Some cookie functionalities can also be implemented through other technologies. In this document, the term “cookies” refers to cookies and similar technologies.

Cookies allow the website to record user preferences, such as browsed pages, downloaded files, or other actions performed while navigating the site.

First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
