1. What cookies are
Cookies are small files that a website saves in your browser. Similar technologies, such as sessionStorage, keep small pieces of data in the browser. We call them all "cookies" unless stated otherwise.
Legal framework: Law no. 506/2004 on the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector (art. 4(5), to be confirmed, implementing Directive 2002/58/EC), together with the GDPR. Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent. All others are used only with your consent.

2. Categories
- Necessary: make the Service work (authentication, security, remembering your choices). Always active.
- Analytics: would help us understand how the site is used. Off by default and enabled only with your consent.
- Marketing: would serve personalized advertising. Off by default and enabled only with your consent.
We do not use statistics or advertising cookies.
The consent banner already shows the "analytics" and "marketing" categories, off by default. We will use them only if we add such tools. Before we activate them, we will update this policy and the list below, and ask for your consent.
