-called first party cookies) or may be set by other websites (so-called third party cookies) and are used to perform actions such as computer authentication, session tracking and storing information about the activities of users accessing the site.

information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide this service.
