The cookie is installed through the request issued by a web server to a browser (eg: Edge, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari) and is completely "passive" (it does not contain software programs, viruses or spyware and cannot access the information on the hard disk or internal memory of the user who accesses the website of our faculty).

 

What are Cookies used for?

These files make it possible to recognize the user's terminal and present the content in a relevant way, adapted to the user's preferences.

What types of Cookies do we use?

We use two types of Cookies: per session and fixed. Those per session are temporary files that remain in the user's terminal until the end of the session or the closing of the application (web browser). The fixed ones remain on the user's terminal for a period defined by the Cookie parameters or until they are manually deleted by the user.
