Cookies are small text files sent from the website to your computer's browser, where they are stored before being referred back to the website upon the same user's next visit.

Analytics cookies used for measuring visits to our site

These cookies are used to statistically analyse site visits. The data we collect are exclusively used for statistical purposes (not for profiling or marketing) and to retrieve aggregate information without the possibility of tracing back to the identification of the individual user. In these cases, since current legislation requires that, when using analytic cookies, the user is given clear and adequate instructions to easily oppose the implementation of such cookies: you will find the instructions on how to disable installed analytics cookies below. 
We measure visits to our website using the services provided by Google Analytics and Statcounter.com.
These third-party cookies keep track of what pages you view within our site, how you arrived at our site and some basic information about your computer such as the browser used, the resolution of your screen, the operating system, etc.. 
All of that information is anonymous – so we don’t know who you are; just that someone visited our site.

The information we collect from analytics helps us understand if there are parts of our sites performing better than others, how people arrive at our site and so on. 
In short, like most websites, we simply use this information to make our website look and work better.

How to disable analytics cookies
You can learn more about the privacy policy of Google Analytics and opt out if you wish.
You can as well learn more about the privacy policy of Statcounter.com and opt out if you wish.
In both cases, choosing to opt out means you are refusing to consent these service providers to set cookies onto your computer.
