Cookies and other tracking systems
Cookies are small text strings that a website sends and stores on the user’s device, for use by the website at the next visit by the user. During browsing, the user may also receive on his/her device cookies that are sent by different websites or web servers (belonging to “third parties”), which may have some elements (for example, images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages of other domains) present on the website visited. Cookies are used for various purposes such as, for example, performing computer authentication, monitoring sessions and storing information about specific configurations of the users accessing the server.
Therefore, cookies can be classed as:
- First-party cookies, sent directly from Sartec to the user’s device
- Third-party cookies, originating from a third party but sent on behalf of Sartec.
You can select your cookie consent preferences via the dynamic cookie banner when you first access the site. This website records your cookie consent choices so that you do not have to be asked again every time you visit the website. If you wish, you can update your preferences at any time by clicking on the “Cookie preferences” button at the bottom of the pages of the website you visit.
You are free to block the installation of unnecessary cookies at any time, without affecting your ability to visit the website and enjoy its content.
