Each user is assigned an individual cookie, thus ensuring privacy and data security. The presentation of statistical data is made in an aggregate form and not individual, not allowing the identification of the user. In this way, it is possible to evaluate the performance of the Website, with a view to constant updating and improvement, in order to meet the tastes and needs of the user.
When sending one of our newsletters, we incorporate a small invisible graphic, or web beacon, at the bottom of the HTML e-mail. This graphic is unique to each newsletter that we send and allows us to know whether the email has been read or clicked on, as well as the location, date and time of opening and other technical information. Obtaining this data is essential for sending the newsletter and for us to improve our communications with users. Unlike Cookies, the subscriber cannot refuse the use of web beacons, so if you do not agree to their use, you should not subscribe to our newsletters.
Websites may include hyperlinks to other websites which are not under our supervision. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we do not accept any responsibility for the privacy protection or content of these websites, but we provide these links to make it easier for our visitors to find out more information on specific topics.
