The registration of a cookie in your terminal is essentially subject to your will, which you can express and modify at any time and free of charge through the choices offered by your browser software.

Conversely, you can set your browser to refuse cookies. In this regard, your attention is drawn to the fact that by setting your browser to refuse cookies, certain features, pages and spaces on the Site will not be accessible (e. g., if you try to access our content or services requiring your identification, or if we or our service providers cannot recognize, for technical compatibility purposes, the type of browser used by your terminal, its language and display settings or the country from which your terminal is located). We cannot be held responsible for the consequences of degraded functioning of our services resulting from the impossibility for us to record or consult the cookies necessary for their functioning and which you would have refused or deleted.
