Reference Cookies

In order to ensure the proper functioning of the site, sometimes we place small data files on your computer, which are called “cookies”. Most major websites do the same.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a site saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit this site. In this way, the site remembers your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) for a while, so you do not have to enter these preferences each time you visit the site or browse its pages.

Cookies play an important role. Without them, using the web would be a much more complex experience.

How do we use cookies?

Some of our pages use cookies to remember:…

  • your display preferences, e.g. brightness or character size.
  • If you have already responded to an upcoming research asking if the content was useful or not (so that you will not be asked the same question again).
  • If you have agreed (or not) to use cookies on this site.

Also, some multimedia embedded in our pages and / or specific pages & articles use cookies to gather anonymous statistics about how you reached that point and which multimedia, pages, or articles you visited.

Activating these cookies is not necessary for the site to work, but you’ll have the ability to get better browsing through them. You can delete or block access to these cookies, but if you make certain site features it may not work well.

The information related to cookies is not used to personally identify you. Cookies are not used for purposes other than those described herein.

How to control cookies

You can control and / or delete cookies according to your preferences. Details can be found here: aboutcookies.org. You can delete all cookies already on your computer, and set up most browsers in a way that prevents cookies from being installed. However, in this case, you may need to customize certain preferences yourself whenever you visit a site, and some services may also not work.
