Session Cookies
Session cookies are temporary cookies used for the duration of a visitor’s visit to the website and deleted once the browser is closed. The basic purpose of using this type of cookie is to ensure that the website works properly for the duration of your visit — for example, so that you can complete online forms spread across more than one page.

Some kinds of persistent cookie can be used to offer you tailored suggestions, taking into account matters such as your purpose in using the website. Thanks to persistent cookies, when you visit our website again from the same device, a check is made for a cookie created by our site; if one is present, it is understood that you have visited the site before, and the content presented to you is determined accordingly, so that you receive a better service.
