What is a cookie and what other tracking technologies do we use?

A cookie is a small file that operates the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by other companies (“third-party cookies”).

As well as that we can use other type of tracking technologies that allow us to understand your use of our Services and interact with other digital services.
