Cookies can be installed either directly by the websites or platforms visited by the user, which are known as “own cookies,” or by third parties with which the website or platform is related.

For example, the following data may be collected: the location from which you access the internet, the duration of your internet connection, the device you use to access the internet (fixed or mobile), the operating system and browser you employ, the pages you visit most frequently, the number of clicks you make, and data regarding your online behaviour.
