Analytic or statistic cookies
In order to improve our website's design, as well as the quality of our editorial content, we use analytic cookies, that enable us to count the number of times our website was visited, learn by means of which keywords it was found and which are our user's preferred devices. Furthermore, they allow us to count the number of visits and learn about the immediate sources of traffic as, for example if it comes from our newsletters, or from one or the other social media outlet. In addition, they enable us to map the most popular pages (the so called «heatmap» of each page) and how long the visits last. This type of cookies does not record any identifiable personal information, but they do inform us about the country, state or province from which the website was accessed, without, however, identifying your precise geolocation. For your safety, the information is aggregate, and therefore anonymized.
